Amazon makes it super easy to find some of your most coveted products from the latest technological devices to best-selling books to the coolest toys for your little ones.  

Better yet, they provide you with this Prime membership opportunity that has said items on your front step sometimes in a matter of just hours.

So why isn’t everything on Amazon’s site so readily accessible? Why are you possibly left wondering, “just where can I see my Amazon reviews?”

Your Amazon Account is Overflowing

Well, truth be told, your Amazon account has a LOT going on.  They have to make room for you to be able to check out your previous orders, check shipping, browse, erase your browsing history so your wife doesn’t see the golf clubs you were eyeing up, manage your subscriptions, become a seller, and more.  

Arguably, it can be concluded that you won’t want to reference your own published thoughts on a particular product since you already likely remember how you feel about it.  

But what if you want to double-check what you said?  Or what if you’ve changed your mind about a particular product, and you’d like to edit your review?

You could make it incredibly difficult on yourself and go access all of the items you’ve purchased over time individually and hunt for your review in the product review area, or you can find where your reviews are housed for your convenience within your account.  

The latter is a lot easier.

How to See Your Amazon Reviews on a Browser

In order to check out, edit, delete, or find the URL for any one of your Amazon reviews, follow these simple steps:

You’ll want to start on the Amazon homepage.  Make sure you’re logged in first.

From the homepage, you’ll want to click on “(your) Amazon.com, which is located towards the top, and right in the center.

Here, you’ll find your recommended items based on previous purchases, browsing history, and other means of tracking your behavior online (but that’s for another article).

Once you enter your Amazon.com area, you’ll want to click on “Your Profile”.  

Alternatively, you can get to this same area by clicking on “Account & Lists” in the top right corner of the homepage when logged in, followed by “Your Amazon Profile” within the “Ordering and Shopping Preferences” section.

Your profile area gives you the opportunity to edit your profile picture, your public information, your location, your interests, and more.  

It’s also where you can review your activity from posts to idea lists to– you guessed it– reviews.  Your profile zone not only provides you with your actual reviews but their stats as well, such as how many were voted as helpful by other shoppers.

To access your reviews, click on “All Activity” and select “Reviews” from the drop-down.

Here, you’ll see all of the reviews that you have ever left for any of the products you have purchased within this account on Amazon.

By clicking on the three dots off to the right of any given review, you are given the option to either Edit or Delete each individual review.  This may come in handy if you wrote a rave review for a product that has since suddenly broken, or maybe you’ve come to realize the benefits of the back roller that you thought was a total waste of money.  This is also a great spot to land if your original review prompted a response from the seller who then rectified your situation.  Surely modifying your review to acknowledge how your situation was professionally handled would be extremely helpful and considerate to the seller’s line of business.

While the list here only provides snippets of each review, you choose to expand each one by clicking on “See full review”.  

This will open the individual review into its own webpage with its own URL.

The URL for the unique review can then be copied and pasted from the URL bar atop the review page. You can share this URL others, or simply save or bookmark it for your reference.

Sharing the URL to a specific review of yours is helpful when making recommendations to friends for useful products. 

How to Access Your Amazon Reviews on a Mobile Device

On Mobile, the process is similar:

Start by opening up the Amazon app.

Click on “Your Account”.

From there, scroll down to Profile (under Personalized Content).

This is that same profile area where you can change your profile picture, alter your location, showcase your interests, etc. You can view your profile in private mode, or you can even opt to see it in a public fashion “how others” see it.

From there, scroll down to the Community Activity section.

Use the drop-down to select “Reviews”.

While you can also expand individual reviews on mobile the way you can on your browser, know that you are not able to see the review’s individual URL at this stage in the process.

So, if looking to share a specific review’s URL, this is best performed on a browser.

Final Thoughts

Though they’re not staring right back at you when you log in, there are a handful of different ways you can easily access your existing reviews on Amazon.  You no longer have to ask yourself whether or not there is some easy way to access a condensed version of all of the reviews you’ve ever left.  It exists and is accessible to you at any time. 

Whether you had a change of heart about your experience with a lamp, or you want to share your well-written thoughts with a friend who’s thinking of purchasing an item you already bought, it surely comes in handy to be able to grab one when necessary.

If you are not yet getting a full rebate for the products you’re already ordering on Amazon, you are sorely losing out. From RebateKey to ExtremeRebate to topcashback, rebate portals are popping up just about everywhere as sellers strive to get their products into the right hands in our digital era. 

One such portal is FullyRebate. Using FullyRebate, sellers list a certain amount of their products that are available for purchase and then redeemable for a full rebate or 100% cash back.

How Does FullyRebate Work?

While getting fully rebated products is a no-brainer, it’s even easier to get started.

• Create an account
• Complete a purchase of any of the items featured on the site
• Take a screenshot of your order confirmation
• Provide that order number and screenshot to FullyRebate
• Earn points for items by promoting the platform on social media

That’s it. Your rebate arrives typically at the time of shipping, so, if you rush shipping, your rebate will arrive sooner than later, and vice versa. 

FullyRebate requires a certain amount of points from the user per weekly product redemption, which inspires the site’s promotion.

Do I Have to Write a Review?

No.  Reviews are typically encouraged on rebate platforms, but, if they were to require them, they would be going against Amazon’s TOS. 

Sites such as ExtremeRebate do not exactly require reviews, but they do have influential means of motivating you to leave positive reviews for your sellers.  

For one, they have a cap in place so that you cannot continue to acquire more than three products unless you have left a review. While they cannot insist that it be positive, your reviews generate a rating within the platform. If you review your sellers highly, your rating will reflect such.  Sellers are therefore more likely to want to work with you if you are likely to positively review their product(s). 

In order to continue to acquire products, then, it’s evident why you’d feel self-motivated to leave a plethora of positive reviews, no matter the actual product quality or outcome.

Competitors such as Samurai.Social set themselves apart by not even encouraging reviews. Instead, the campaigns and available partnerships on Samurai.Social are genuine, a characteristic that likely shines through in the products up for rebate.

What’s In It for the Seller?

Sellers are drawn to rebate portals because they theoretically help get products into the “right hands”. Some buyers are particularly good at promoting products of which they think highly, so, as these same buyers seek out opportunities on rebate portals, the sellers profit by being connected to those who are mostly likely to promote their product. 

Also, providing free products to consumers is an ideal way to introduce someone new to your brand at all. It’s a great way to solidify a return customer beyond the rebate potential. It’s also an effective means of driving new traffic to your Amazon store. 

What’s In It for the Buyer?

Did I mention free stuff? Obviously, the buyer makes out with either a partially or fully rebated product. The buyer also usually has no obligation to leave a review per Amazon’s TOS, so it’s a pretty simple, moral process.

The buyer also has the opportunity to check out new products they may have otherwise not taken a chance on if the product wasn’t going to be free to them.

What if I Don’t Get My Rebate?

You will! At least, you should. There have only been some instances online where users noted sellers claiming that purchases were canceled when in fact they had not been. For the most part, the portals are a safe and reliable means of acquiring cash back in exchange for a product.

Some rebate platforms use a third party to ensure that purchases occur and funds are released to the buyer once all terms have been met (I.e. no cancellation of the product purchased). Samurai.Social is one such performer of this practice. This unbiased system is a safe means of protecting both the buyer and the seller. In this case, there’s no concern on the seller’s behalf as to whether or not the buyer’s purchase went through, and the buyer can feel assured that the cash value of their product is being housed safely and it cannot be withheld by the seller for any unforeseeable issue. 

On the contrary, sites such as FullyRebate use payment systems like PayPal. While this is a safe, efficient idea, it may leave too much room for error. There is no housing of funds and it relies heavily on the seller coming through on their word following the product purchase. I suppose this is why cancellations are strictly prohibited on the site.

Is It Too Good to Be True?

Nope. It’s no different than walking past a promotional table at a festival and then telling your friends about the free bottle opener you got there and how convenient it’s been for you. Sellers are looking to introduce their products and have people talk about them positively, influencing and increasing their customer base. We live in a digital world, so look at rebate portals as this same vendor festival table, but in digital form.

Drawbacks, though minor and would vary per site, might include the lack of variety of products available and, of course, having to front payment for the product until the rebate has been released. 

Do I Have Any Other Options?

There are plenty of rebate portals with similar concepts. It all depends on how obligated or willing you feel when it comes to reviews, and sites vary by the amount of products available, the type of products available, just how much cash back can be redeemed, and what sort of regulations are in place to support both the buyers’ and sellers’ goals. 

Samurai.Social’s unique spin sprinkles the rebate concept with that of everyone online having the potential to be an influencer. Beyond Amazon, the site puts sellers in touch with consumers who are interested in partnering for more than rebated products. From social media campaigns to blog posts, the platform supports genuine partnership.  Its means of payment via escrow and its lack of pushing reviews make the platform an absolute go-to for promotional and rebate finds.

Comparisons:

SnagShout vs Jumpsend

SnagShout vs Vipon

Are you a new Amazon seller struggling to get sales?  Do you have low reviews and want to improve your review velocity? Are you thinking of using Jumpsend or Snagshout for getting more sales and reviews?

If the answer is yes, then keep reading. This article will explain everything you need to know before using any of these platforms.

You may have noticed that when you list your product on Amazon, its Ranking is not very good, which causes low to zero sales. While searching for a product, Amazon customers don’t bother to check products after the first two pages of search results since your new listing does not show in the top two pages; this is why you don’t get sales. If you manage to improve your product ranking, your product will be viewed by more customers, which will also increase your product’s sales. 

How to get more sales on Amazon?

It is clear now that you have to improve your product ranking to get more sales. Now, the most critical question is how to improve the Ranking? 

To understand this, first, we have to learn how the Amazon A9 Algorithm works and how it decides to improve a product’s Ranking. 

Amazon A9 Algorithm

In the Amazon A9 Algorithm, many factors contribute to the improvement of your product’s Ranking, but Sales Velocity is the primary game player. The logic behind this is quite simple if a product is getting more sales, this means it is a good product and customers like it; hence Amazon will improve its Ranking so that more customers can see this product and purchase it. All of this will give a better customer experience, and Amazon will also make more money. 

How to get sales for better Ranking?

There aren’t any sales already on your new product, and yet you need more sales to improve your Ranking; this may sound confusing and complex, but you don’t have to worry; we got you covered here.  For getting those initial sales, you can advertise your product at a discounted price and drive traffic/sales from other platforms to your listing. This way, your sales velocity will increase, your product’s Ranking will also get better and organic sales on Amazon will also boost.  

These are some ways used to drive the Audience to your listing and getting the initial sales:

1. Discount Website: There are many discount or rebate websites like Jumpsend, Snagshout or Vipon, RebateKey, ExtremeRebate, FullyRebate etc. which have a large number of customers visiting them regularly to find discounted products. You can advertise your product (at a discounted price) on these websites to drive sales to your listing and improve your Ranking on Amazon. This is a very easy and cost-effective method that you can use to increase your sales velocity.
2. Influencer Marketing: You can approach influencers related to your niche and ask them to advertise your product in front of their Audience; in exchange, you will have to offer them a commission. This is also an effective method, but it is very expensive and complex until you are using services like Samurai.Social.
3. Facebook Groups: There are many groups on Facebook on which sellers offer their products for free, and customers visit these groups regularly to find such deals. But this method is not much effective and does not give much improvement in the Ranking of your product.  
4. PPC: Amazon Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising is also a good option for attaining more traffic on your list. But it is expensive, and the difficulty level involved in this is also high.

The best approach is using Discount Websites (Influencer Marketing with the help of services like Samurai.Social is also a good approach, but we will discuss it in another article). 

In this article, we will discuss these two discount Websites:
1) Jumpsend (owned by Jungle Scout now)

2) Snagshout

 Jumpsend

Jumpsend is an Amazon deals site where customers regularly visit to find deals for purchasing discounted products. 

This Audience can be used by Amazon sellers who seek to improve their product ranking. For this, you have to make discount coupons and advertise your product on Jumpsend. Customers from this platform will collect those coupons and purchase your product from Amazon. This, in turn, will increase your sales velocity giving you a better ranking. As your product ranking improves, you will also start getting organic sales. You can stop the coupons whenever you want. 

Marketplaces

You can do promotion campaigns in the US & UK markets; Jumpsend has customers for these two marketplaces.

Email Campaigns

Jumpsend has been purchased by Jungle Scout (another company that offers tools/services for Amazon sellers). Since the official merging of Jumpsend in Jungle Scout, there are some new features that you can also use now.  Email campaigns are one of the most essential tools you can use to get reviews or save yourself from bad reviews. Before getting into more detail about this tool, let’s explore how many ways are there for getting reviews.

How to get reviews on Amazon?

You can use the following methods:
1) Organic Reviews: Organic way of getting reviews means that you are not doing any type of campaign to obtain reviews on Amazon. The organic review rate is 1% or even less in some cases, which means that if 100 customers purchase your product, only 1 customer will leave a review. 

2) Insert Cards: You can add some inserts in your product to ask your customers to leave a review. Inserts can also be used to give instructions about your product or help the customer to register for any warranty you may offer. 

3) Follow-Up Emails or Email Campaigns: Email campaigns are those follow-up emails that you can send to your customers who purchased your product and ask them to leave a review. You can also use these emails to send instructions for using/assembling the product or simply ask for feedback about their experience.

Insert Cards and Email campaigns are handy to boost your reviews. Email campaigns are much more straightforward and inexpensive. For the insert cards, you will need your supplier’s help to print them and put them in your product packaging, but the supplier will charge you for this service.

With Jungle Scout Email Campaigns’ help, you can send emails to all of your customers and ask them to write a review. Emails will not be sent only to those customers who purchased your product through Jumpsend but all the customers who bought your product from Amazon. Jungle Scout also has some pre-written templates which you can use for those email campaigns.

How to avoid Negative Reviews?

Some products are complex to use or require certain steps to follow, and some require assembling different parts before the customers can use them properly. Due to the complexity involved in this whole process, the customers sometimes are unable to use the product properly, which leads them to think that the product quality is not good, and due to this, they will leave a negative review. In such cases, sending emails to the customers and giving instructions about the proper way to use or assemble the product will save you from getting negative reviews. 

If you are working in such a niche, it is also recommended to use insert cards in order to give clear instructions related to the use or assembly of the product.

Getting reviews & Amazon TOS

While writing the email campaigns or insert cards for asking the customers to leave reviews, make sure to use neutral language and don’t ever ask for a positive review. Asking for positive reviews or offering a free product in exchange for a review is against Amazon TOS, and if you do that, Amazon may suspend your listing. 

If a customer purchases a product at a heavy discount, like 50% – 90% off, and then writes a review: this review will not appear as a verified review. Instead, Amazon shows it as a non-verified review.

Inventory Protection

Some customers who use your discount coupons try to purchase more than one unit from your inventory. In some extreme situations, sellers who created coupons had all of their stock wiped out within a few days, which resulted in a huge loss for them. Jungle Scout has created an inventory protection feature to avoid such a situation, enabling you to restrict the number of units a customer can purchase. 

Hijackers

Some people who purchased your product (at a heavily discounted price) from these discount websites later may try to resell it by attaching to your listing. They are called hijackers. 

Since they are not selling a counterfeit but the original product they purchased from originally you, you will not be able to knock them off from your listing. To avoid such a situation, Jungle Scout will keep track of the customers on Jumpsend, and if anyone tries to do this, they will blacklist that customer. This may not help the seller who got the hijacker issue, but this can protect future sellers from that hijacker. 

Pricing

The Pricing offered is also very economical; you can choose from any of the plans shown below. They also offer a 14 day free trial period to check if you like the service or not.

These are some great reviews about Jungle Scout & Jumpsend:

• https://jordiob.com/amazon-tools/jumpsend/

Snagshout

Snagshout is similar to Jump send. It allows you to put your product in front of their large Audience, who regularly visits their website to find discounted products.

Marketplaces

Snagshout is only available in the US. You can use it only if you are selling on Amazon.com. 

Pricing

Snagshout offers a 7-day free trial; after which you have to choose your plan from these:

Cash Back Promotion

Cash Back is a promotion in which instead of using a coupon code, the customer purchases your product at full price, and then the discount amount is sent to the customer’s PayPal or Stripe account by Snagshout. Since the customer has purchased at full price, this type of customer order creates a higher impact on your Ranking. You can also ask the customer to perform some actions to obtain the cash back. These actions are listed below:

1. Lifestyle Photo 

You can ask the customer to send a photo while using the product. 

2. Video Review 

The customer will have to make a video while using the product or explaining his thoughts about the product in the video.

3. Social Action

You can ask the customer to perform some social actions.

4. Survey Action

You ask the customer to perform a survey and provide feedback about the product.

You can use these actions to improve your product and build a social proof of your brand. 

Setting the Coupon Codes

There is no option in Snashout to limit the number of units a customer can purchase using your coupons. You will have to do this setting manually from your Seller Central. 

Here are a couple SnagShout reviews:

• https://www.amzfinder.com/blog/snagshout-review/
• https://www.sitejabber.com/reviews/snagshout.com

Conclusion

Both Jumpsend (which is part of Jungle Scout now) and Snagshout are great platforms with a large audience that you can use to improve your product’s Ranking. Now, let’s compare the difference between them:

Price: Jumpsend is much cheaper than Snagshout. 

Marketplace: Jumpsend is available in both US & UK marketplaces, while Snagshout is only available in the US. If you are selling in the UK market, then Jumpsend is more suitable for you.

Email Campaign: Snagshout does not have any feature like the email campaign. You can use another tool like feedbackwhiz.com for sending follow-up emails to your customers; however, you will have to pay separately for this service. 

Inventory Protection: Snagshout does not have an inventory protection feature to limit the number of products a customer can purchase, but you can also set this limit from your seller central account.

Hijackers: Jungle Scout team constantly monitors the customers on Jumpsend and blacklists those who try to resell the product purchased from there. Although this is not much of a help if a hijacker has already attacked you, but they are trying to resolve this issue. On the other hand, Snagshout does not have this feature.

Cash Back Promotion: Jumpsend does not have cash back promotions. The action cash back promotions are only available in Snagshout; their customer quality and cash back promotions are the features that set them apart from the other discount websites. If you want to establish social proof of your brand or create more brand awareness, then Snagshout is the best option for you.

Are you an Amazon seller looking to drive sales? Considering to Vipon or Snagshout to help? If yes, then you should know that after listing your product on Amazon, the customers will not start purchasing.

Why do I say this?

The answer is that most of the customers, when searching for a product on Amazon, don’t go beyond the first and second page of the search result. On the other side when your product becomes live on Amazon, it is not even close to the first two pages. Due to this, those customers are not able to see your product and hence make a purchase. In short, to get discovered by the customers and sell your product, you have to rank it to the top. The better the ranking, the more your product will be seen by the customers, and the higher are the chances to get more sales.

How to Rank on Amazon?

The primary goal of Amazon is to provide a fantastic customer experience and to make money. For doing this, they award the products that sell well by giving them a higher product ranking so that more customers can purchase them. In other words, the core factor in obtaining a better ranking on Amazon is having a high sales velocity.

Since you are not getting enough sales organically, you will now have to get sales artificially to improve your sales velocity. To get these artificial sales, you can offer your product on discount websites that have a large customer base who regularly visit those websites and make purchases from them.

How the discount website work?

You create discount coupons for your product and then advertise it at the discounted price on those discount websites. Customers from that particular website will use that coupon to purchase your product from Amazon; this way, you will have a better sales velocity, improving your ranking.

In this article, you will learn about two famous discount websites and the difference between them. These websites (as you may already have guessed from the title) are:

1.       Vipon

2.       Snagshout

There are many similar services like ExtremeRebate, Samurai.Social, FullyRebate etc 

Vipon

Vipon has a vast audience, and its customer engagement is also good. This audience regularly visits to find new deals and make a purchase.

Marketplaces

Vipon has shoppers not only from the United States (amazon.com) but  from these other marketplaces too:

·          UK (amazon.co.uk) 

·          Canada (amazon.ca) 

·          Germany (amazon.de) 

·          France (amazon.fr) 

·          Japan (amazon.co.jp) 

·          Italy (amazon.it) 

·          Spain (amazon.es)

·          India (amazon.in)

Pricing

Advertising your products on Vipon is not free, and you have to pay their monthly fee. Their monthly plans start from a minimum of $100 & $200, which is ideal for a new seller.

Once subscribed, you will be charged every month. If you don’t want to be charged automatically, you will have to cancel the subscription.

Promotion Code

You have to offer at least a 50% discount promotion for using Vipon. This is because they want more customers to get attracted and purchase your product.

Advertisement types

Apart from the regular deals, Vipon offers two more advertising types for you: Banner and Featured Deals

1.       Banner

The banner advertising type shows on the top of the Vipon Homepage. You don’t have any minimum discount requirement to advertise here and it is not limited to Amazon products only. However, they charge $1000 for 4 days of banner advertisement.

2.       Featured Deals

Featured deals are also pinned to the homepage on Vipon, but the duration is of one day only, and the charges for this are $200 if you are a paid member (US site) and $300 if you are a regular seller (US site).

Here are a couple great Vipon reviews:

• https://www.sitejabber.com/reviews/vipon.com

Snagshout

Snagshout also gives you the benefit of putting your product in front of their large audience.

Marketplaces

Snagshout is only available in the US. You can use it only if you are selling on Amazon.com.

Pricing

Snagshout offers a 7-day free trial; after which you have to choose your plan from these:

Promotion Code

The promotion code on Snagshout should be at least 20% off. Apart from the discount coupons, you can also offer cash back.

Cash Back Promotion

Cash Back is a promotion in which instead of using a coupon code, the customer purchases your product at full price, and then the discount amount is sent to the customer’s PayPal or Stripe account by Snagshout. Since the customer has purchased at full price, this type of customer order creates a higher impact on your ranking. You can also ask the customer to perform some actions to obtain the cash back. These actions are listed below:

1.       Lifestyle Photo

You can ask the customer to send a photo while using the product.

2.       Video Review

The customer will have to make a video while using the product or explaining his thoughts about the product in the video.

3.       Social Action

You can ask the customer to perform some social actions.

4.       Survey Action

You ask the customer to perform a survey and provide feedback about the product.

You can use these actions to improve your product and build social proof of your brand.

Setting the Coupon Codes

While creating your coupon codes for any of these platforms, make sure that one code can only be used to make only one purchase. Otherwise, they will be able to purchase your heavily discounted product multiple times, due to which you may run out of stock without making any profit from those sales.

Here are a couple SnagShout reviews:

• https://www.amzfinder.com/blog/snagshout-review/
• https://www.sitejabber.com/reviews/snagshout.com

Conclusion

Both Vipon and Snagshout are legit and great platforms to use for improving your ranking.

Snagshout is only limited to the US, and if you are selling in some other marketplace, then Vipon is the better option for you. Vipon has a very largest customer base that can be used to get sales quickly, but you have to offer your product at a heavily discounted price in order to use Vipon.

If you are a US seller, then why not use the trial period of Snagshout and see if it is beneficial for you or not. Snagshout has better customer quality, and their action cashback promotions can build social proof and create more awareness about your product.
