Transcript
00:00Today, we're diving into a small but seriously powerful tool on Amazon.
00:04It's a little blue badge that can make a huge difference in your sales to business customers.
00:09Let's get right into it.
00:10So this is the big question, right?
00:12You're out there, you've got amazing products, but the marketplace is packed.
00:16How do you get those high-value business buyers, the ones who buy in bulk,
00:20the ones who come back again and again, to notice you?
00:23You need a signal, something that cuts through the noise.
00:25And just how powerful is that signal?
00:27Well, get this, products that have this one little feature are three times more likely to be bought by B2B buyers.
00:33That's not a small increase, that's a genuine game-changer for your entire business-to-business strategy.
00:39So what is this magic feature?
00:41It's called the Amazon Business Blue Savings Badge.
00:45And honestly, the best way to think about it is as a magnet.
00:48A magnet that's specifically designed to pull in those business customers you want.
00:52So what is it exactly?
00:54It's really simple.
00:55It's just a little blue tag that pops up on a product listing, and it'll say something like,
00:59Save 5%.
01:00Its entire job is to scream,
01:02Hey, business buyer, over here, there's a special deal just for you.
01:05And the best part?
01:07This badge gives you some serious prime real estate.
01:10It's not just hiding on your product page.
01:12Nope.
01:12It shows up right in the search results.
01:15It gets featured on the Amazon Business homepage,
01:17and it pops up on all the savings-related pages.
01:20It puts you front and center, right where those B2B buyers are looking.
01:24All right, so you're probably thinking,
01:26Okay, I'm sold.
01:27I want this sales magnet.
01:29How do I get it?
01:30Well, it's not random.
01:31It really comes down to meeting three specific requirements.
01:34Let's walk through your checklist right now.
01:36These are the three big ones, the non-negotiables.
01:38You absolutely have to have a professional seller account.
01:41You need to offer a business-specific discount.
01:43And your product has to have a good rating.
01:45Let's break each of those down.
01:47First things first, and this one's a deal breaker.
01:50This badge is only for sellers on the professional plan.
01:52If you're on an individual account, you just won't be eligible.
01:56So that's step one.
01:57Make sure you have a professional account.
01:59Okay, next up, the discount.
02:01And here's the cool part.
02:02You've got options.
02:03You can either offer a single unit price that's at least 5% cheaper for business customers,
02:08or you can set up a quantity discount,
02:10where the first tier, say, buying 10 or more, gets at least a 3% discount.
02:15You just need one or the other to qualify.
02:16And the final key to unlocking this thing is all about trust.
02:21Your product has to have an average customer rating of 4.0 stars or higher.
02:25A 3.9, a 3.8, that won't cut it.
02:28Amazon wants to make sure it's highlighting really good, trusted products for its business shoppers,
02:33so that 4-star rating is a hard line.
02:35Now, even when you do everything right, you can run into some confusing situations.
02:40So let's talk about troubleshooting.
02:42We're going to go through some of the most common questions and frustrations sellers have with this badge.
02:48This might be the number one thing people ask.
02:50You log into Seller Central, it tells you you're eligible, you're excited,
02:54then you go to your actual product page on Amazon, and poof, nothing.
02:58The badge isn't there.
03:00So what is going on?
03:01Here's the most important thing to get.
03:03That little panel in Seller Central is just a preliminary check.
03:06It's not a guarantee.
03:07The badge appearing live depends on a bunch of real-time factors.
03:10And crucially, that panel doesn't even check for quantity discount eligibility.
03:14So you always, always have to check the live site to know for sure.
03:18Okay, here's another head scratcher you might run into.
03:21You see the badge on your listing.
03:22Awesome.
03:23But it's only showing for your quantity discount, not your single unit price.
03:26Why would Amazon pick one over the other?
03:29This little table explains the logic perfectly.
03:31The system is just looking for any eligible discount.
03:35So in this case, your single unit discount is only 4%.
03:38That's not enough.
03:39But your quantity discount is 3%, which hits the minimum.
03:42So the system just says, great, we found one that qualifies.
03:45And it awards the badge for that one.
03:47Now, this next point is absolutely crucial, especially for anyone selling products with
03:52variations like different colors or sizes.
03:55The badge is applied at the individual ASIN level, not to the parent product as a whole.
04:01So what does that actually mean?
04:02Let's make it super clear with this t-shirt example.
04:05Let's say your red and green t-shirts have awesome ratings.
04:08They're eligible.
04:09They get the badge.
04:10But maybe the blue t-shirt has a lower rating, say 3.8 stars.
04:14Well, that blue one will not get the badge.
04:17Even though it's all part of the same product listing, each individual variation, each ASIN,
04:22is judged on its own.
04:23Okay, we've covered a lot of ground.
04:26We know what the badge is, how to get it, and what to do when things get weird.
04:29So let's put it all together into a simple, clear action plan you can use to get this done today.
04:34Here it is, your four-step checklist.
04:36Number one, confirm you're on a professional account.
04:39Two, set up that discount.
04:41Either 5% on a single item or 3% on a quantity tier.
04:44Three, make sure your product's rating is four stars or higher.
04:47And four, super important, check every single variation, every ASIN individually.
04:52Look, at the end of the day, this is all about taking action.
04:57It's a direct path to getting more eyes on your products and making more sales.
05:01So the only question left for you is this.
05:03Which one of your products are you going to get this B2B sales magnet for first?
