If you missed out on Amazon Accelerate 2024, don’t worry—we’ve got you covered! The event, held from September 17-19 in Seattle, brought together Amazon sellers, industry leaders, and innovators from around the world.
This year's Accelerate was packed with exciting announcements, including major AI updates, new seller tools, and expanded logistics options, all designed to help sellers grow their businesses on Amazon.
Here are the key highlights and takeaways that we got from the event!
One of the most talked-about updates was Amazon’s focus on AI tools to help sellers automate various aspects of their operations. Project Amelia, Amazon's new AI assistant, was a major highlight. This AI tool helps with inventory management, demand forecasting, and even account health monitoring.
With AI handling these tasks, sellers can save time and focus on scaling their businesses. An Amazon VA can also come in handy since they can work alongside this AI assistant to manage daily operations and ensure you get the most out of these tools.
In addition to Project Amelia, Amazon also introduced an AI-powered video ad generator. This tool lets sellers quickly create high-quality, professional video ads without needing a big budget. Even smaller brands can now level up their marketing efforts without spending too much time or money.
Fulfillment updates were a major focus this year, and the improvements to Buy with Prime (BWP) stood out. Now integrated with platforms like TikTok, Shopify, and PayPal, BWP allows sellers to offer Prime benefits directly on their own sites. This is a huge advantage for those wanting to boost customer satisfaction and loyalty. An Amazon VA can handle the integration and ongoing management, ensuring a seamless experience for your customers.
Amazon also enhancedMulti-Channel Fulfillment (MCF) by improving standard shipping speeds by 40%. This helps sellers offer quicker deliveries without additional costs. With an Amazon VA managing your orders and logistics, you can ensure your customers get their products faster and leave glowing reviews.
Moreover, Amazon is expanding its Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) services. New capabilities include a fully managed supply chain solution, allowing third-party sellers to outsource everything from manufacturing to global customer delivery. This is perfect for sellers looking to scale without managing every logistical detail
Sustainability is becoming increasingly important in ecommerce, and Amazon made strides in this area with new programs like FBA Grade & Resell and FBA Liquidations. These programs help sellers manage unsold inventory in a way that’s both cost-effective and environmentally friendly. Amazon also introduced theVeeqo Profit Analyzer, which allows sellers to track their profitability in real-time.
By working with an Amazon VA, you can easily incorporate these sustainable practices into your business operations, helping you reduce costs and improve profitability. You can also focus on using these insights to grow your business more efficiently.
Amazon continues to enhance personalization with updates to product listings. New AI-driven features help generate more relevant product titles, descriptions, and bullet points tailored to customer preferences, boosting conversions and improving the shopping experience. Additionally, Amazon’s Customer Journey Analytics Tool lets sellers track a customer's path from interest to conversion, providing more advanced audience segmentation and promotional opportunities.
Staying on top of these innovations can feel overwhelming, but that’s where an Amazon VA (Virtual Assistant) from VAA Philippines comes in. VAA Philippines attended Amazon Accelerate 2024, gaining firsthand knowledge of these new tools and updates. Our trained Amazon VAs are ready to help you integrate these AI tools, optimize fulfillment strategies, and implement sustainable practices in your business. Whether you need assistance with inventory management, personalized marketing, or customer insights, an Amazon VA can handle it all.
