Featured Sponsor of the Week | The fasted way to get UGC for your Amazon listings - without the ghosting
The problem isn't finding creators — it's finding ones who actually deliver. Slow responses, inconsistent quality, and creators who disappear mid-campaign eat into margins and delay launches.
Insense gives Amazon sellers access to 80,000+ vetted creators with verified track records — post your brief, get applications in 48 hours, and have lifetime content usage rights. Every collaboration is backed by a money-back guarantee if a creator doesn't deliver. Malouf ran creator-led Spark Ads and saw 100%+ growth in Amazon product and brand searches while hitting their lowest CPMs of the year. Bones Coffee produced 54 UGC ads in 3 months and hit a 2.16 ROAS.

| | Prime Day 2026 Closed at $26.3 Billion. Day 1 Alone Hit $8.3 Billion. But the Average Order Fell to $47 and That Should Change Your Q3 Plan. Adobe's final read: $26.3 billion over four days, up 9% year over year. Day 1 set a 2026 US e-commerce record at $8.3 billion. But average order size dropped to $47.66 from $53.34, 69% of items sold for under $20, and top sellers were protein shakes, electrolyte packets, and cat treats. Shoppers showed up and traded down. Premium and discretionary sellers who benchmarked Q3 expectations against Prime Day volume need to revisit the margin assumptions. The pie is bigger. The slices are smaller. numerator.com

| Amazon unveils new AI-powered tools to help sellers launch more winning products with greater speed. Amazon updated Opportunity Explorer with AI capabilities that scan billions of customer searches, clicks, and purchases to surface which product features matter most, where demand is trending, and what buyers expect to pay. What used to take weeks of manual keyword research now takes minutes. The tool is free inside Seller Central and is the best way to identify a new launch with data Amazon has that no third-party tool can match. If you have a product launch decision pending for Q4, run it through Opportunity Explorer before you commit to inventory. The AI's demand signal is more current than anything you can build from external research. aboutamazon.com

| | One Prompt in Claude Pauses Every Keyword Burning Budget With Zero Conversions Across Your Entire Account. Here Is the Exact Amazon Ads MCP Workflow. Amazon's Ads MCP Server entered open beta February 2. Connect it to Claude and type: "Find every exact-match keyword that spent over $100 last month with zero sales and pause them." It executes in seconds. A beauty brand using this workflow dropped ACoS 12% in Q1 and cut manual reporting from 8 hours to 45 minutes weekly. The same setup lets Claude identify keywords where your sponsored CTR beats the top organic result - then increase placement modifiers on those terms automatically. If you manage more than 20 ASINs manually, this is the highest-ROI hour you will spend this week. Set it up today. stormy.ai | | |

| | | Mobile Hit 51% of Prime Day Sales for the First Time Ever. If Your Listings Are Not Built for a Phone Screen, You Gave Away Half Your Event.
Day 1 of Prime Day 2026 set an all-time mobile record: 51.2% of US online sales ($4.24 billion) came from phones. Shoppers on mobile read the first two bullet points, look at the main image, and check the price. They do not read A+ Content. If your title front-loads the brand name instead of the use case, your first bullet is a paragraph instead of a punchy feature line, or your main image does not communicate the product at thumbnail size you lost half your Prime Day audience before they scrolled. Audit your top five ASINs for mobile today and fix what breaks on a small screen. smartscout.com | | |

| Prime Day's Shopping Peak Has Shifted to the Morning. Sellers Who Dayparted for Evening in 2025 Left Money on the Table This Year. PMG's hourly data shows midnight-to-8am captured 25.2% of Prime Day 2026 sales — up from 23.1% in 2025. The 4pm-to-midnight window, traditionally the strongest block, fell to 33% from 34.6%. The likely cause: World Cup evening matches pulled attention away from shopping. For Prime Big Deal Days in October and future events, the lesson is to front-load your budget toward the early-morning window rather than concentrating it at prime-time. Start adjusting your dayparting templates now so the data informs your next event, not the one after that. pmg.com | | |
