Amazon Storefronts vs. Brand Stores
Clearing up terminology confusion and optimizing your virtual Amazon store.
Many sellers use the terms 'Storefront' and 'Brand Store' interchangeably. In reality, your storefront is the customer-facing seller feedback profile, while the Brand Store is your custom branded website inside Amazon. We explain how to maximize both.
Which option should you choose?
Ensure your Seller Storefront is clean and professional, but put 95% of your design budget into your Brand Store, as it acts as an organic, search-indexed navigation hub for your entire catalog.

1. Brand Store as a PPC Landing Page
Instead of driving Sponsored Brand ads to a standard Amazon search result page, route traffic to custom, curated subpages inside your Brand Store to boost conversion rates by up to 30%.
2. Mobile-First Storefront Design
Over 70% of Amazon purchases occur on mobile devices. Standard storefront banners get heavily cropped or shrunk on mobile. We design stores with mobile-specific layouts in mind.
