It has been a while since we last posted an article here on the Merch Informer blog but this not without good reason. We are working on some really exciting updates to Merch Informer that will help everyone really deep dive their research and get a competitive edge in Merch. If you have not checked out our latest update where we added the social hunter, make sure you check that out! Before we release that though, we thought it would be a good idea to go over the three best ways to stay competitive in the Merch environment. It’s true, Merch has changed A LOT over the past few years. When it comes to running a business, you have to […]

In a massive sea of Chrome plugins that can help you with your online business, it can be difficult to decide what to download and use, and what to ignore. You have all seen those Chrome screenshots where people have half the screen taken up by different plugins that they never ever use!

Merch Legend is the newest Chrome extension on the block and it does something important that I have been talking about for a LONG TIME!

Now that AMS is rolling out to everyone, I thought I would take some time to do a writeup on one of the coolest new features there is: Brand Stores! Brand stores are important for a few reasons. The major one is that you can use these to funnel traffic to your listings so you can give out your store link to anyone and they will instantly see your brand on Amazon, linking to every product you have. You can even set up a website and have that website direct to your store. If you are not familliar with brand stores, they look like this: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Neil+deGrasse+Tyson/Neil+deGrasse+Tyson/page/C08C5673-6189-4501-9910-EE1BBD8C527F By the end of this tutorial, you should be up and running with a brand […]

[toc] Today I have a very special post from none other than our good friend Michael Essany! You may know his name from our interview here (which at this point is almost a year old!), or maybe because he has showed up in the media multiple times. We know him because he covered Merch Informer on a news website before we really got going and started our conversation early.

With such a following, and being interviewed for the guide in the early days ourselves, we kept seeing mentions of […]

The time has come to finally address the elephant in the room, or something I have been meaning to address here on the Merch Informer blog! Shipping and fulfillment (and sizing)! A few months ago, we all got this update in our dashboards: Then we got an update to this update: This is the not the first time that the Content Policy has changed and it certainly will not be the last. That being said, the biggest issue I see here is that We have 30 days to fix all of our listings and That 30 days is about to come to a close. If you read the first update on 6/8, it mentions that they are no longer going […]
