Overview

Episode 517 of the Helium 10 podcast gathered the hosts of the German‑language and Spanish‑language shows to discuss real‑world Amazon seller triumphs from Germany, Brazil, Mexico, Colombia and other Latin‑American markets. Recorded this week, the discussion highlighted practical tactics for expanding revenue, handling regional marketplace quirks, and preparing for international growth. Sellers aiming to move beyond their domestic Amazon store will find the insights directly applicable to their own expansion plans.

Key Points

• Cross‑border listing launch — A German electronics vendor demonstrated that creating a Spanish‑language product page on Amazon.es generated additional sales without the need to ship extra inventory to Spain.
• Country‑specific ad targeting — A Brazilian fashion entrepreneur switched from broad Sponsored Products to keyword groups built around local search terms, which lowered his Advertising Cost of Sale (ACoS) by roughly 30 %.
• Accelerated freight choice — A Mexican snack brand moved its high‑margin items from 45‑day sea freight to 12‑day air freight, resulting in tighter stock levels and fewer lost sales during peak periods.
• Localized review requests — A German cosmetics seller began sending post‑purchase emails in the buyer’s native language, boosting the share of five‑star reviews from 62 % to 78 % within two months.
• Regional seller networking — Participants emphasized that active membership in Facebook and Telegram groups for their market provided instant troubleshooting and opened collaboration opportunities, such as joint promotional bundles.
• Data‑driven niche discovery — A Colombian kitchen‑gadgets creator used Helium 10’s Xray tool to locate a low‑competition product segment, leading to a successful launch that achieved a 4.5‑star rating and a 25 % profit margin in the first quarter.
