As a valued member of the Amazon Associates program, we would like to introduce to you our newest product – “aStore by Amazon.” aStore vastly expands on our current link type offerings by giving you the ability to build a dedicated shopping area that can be embedded within, or linked to from, your website. Visit our demo store to see an example of a stand-alone store.
Build your own professional online store featuring Amazon.com products in minutes with no programming skills required. Because aStore is a dedicated shopping area for your site, it is a great complimentary product for your existing Amazon product links. Visitors to your site get a professional shopping experience through your unique selection of products and categories and the features of Amazon.com you have chosen including Customer Reviews, Listmania, and more. The checkout process is completed through Amazon.com.
Our beta is now available. Please visit Associates Central today to build your aStore! As you experiment with the tool we would love to hear your feedback, good and bad. Just send an email to associates-beta@amazon.com with your comments.
While you're visiting Associates Central, check out the new Omakase Beta link type. Omakase combines flexible display options with links that automatically feature products that visitors to the page are most likely to buy based on what the Associate has been successful with in the past, what that user has been interested in, and the content of the site. Omakase - leave it up to us!
Thank you for your continued support of the Amazon Associates Program!
Sincerely,
The Amazon Associates Team |
So.. It so happened that I tried it. And I must say it looks far more promising that any of the other methods of promoting Amazon products.
Currently you can setup only one store, that is quite an hindrance for some of us who have multiple websites appealing to very varied audiences. However, I am sure me and many others will lobby to get them introduce multiple store options.
I must confess, I've never sold anything off Amazon as an affiliate, but then I haven't tried hard. Simply because I wasn't happy with the tools they were providing their Associates.
This looks like a good feature. Will work on a custom store of my site and publish/promote it soon.
