Why does one need to check products for BSR with the Seller Assistant?
Amazon best sellers rank (BSR) is a metric that shows how well a product sells compared to other products in the same category. Amazon assigns a BSR to every product that has been sold at least once.
The lowest BSR on Amazon indicates that the product currently sells the best in its category or subcategory. The better the product performs, the lower the BSR number is.
Ways to use BSR
tracking sales performance;
monitoring product standing against direct competitors;
in a product, research to estimate the demand for a specific product, its sales frequency, and levels.
Since BSR is updated hourly, you need to estimate its fluctuations for 30, 90, and 180 days to understand its dynamics.
What BRS parameters does Seller Assistant show?
Seller Assistant displays:
BSR number;
BSR trend;
BSR drops;
BSR change in %;
the approximate number of product sales, calculated based on the BSR and category.
