Amazon Storefront Best Practices
The High-Converting Storefront Layout
Auto-play (Muted) to hook traffic
Contextual selling
Amazon storefront best practices all boil down to using the same best practices in conventional conversion rate optimization for landing pages.
If you’re not familiar, the term “landing page” means the entry point into a site, the first page the customer sees.
This terminology commonly comes up with my eCommerce consulting clients on their Shopify or Woocommerce eCommerce websites, but all of the same principles apply to Amazon.
Let’s have a look at Amazon Storefront template best practices.
Amazon Store Best Practices:
Landing Pages
- Each page is a landing page as you will be sending unique advertising traffic to each page.
- Not every visitor will enter your Store through the Home page.
- Therefore, each page should include all of the elements of your homepage, tailored to specific category pages or individual product pages.
- EXCEPTIONS: FAQ, Why Brand, About Us, Reviews, Automatically Generated Page
Video
- If possible, include loopable videos throughout that showcase the action and positive results of using your product.
- Additional important videos: Explainer Video, How To Use/Maintain, Video Testimonials
Mobile First
- The majority of stores are viewed on mobile devices, therefore imagery and overlay text should be large enough to be read and appreciated on smaller devices.
Text
- Less is more.
- Focus more on imagery and video.
- When text is used, make it large, succinct and use power and sensory words.
Acting on these best practices is how to reduce ACOS on Amazon and is part of a high-performing Amazon Advertising Strategy.
What’s more, by using your Amazon Storefront, you get access to Amazon Posts, which not only allow you to gain followers on Amazon but get additional placements outside of traditional SEO & Amazon PPC.
Now that we’re clear on best practices, on to the Amazon storefront templates:

Amazon Storefront Design Example
This Amazon storefront design example comes from client: Cambio Roasters, America’s fastest-growing k-cup brand.
What I love about this design, apart from sticking to the Amazon storefront design templates above and the fact that I architected it as their consultant for Amazon, is that Cambio does a fantastic job considering how someone may want to browse their store.
Coffee drinkers approach browsing and selecting coffee from a few different goals and in their ease of navigation grid section, they executed on this flawlessly.
Coffee drinkers may want to browse by:
- Flavor/Blend
- Light, Medium or Dark Roast
- Deals
- USDA Organic Certified
- Fair Trade Certified
- Low Acid
Even though many of these pages contain the same offerings, they are packaged and presented to be congruent with the customers’ way of thinking and desire.
This is far more effective than simply a grid of products and hoping the customer finds their way to the right one.
