What is a Bestseller Award?

A new bestseller award is prepared every week at Stacvalley. This is no coincidence. The aim behind this award is to make outstanding achievements visible. The award always goes to the product that achieves the highest sales in its category on Amazon Germany as a whole. This means that anyone who receives the Bestseller Award is at the top of the market with their product range.

This award is presented weekly and last year alone at least 52 products from various retailers were honored. A real seal of quality! For retailers, the Bestseller Award not only means recognition among colleagues, but also an important leap of faith towards new prospective customers. Customers pay attention to the bestseller status and prefer products that others already trust.

The result: a bestseller product sells faster, generates more sales and gains visibility. Products with this status are often at the top of the search results and thus gain further market share.

In this article, we take a look at exactly what these products have in common so that you too can significantly improve your chances of winning a bestseller award.

The 3 most important features of successful bestseller products

Hardly any product is a bestseller by chance. On closer inspection, there are three things that almost all award-winning products have in common:

• The product itself is unique and well thought out
• The marketing is high-quality and emotional
• The retailers are truly committed to Amazon

What do these three factors look like in practice and how can you derive concrete measures for your own store?

1. unique and well thought-out product

The biggest mistake many retailers make is to simply sell the umpteenth model of a well-known product. Whether it's kitchen gadgets, sports accessories or electronics - products that are merely copies without any real improvements are lost to the competition. The customer base and ratings of established providers are too large to overtake them straight away.

Instead, bestseller products are characterized by clear differences to their competitors. For which areas are these differences particularly often decisive?

• New and better functions: Anyone who develops real innovations or improves even small details stands out.
• More attractive price: A cheaper or particularly fairly calculated offer can play a decisive role as long as the quality is right.
• Target group-specific customization: Successful products pick up their buyers where their specific needs lie. A clever example: a product designed specifically for left-handers can dominate a niche, even if the function already exists.
• Improved durability, materials or handling: such details also often ensure positive differentiation.

Why are pure copies not enough?
Products that are merely copied make it almost impossible to reach established listings. Amazon customers rely heavily on reviews, sales and the images of the first results. Those who do not offer a clear improvement remain stuck in the midfield.

This is how you find the special features of your product:

• Analyze the reviews of the competition: Where are there many complaints?
• Think about how small changes can bring great added value
• Find niches and target groups that have so far received little attention
• Test several variants and ask potential users
• If possible, even develop your own patent or exclusive extra

Conclusion: A unique, well thought-out product is always the cornerstone. If you make an effort right from the start, you will save a lot of advertising budget and nerves later on.

2. high-quality and emotional marketing

A top product alone is not enough. A bestseller only really takes off with convincing marketing. The most successful retailers invest heavily in appealing, emotional presentations.

The days of simply uploading a few photos are over. Today, it's all about captivating customers with creative images, videos and listings. Particularly emotional images that show the product in everyday life (e.g. at barbecues, fitness in the park or in the children's room) stay in people's minds.

This is what characterizes effective Amazon marketing:

• A cover image with an eye-catcher: this ensures that the product is immediately noticed in the search.
• Emotional appeal: The photos show real application and trigger a feeling that suits the target group.
• Listing texts that offer real added value: Instead of repeating details, real customer questions and pain points are addressed.
• Storytelling: Good product pages tell what the product stands for and why it should be this particular model.
• Variety and new image ideas: Instead of doing everything like the competition, different angles and designs are chosen.
• Regular updates: Listings are constantly optimized with new information, images or bullet points.
• Videos: Short clips that show the product "in action" create trust and increase the likelihood of purchase.

This is how you can take your marketing to the next level:

1. Develop a concept of how your product will look in real life.
2. Invest in professional product photos and videos that evoke emotions.
3. Regularly adapt your listing texts to the words of your target group.
4. Answer all important questions from potential buyers directly in the listing.
5. Show testimonials or real social proof if possible.
6. Use A+ content to provide additional information and comparisons.
7. Always have fresh images or graphics created.

This is where Stacvalley can help as an experienced agency for Amazon photos, videos, listings and 3D renderings. With individual advice and customized solutions, every retailer can take their presentation to a whole new level.

3. commitment and genuine obsession with Amazon

Another often underestimated characteristic of bestselling retailers is their extreme focus: successful sellers never settle for half measures. Their effort is not comparable to that of hobby sellers.

Important characteristics of successful traders:

• Careful preparation: You don't just order one or two samples, but test 6 to 9 different versions from several manufacturers.
• Practical checks: Each product is tested under real conditions. The final products are only selected after extensive tests and comparisons.
• Detailed analysis: You know the reviews of your competitors in detail and know exactly which features or characteristics are not (yet) well received by customers.
• Continuous development: The work does not end with the launch. Existing products are regularly updated or even replaced.

While some retailers just "test it out" to see if it works, real bestsellers live and breathe everyday life on Amazon. They take feedback seriously, react quickly to trends and shortcomings and always go the extra mile. This consistency pays off:

Products that are managed by such retailers often achieve sales of 20,000 to 30,000 euros per month - while simple products remain at 10,000 euros. Visibility increases, rankings improve and the product attracts new buyers like a magnet.

Best practices: How to develop your own bestseller plan

The three success factors can be translated into a clear workflow. If you really want to get started on Amazon, you should take the following steps to heart:

1. Market research & validate ideas:Analyze the competition, study customer reviews, identify gaps or neglected target groups.
2. Develop and test prototypes:Have several samples produced, test them in everyday life or with test groups.
3. Create professional marketing assets:Work with experts for product images, videos and Amazon listings.
4. Optimize & regularly revise listing:Update texts and graphics. Use creative solutions and A/B tests.
5. Evaluate customer reviews and feedback:Note what customers appreciate or dislike. Optimize in a targeted manner.
6. Consistent further development and scaling:Remain open to adjustments, continuously introduce improvements - not just at the next product launch.

If you would like support with implementation, you can fall back on specialized service providers such as Stacvalley for professional Amazon marketing strategies.
