Vipon vs Snagshout
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

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.

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.
