This 20-Week Amazon FBA Launch Framework is designed to guide private label brand owners and DTC businesses through a structured, step-by-step journey – from product validation to scaling profitability. Use this checklist to ensure no critical step is missed when preparing your next Amazon FBA product launch.
Validate product opportunities with demand analysis, keyword depth, and competitor
review-gap mapping.
Define voice, visuals, packaging, and tone to ensure consistent branding across
listings and storefront.
Develop keyword maps and optimize titles, bullets, and backend terms for indexing and ranking.
Vet multiple manufacturers, test samples for durability and compliance, and negotiate MOQ, costing, and customization. Lock specs to directly address competitor weaknesses.
Set QC protocols (AQL checks, FNSKU compliance, packaging validation). Monitor factory output with real-time approvals to ensure Amazon-ready inventory.
Plan hybrid logistics (air/sea), manage cartonization, and ensure labeling compliance. Stagger shipments to support velocity while avoiding stockouts.
Craft titles and bullets around benefits, not just features. Deploy pro photography, comparison charts, and A+ content designed to maximize CTR and CVR.
Implement launch coupons or discounts for velocity, then ladder pricing toward stable margins. Define breakeven ACOS to control ad scaling decisions.
Build week-by-week sales and inventory models with reorder triggers aligned to rank and TACOS goals. Prevent stockouts during momentum phases.
Run Auto, Exact, and Competitor Targeting campaigns at launch. Focus early on long-tail efficiency, then expand into broader keywords as reviews strengthen.
Use Amazon Vine and βRequest a Reviewβ automation to seed compliant early feedback. Monitor CX signals and adapt inserts/FAQs to reduce friction.
Iterate weekly on bids, negatives, and placement strategy. Refresh content via SQP data, optimize pricing, and scale ad spend while TACOS trends downward.
Audit listings for compliance, monitor suppressions, and track inventory health. Safeguard momentum by preempting policy and operational risks.
A free consultation costs you nothing but every day of trial & error on Amazon could be costing you $$$ in wasted ad spend, missed sales, and lost market share. We onboard a limited number of new brands each month to maintain focus and results. Availability is first-come, first-served.
