Amazon Adds Brand Story to A+ Content: A Dedicated Carousel for Brand Identity on Product Pages
Amazon launched the Brand Story module for A+ Content, adding a dedicated carousel that can hold up to 19 scrollable cards. After a single setup, the story auto‑appears on every ASIN linked to the brand, freeing sellers from editing each product page individually.
Overview
Amazon has introduced a new A+ Content module called Brand Story, which gives brand‑registered sellers a dedicated carousel on each product detail page to showcase their brand narrative. The carousel sits separate from traditional A+ modules, so sellers can keep product‑specific information distinct from brand messaging. Because a single Brand Story is applied automatically to every ASIN linked to the brand, the feature promises major time savings for sellers with large catalogs.
Key Points
- Dedicated carousel slot — Brand Story appears in its own “About the Brand” area, independent of the regular A+ description section.
- Up to 19 scrollable cards — Sellers can add a background image and populate the carousel with as many as 19 content cards.
- Four pre‑designed card templates — One template includes a direct link to the seller’s Amazon Store, while the others support text, images, or mixed media.
- One‑time creation, universal rollout — After a single setup, the story is displayed on every product page that belongs to the brand.
- Responsive layout — The carousel automatically adjusts for desktop, tablet, and mobile browsers.
How Brand Story Works
- Eligibility check — Only sellers enrolled in Amazon Brand Registry can access the feature. For example, a boutique cosmetics brand that completed registration can immediately see the “Create Brand Story” button in the A+ Content Manager.
- Background image upload — The seller uploads a high‑resolution banner that sets the visual tone, such as a photo of the company’s flagship factory or a lifestyle image that reflects the brand’s ethos.
- Card selection and content addition — Using one of the four templates, the seller adds cards. A typical setup might include:
- Founding story card with a short paragraph and a historic photo.
- Quality certifications card showing ISO logos and brief text.

Why This Matters
The one‑time creation saves weeks of manual edits for large catalogs, e.g., a 150‑SKU seller can update all listings instantly. The carousel’s Store‑link card drives traffic to the Amazon Store, potentially boosting average order value and conversion rates.
