Amazon consumer electronics summit in seattle

Last week, the SellerEngine team, including Ioan, the founder of SellerEngine, visited Seattle. We were there to take part in the 2013 Amazon Consumer Electronics Summit.

The Summit was put on by the project managers from Amazon. They invited the top 200 sellers in the consumer electronics category for two days of discussion, networking and learning.

We were very excited to take part in this invite-only event and to introduce our software and services to Amazon sellers from all over.

Amazon Insights

Amazon ODR 2005-2013Keynote addresses and presentations by Amazon product managers and executives provided some fascinating statistics:

The Future of Selling on Amazon

The future looks bright! The sellers we talked to all felt confident that Amazon would remain a huge part of their business for years to come.

But that doesn’t mean that there won’t be any changes.

International expansion was a hot topic at the summit. Amazon themselves was pushing expansion into Canada, but we feel that the Japan and the UK present huge opportunities for sales growth.

Also discussed at the summit was the topic of promotions and sponsored products. Sponsored product ads allow you to promote the items you sell on Amazon on Amazon itself. You’ll target specific keywords similar to GoogleAds. These could be an excellent way to get your products and offers in front of more shoppers than ever before.

Lessons from Successful Sellers?

A huge part of the summit was spending time with many of the most successful sellers on Amazon. Here are a few tips we picked up from them:

See you next year!

We hope we’ll see you at the summit next year! And don’t forget about other conferences and events, like the Seller’s Conference for Online Entrepreneurs (SCOE) in Seattle at the end of May.

Are there are other conferences or trade shows that you attend? Let us know! We love to travel and would love to connect with more of the Amazon community in person!
