BIG NEWS! Amazon Introduces the “Brand Referral Bonus”

The Brand Referral Bonus is a new program launched on 7/15/2021 that allows US Seller Brand Owners to earn a bonus for product sales driven by traffic that originates off of Amazon. Earn an average of 10% of your product sales for any sales that are generated through traffic driven through Facebook, Google, and other sources that are unaffiliated with Amazon. With referral fees at around 15% for most categories, you can potentially decrease your referral rates to 5% for these externally driven sales. This is a program currently only available for US Sellers.
