3月17日的节日营销,别人的Best seller 使我眼红
最近亚马逊在刷评方面的重拳打击让很多卖家风声鹤唳,犹如惊弓之鸟,但也有卖家无知无畏,依然刷个不停。虽然产品评论在影响Listing排名和销量方面确实可以起到很大的作用,但从长远的角度来看,只要用心运营,即便一单不刷,也是可以运营起来的。
当排队时,前边有长长的队伍,后面还有很多人,自己夹在中间,如果大家都有序前进,排在队伍中的你心情虽然会着急但一般也不致于气急败坏,但如果某个人插队了,你可能会觉得那个人素质不行,心生嫌弃,如果很多人都在插队,你的心态就会变化了,于是自己也去插队了。其实,即便不插队,队伍也肯定会持续往前的,你离目标也肯定可以越来越近的,反而插队的人,随时可能受到保安的斥责。
刷单也是如此,不刷单也同样可以取得运营上的成功,不要被太多的外部因素干扰而乱了阵脚。
收到读者的咨询,从事业单位辞职进入亚马逊,钱没赚到多少,账号却因为“操纵产品评论”而被关闭,原因是自己“刷单过多,一个号一天上80个直评”。
遇到这种情况,我确实心疼这位读者当前的遭遇,谁都想向好的方向发展,只是因为经验和认知的不足,做了误判,花了钱却遭遇到糟糕的结果。但遇到这种情况时,很多卖家是脑子里一片空眼前一片懵,不知道该怎么做或者什么也不做肯定不行,只有有针对性的申诉和应对才是解决问题的基本方针。
下面是卖家账号受限时收到的通知邮件:
Hello,
We understand that you have used multiple accounts to manipulate Amazon customer reviews. Sellers are not allowed to manipulate ratings, feedback, or customer reviews. Because you are manipulating product reviews, you currently may not sell on Amazon.com.
Funds will not be transferred to you but will stay in your account while we work with you to address this issue. If you have any open orders, please ship them.
Violations of our policies may also violate state and federal laws, including the Federal Trade Commission Act. Amazon strives to maintain customer trust and provide the best possible shopping experience. As a result, we will investigate when we learn that sellers, vendors, or others have attempted to manipulate reviews.
To learn more about this policy, search for "Prohibited Seller Activities and Actions" in Seller Central Help.
To appeal, please reply to this message with the following information:
- A detailed description with dates of all methods you used to post or obtain customer reviews that are prohibited by Amazon policies, or otherwise manipulate reviews.
- Contact information (name, email address, website, etc.) for any third parties you engaged to manipulate reviews or obtain prohibited reviews.
- Identifying information for any customer accounts you or a third party used to post prohibited reviews.
- Documentation (e.g., emails and receipts) from any such third party confirming you used their service.
- List of any prohibited reviews remaining on the Amazon site.
- Description of steps you have taken to prevent product review manipulation within your organization and how this will prevent future violations.
Once we receive your plan, we will review it and decide whether you may sell on Amazon.com again. If you do not send an acceptable plan within 17 days, we may cancel your listings and hold any funds in your account for about 90 days, but funds could be held longer.
For help creating your plan, search for "Appeal the restriction or removal of selling privileges" in Seller Central Help.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Seller Performance Team
在通知中,亚马逊指出,“由于你操纵产品评论,你目前可能无法在亚马逊上销售,资金暂时也不会转移给你,直到我们解决了账号中的遗留问题之后”,但在通知的后面部分,亚马逊指出,如果你想重新在亚马逊上销售,请提供你获取客户评论的所有方法的详细说明,协助你留评论的第三方的联系信息(姓名,电子邮件地址,网站等),留评论的客户信息和评论列表,以及一份解释未来如何防止此种情况再发生的详细计划等,亚马逊系统将根据你所提供的计划决定你是否可以重新销售。
我觉得收到这样的通知邮件是一种幸运,相比2.14封号事件中的那些卖家的遭遇,收到这封邮件的卖家显然多了申诉的机会,而且,基于这封邮件通知而申诉成功的案例大有人在。亚马逊在这封通知模板里为卖家留了账号解限的空间,即你提供真实的刷单信息并作出详细、深刻、诚恳的保证和计划,我给你重新销售的机会。
经常看美剧的读者应该有感触,一些案件的当事人虽然犯了法,但当事人如果能够提供有价值的线索,FBI往往会免去当事人承担的罪责,让其重新获得作为平凡人的生活。亚马逊的这封通知邮件,很有类似的意味。
但很多卖家往往在收到这类通知邮件时,首先不是反思、思考和撰写改善计划,而是到处求助“有模板没”。
针对这种情况的申诉,卖家一定要认真对待。
第一,列举刷单的单号和客户信息是必须的,如果少量自然可以全部罗列,如果刷单量大,也不要逐一罗列,列举一部分即可;
第二,一定不要狡辩,要承认错误,要态度诚恳,英语水平可以不高,但态度不能不真诚;
第三,改善计划一定要详细、有说服力,不要泛泛而谈,也不要长篇大论说一大堆的琐碎语言,既要针对性很强又要突出重点。
具体的申诉邮件的写法,感兴趣的读者可以翻阅我之前写的关于五段式的账号申诉邮件写法做参考。(点击即可查看文章:申诉邮件怎么写才够味?--从Generic事件申诉成功案例说起)
当申诉邮件发出后,卖家要留意,如果2天之内没有收到亚马逊的回复,那么一定要跟进一下,毕竟,亚马逊有一个工作理念:Day One,一般来说,他们会要求在第一天处理完手头上的事情,可看了你的申诉却没有搭理你,说明你的申诉失败了,反思、补充,重新申诉。
