Background

Amazon employs categories to classify its products. Categorizing your products is a crucial part of creating an Amazon listing. The category is utilized to guarantee that customers can easily locate your product when conducting searches on Amazon. Given that a significant number of product searches are initiated on Amazon and search is the primary method by which shoppers discover products, Amazon categories hold immense significance.

 

The beauty brand launched on Amazon in 2021. By April 2022, the client partnered with Bellavix to grow their business on the eCommerce platform.
