AMAZON MERCH CHANGED! What’s going on?

Been able to report on it yet or even understand really what’s going on but I’ll try my best to explain it to you in this video and to show you what you need to look out for during your research when looking at bsrs so here’s the first

Example I wanted to show you to illustrate this point we’ve got a Halloween design of different You Know Gaming controllers and if we look at the BSR this is 8 000 for this design which is definitely possible for these kinds of you know popular Halloween designs

But it is a bit strange that we’ve got the middle of September and we’re seeing a Halloween shirt selling that much because usually an 8K BSR you know it indicates hundreds of sales a day whereas this actually says 300 plus times bought in the past month

Which is about 10 sales per day right so something isn’t really adding up here um It also says climate pledge friendly which is a fairly recent thing that they’ve added on these Amazon merch listings so bear that in mind when we look at the next shirt so here we’ve got

Breast cancer awareness which is actually also during October it’s not in September and this shirt says 200 times bought in the past month which is you know like seven seven or eight sales a day and this shirt has a 10 000 BSR extremely low considering the breast cancer awareness topic doesn’t really

Trend to its peak until October one thing I would like to add here is that usually 200 plus bought a month I do have some some products like this that get about 200 Sales a month usually those beers ass and not this low usually it would be like 100 kbsr maybe 100 150

KBS around that range it all has to do with this climate pledge friendly sign or group that they’ve added because if we look at the actual BSR details right here it says that the 10 000 BSR is in the climate pledge friendly category so it’s like a new category that they’ve

Created and it would kind of make sense if you know how BSR works I’m kind of assuming that you know if you’re watching this but BSR is relative to all of the different products in the category that lower the BSR rank they’re better at products selling if there’s

Millions and millions of products in a category a 100 kbsr is quite decent but if there’s only a few hundred thousand products in a category which I’m guessing is what the climate pledge friendly category looks like right now then a 10 kbsr is more equivalent to

What we knew before as a 100 kbsr now that might sound a bit confusing but basically you need to know that this seems to be a new category that some of the merch teachers are in especially some of the best selling ones and that’s why the BSR looks a lot lower than it

Actually would have been in the past because if we look at this t-shirt this is like the good comparison and that will hopefully make you understand this better this t-shirt says 100 plus bought in the past month so it’s selling about half as well as the previous shirt for

Breast cancer awareness but there’s no badge right there’s no climate friendly badge right here and if we scroll down to the BSR it’s a 177k which is way bigger than the 10K BSR we just saw and why is that it’s because here in the clothing shoes and jewelry category that is where it’s

Pulling the BSR from there’s no climate pledge friendly friendly category right here what this means for us sellers looking at you know shirts during our research is that the BSR numbers are now from different categories like some other shirts you see might be like this right here where they’re selling quite

Well but the BSR is a bit higher 177 okay I mean that’s not a bad BSR but still and then you will see assure that selling really well that has a 10K BSR but it’s not actually that far away from from this sort of shirt in terms of

Sales it’s maybe only twice as good so that makes things more confusing and it means we kind of have to open these up look for the badge and if the badge is there we know that the category is smaller and therefore a low BSR is not

As valuable as it would have been in the past so you have to watch out for that symbol now I’m guessing this will still change in future where they might expand that category or move all of the shirts into the climate pledge friendly category maybe that will still happen I

Don’t know this is all very new and fresh and I don’t know the the ins and out of it either like how exactly this is going to work and one last example here we’ve got a happy Easter design in the climate pledge friendly category with a 340 kbsr which is still you know

Regular daily sales and that to me doesn’t make any sense so normally we would assume from this PSR this designers getting daily sales but no one really is buying Easter designs right now I I really doubt it so that’s another factor that should prove to you because this is the climate

Pledge friendly category and that category is probably a lot smaller than the one that we’re used to that means this this beers as actually a lot less valuable so normally maybe this would be like a one one or two million BSR right that’s what I’m trying to say yeah I

Hope that helps to demonstrate these changes and helps you understand that not all of the low bsrs that you’re seeing and necessarily you know top sellers with thousands of sales a month and by the way if you’ve got further insight into this or some theories or maybe something that you think I got

Wrong then please leave it in the comments down below it’s all very new to me as well and I’m happy to hear your thoughts on this new change and how you’ve been adapting to it if you sell on merch by Amazon then you definitely need to watch this video next where
