Launching a product on Amazon is tough. But relaunching one that’s stalled, lost rank, or failed to gain traction the first time? That’s a whole different challenge—and it’s one that more sellers face than you might think.
Whether you’ve experienced low conversions, high return rates, poor traffic, or a failed launch altogether, don’t worry. A failed product is not a dead product—but it does need a strategic relaunch.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through exactly how to relaunch your Amazon product using the three key levers that actually move the needle:
- 📸 Image Optimization – to boost your click-through rate (CTR)
- 💰 Pricing Strategy – to balance value and profitability
- 🎯 PPC Advertising – to rebuild rank and drive conversions
By combining these tactics, you can breathe new life into your listing and turn a past failure into future success.
🔍 Why Amazon Products Fail (and Why Relaunches Work)
First, let’s talk about why products stall or fail on Amazon in the first place:
- Poor product-market fit
- Weak imagery that doesn’t convert
- Bad keyword targeting or SEO
- Overpriced (or underpriced) listings
- Ineffective or mismanaged PPC campaigns
- Low review count or poor review quality
- Inconsistent inventory or suppressed ASINs
Amazon’s algorithm is brutal. Once your product dips in conversions or visibility, your organic rank plummets, and it becomes harder and harder to recover.
A strategic relaunch gives your ASIN a second chance—with better content, optimized pricing, and focused advertising.
Let’s break down how to do it right.
📸 Step 1: Optimize Your Images for Clicks and Conversions
Your main image is the first thing shoppers see in search results. If your CTR is low, it doesn’t matter how good your product is—shoppers won’t click.
Here’s how to refresh your listing images for maximum impact:
✅ 1. Start with the Main Image
Your main image should:
- Fill at least 85% of the image space
- Be shot against a pure white background
- Show your product clearly and professionally
- Include the full product (no cropped or partial images)
- Be high-resolution (1000 x 1000 pixels or higher)
Pro Tip: Test different angles or versions using tools like PickFu or Amazon’s Manage Your Experiments.
✅ 2. Add Infographics to Secondary Images
Use infographics to:
- Highlight product features
- Show dimensions and compatibility
- Explain use cases
- Address common objections
Make sure they’re clean, mobile-optimized, and easy to read in thumbnail form.
✅ 3. Include Lifestyle Images
Show your product in use, by real people, in real-life settings.
This helps customers:
- Visualize owning the product
- Understand the size and scale
- Build emotional connection and trust
✅ 4. Use Comparison Images
If your product is better than the competition, show it. Use side-by-side graphics to:
- Compare features
- Demonstrate performance or durability
- Highlight unique selling points
✅ 5. Video (If Possible)
If you’re brand registered, a short, compelling product video can dramatically improve conversions. Focus on:
- Product benefits
- Real-world use
- Unboxing or installation
💰 Step 2: Reassess and Adjust Your Pricing
Pricing is one of the biggest levers for both conversion rate and ad performance.
If your listing isn’t converting, your price may be:
- Too high for your target audience
- Too low to build trust
- Not competitive with similar listings
Here’s how to approach it strategically:
✅ 1. Analyze Your Competition
Use tools like Helium 10, Jungle Scout, or Amazon itself to:
- Identify top sellers in your category
- Compare pricing, quantity, and value
- Look for gaps or opportunities (e.g., if everyone is $19.99, try $17.47 or $21.95)
✅ 2. Use Charm Pricing and Anchoring
Pricing psychology still works on Amazon:
- End with .97 or .99 to suggest value
- Use strikethrough pricing (Was $29.99, Now $19.99)
- Offer bundles or multipacks to increase perceived value per unit
✅ 3. Consider a Temporary Price Drop for Relaunch
A short-term price reduction can help:
- Improve your conversion rate
- Win the Buy Box more easily
- Increase visibility through algorithmic signals
- Reduce ACoS (if paired with ads)
Then, once you have momentum and reviews, slowly bring the price back up.
✅ 4. Track Your Profit Margins
Use tools like Sellerboard, Shopkeeper, or your own spreadsheets to ensure you’re not underpricing yourself out of profitability—especially when PPC costs are added in.
🎯 Step 3: Relaunch with a Smart PPC Strategy
Now that your listing is visually optimized and priced for conversion, it’s time to drive traffic and kickstart your rank again.
Here’s how to relaunch your product using PPC:
✅ 1. Structure Your Campaigns for Data and Scale
Use a 3-tier PPC structure:
- Auto Campaign – Broad discovery (set low bids, monitor search terms)
- Manual Broad/Phrase Match Campaign – Target mid- and long-tail keywords
- Manual Exact Match Campaign – For converting, high-intent search terms
Keep ad groups tightly themed and limit keywords per group (5–10 max).
✅ 2. Target Your Best Keywords First
Use keyword research tools to identify:
- High-volume, low-competition phrases
- Keywords your competitors rank for
- Relevant long-tail search terms with strong buyer intent
Start by focusing ad spend on your top 5–10 converting keywords.
✅ 3. Use ASIN Targeting Ads
Target competitor listings directly by:
- Choosing under-optimized ASINs
- Offering better value or bundling
- Displaying your ad on their product page
This can steal sales from the competition at a lower cost than broad keyword targeting.
✅ 4. Set a Realistic Daily Budget
Plan to spend at least $25–$50/day per campaign during the relaunch window. Watch your ACoS and adjust bids based on performance, but give Amazon enough data to optimize.
✅ 5. Track and Optimize Weekly
Use your Amazon Campaign Manager to monitor:
- Impressions
- CTR
- CPC
- Conversion rate
- ACoS/TACoS
Cut underperforming keywords. Increase bids on winners. Pause ad groups with low CTR and poor relevance.
🧱 Bonus: Build on a Solid Foundation
Before relaunching, make sure you’ve handled the basics:
🧾 Backend Keywords
- Use all 250 bytes in the backend search terms
- Avoid duplication of visible keywords
- Add misspellings, synonyms, and niche variations
💬 Reviews and Ratings
- If possible, reach at least 15+ reviews with a 4.3+ star average
- Use the “Request a Review” button
- Follow up via Buyer-Seller Messaging (TOS-compliant)
- Improve your product based on review feedback
📦 Inventory
- Ensure FBA stock is fully received and available
- Avoid going out of stock during relaunch—this will kill your ranking momentum
- Monitor your restock limits and IPI score
📈 Case Study: The Power of the Relaunch
A private label seller in the kitchen niche launched a silicone baking mat in late 2023. Despite a great product, their sales stalled within 3 weeks due to:
- Weak images (no lifestyle photos)
- Pricing $10 above competitors
- Broad PPC campaigns with poor keyword targeting
- Low review count (only 3)
In early 2024, they relaunched using:
- A new main image, two infographics, and a lifestyle photo
- Temporary price drop from $29.99 to $18.97
- Targeted PPC campaigns around keywords like “non-stick baking mat for cookies”
- Sponsored Brand video ad and ASIN targeting ads on top competitors
Results in 30 days:
- Sales increased 230%
- ACoS dropped from 76% to 32%
- Organic ranking improved for 8+ keywords
- Review count grew to 25+
✍️ Final Thoughts: Relaunch the Smart Way
A product that didn’t succeed at launch isn’t a failure—it’s just unfinished.

- 📸 Update your listing images for clarity, conversion, and professionalism
