Amazon Extends Free Premium A+ Content to All Brand-Registered Sellers
Amazon now offers free Premium A+ content to all Brand Registry sellers during an extended promotional window, adding video (up to 30 s), carousel (up to 10 slides) and hotspot modules. Amazon claims listings using Premium A+ can see up to a 20 % sales lift, and sellers with an A+ Brand Story plus 15 approved projects get an automatic monthly grant displayed in the A+ Content Manager.
Overview
Amazon has announced that all sellers enrolled in Brand Registry can now use Premium A+ content without charge during an extended promotional window. The upgrade adds video, carousel and hotspot modules to product detail pages, tools Amazon says can lift sales by as much as 20 %. The change removes previous eligibility hurdles, giving brand‑registered sellers a clear opportunity to enhance listings at no extra cost.
Key Points
- Free access for all Brand Registry members — Any seller with an approved brand can publish Premium A+ modules at no fee while the promotion runs.
- Multimedia‑rich modules — New options include up to 30‑second videos, image carousels with up to ten slides, and interactive hotspots that reveal feature details on hover or tap.
- Automatic eligibility track – Sellers who have an A+ Brand Story live on their catalog and have at least 15 A+ projects approved in the past 12 months receive a monthly auto‑grant, displayed as a banner in the A+ Content Manager.
- Future pricing stays opt‑in — Amazon has pledged that any later paid tier will require sellers to actively opt in, eliminating surprise charges.
- Potential sales lift of 20 % — Amazon’s internal tests show listings with Premium A+ can generate up to a fifth more revenue compared with standard A+ listings.
How Premium A+ Works
- Eligibility confirmation — After logging into Seller Central, the A+ Content Manager shows a green “Premium A+ unlocked” badge for all Brand Registry accounts. For example, a seller of organic tea sees the badge immediately after confirming their brand enrollment.
- Module selection — Within the content editor, a new “Premium” tab appears alongside standard templates. Sellers can drag a video module, set a 25‑second product demo, and preview it live. A kitchenware vendor adds a carousel of five lifestyle images to showcase the cookware set.
- Interactive hotspot setup — Sellers choose an image, place hotspot icons, and attach short text or GIFs that appear when shoppers hover. A tech accessory seller adds a hotspot on a laptop port to explain compatibility, increasing the time shoppers spend on the page.
