YES, that's all for now.

Just kidding!

So, you're wondering whether Amazon Premium A+ Content is worth it. I get it; if you've already put in the effort to create A+ designs, you're probably wondering what the next level offers. Well, upgrading to Premium A+ isn't just a minor step up— it's like unlocking a VIP pass to a world of rich, high-quality features. Imagine all the bells and whistles that make your product pages pop even more!

The best part? It integrates seamlessly with your existing A+ Content interface, so you can still work with your familiar setup while playing with all the new premium tools. Whether creating more engaging visuals or adding interactive elements, Premium A+ allows you to do both A+ and Premium listings.

And if you're worried about the transition being a hassle, don't be! A professional designer (like me) can help you navigate the upgrade, making it as smooth as possible. They'll make sure you get the most out of all those extra features, making your products stand out even more.

So, is it worth it? Absolutely! It's like upgrading from a regular sedan to a luxury sports car— totally worth the upgrade!

Is Amazon A+ Premium Content Expensive?

When Amazon made A+ Premium available to all qualified sellers, it began offering the normally expensive service free of charge. Before the current promotion, vendors had to pay thousands of dollars for A+ Premium. The end date of the promotion has not been announced. If Amazon decides to charge a fee in the future, you will have an opportunity to opt into the new fee structure.

If you choose not to opt in, Amazon will not charge you for your existing Premium A+ Content. However, you will likely lose the ability to add A+ Premium features to new listings.

‍
‍

Am I Eligible for Amazon Premium A+ Content?

The good news is that A+ Premium is available for all qualified sellers, with no invitation necessary. If you are a seller enrolled in the Brand Registry, you are eligible for Amazon A+ Premium Content if you meet the following requirements:

  • All of your ASINs have published an A+ Brand Story. Log in to the Content Manager to find your published projects and check the detail page to find the A+ Content Brand Story.
    ‍
  • Have at least 15 A+ Content submissions approved within the past 12 months. Meeting this requirement proves that you are adhering to content guidelines.

Benefits of Amazon Premium A+ Content Design

There are many advantages to using Amazon Premium A+ Content design. If you want to create eye-catching, memorable listings with a variety of image, video, and text modules, interactive comparison tables and Q&A modules make it easy for users to find information about your products.

Amazon A+ Premium Content includes shoppable comparison table modules that let customers see key product features, prices, and other information at a glance. A comparison table helps provide a more accurate representation of your product or service. Customers can easily access product information and make informed purchase decisions. If a certain item catches their eye, a user can even click through to the product from the comparison table and make a purchase.

Navigation Carousel

Q&A Module

Visitors to your listings can learn about your brand so they can choose the right product or service for their needs.
‍

Increase Engagement

With Amazon Premium A+ Content, you can add interactive modules to your listing. For example, Hotspot modules include clickable images that let customers learn more about your products and services. Make your product features more memorable by engaging customers from the start.
