Eyewear (Approval is required to sell in this category)

Whether you're selling products for men, women, boys, girls or all of the above, accurate data is crucial to discoverability and sales. How you present products can greatly influence customers‘ purchasing decisions when shopping on Amazon. A clear and concise listing that follows a consistent format will better inform customers and increase the probability of discovering the products. This in turn can result in increased traffic to product detail pages and sales of your products on Amazon. Please review the following information in detail and make the necessary updates to your product listings.

Title Style Get customer attention with great titles. Clear and concise titles will

improve search results and catch the customer‗s attention.

Brand & Manufacturer Improve discoverability and duplicate detection by entering accurate

brand and manufacturer information.

Images Show customers what they're buying. Professional images on white

backgrounds will bring life and added attractiveness to the product.

Key Product Features Highlight the key features and benefits of the product.

Product Descriptions Elaborate on the features and uses of the product.

Item Package Quantity Indicates how many items are in the package. Provide this if there is

more than one identical unit in the package of the product you are selling.

Variation Relationships Make choices easy: Display multiple size and color options on a single

detail page.

Browse & Search

Improve discoverability and traffic through search terms, Item Type

Keywords (ITKs) and refinements.

Title Style

The product title is the first thing customers see when visiting a detail page. Does the title provide the customer with the right information? Will they continue looking at the detail page after reading the title?

Amazon uses product titles to display products in search results. A concise and relevant title will drive traffic to a product detail page. Always check titles for consistent format and accuracy. Follow the guidelines below to create product titles that create a good first impression.

When you list your child products, fully describe each one so they can be included in browse and search results. Each individual word in the product name is searchable by itself. For example, suppose your product name is ―Doc Marten's Black and White Smooth 5 Eye Wingtip Brogue Shoes.‖ Because this product name is very detailed, this product already has a good selection of search terms even before you add additional search terms.

Product Descriptions When describing your product, you may want to include some key details from the feature bullets. However, go beyond a simple, to-the-point description. Well-written product descriptions help the customer imagine the experience of owning or handling the product. Put yourself in a customer‘s shoes: what would they want to feel, touch, ask, and want? Incorporate information about the feel, usage and benefits of your product to fire the customer's imagination. This is as close as you can come to creating an in-store experience. Product Descriptions are limited to 2000 characters.

Do Do Not

Item Package Quantity

Indicates how many items are in the package. Please use if there is more than one identical unit in the package of the product you are selling.

Images

Importance of high-quality images

In an online store, the product image is one of your most valuable marketing tools. When customers browse Amazon.com pages, often the image draws them to consider your product. In addition, with so many choices available for online purchases, a well-formed image can set your product apart from the others. Poor quality images turn away customers. Use your product images to communicate the selling points and features of your products, to inform and interest customers, and to reinforce your brand. Every SKU must have a main image.

Image types

Amazon.com can display several images for each product. It is in your interest to provide several high-

resolution product images of your products so customers can make informed buying decisions. You can

use four types of images to illustrate your products:

The parent SKU main image, used for the product detail page (the page customers see when

they search and browse results. The parent SKU main image is required for each parent product.

The main image appears as a smaller representation of the full-size image on the product detail

page; when customers click the smaller picture, the full-size picture appears in a pop-up window.

You must supply a parent main image.

The child SKU main image shows the product in the specific color of the child SKU variation. This

image is displayed in the image pop-up window on the product detail page, and is required for each

color of a product.

Alternate images show different views of the product to help clarify use, details, fabric, and cut,

and to show the product from different angles. You can provide up to eight alternate images for

each parent and child SKU. The alternate image for a parent SKU appears in the image pop-up

window on the product detail page. When a customer clicks a specific color in the pop-up window,

the alternate image for that color is displayed.

A swatch image shows a different color, fabric, or other variation available for the product. You

can provide one swatch image for each child SKU. Swatch images display on the product detail page along with the name of the variation.

Image requirements

Your product images must meet certain technical and style requirements. Failure to meet the requirements can result in the suspension of your seller account.

Required Use pure white backgrounds (RGB 0,0,0; hex #FFFFFF),

CATEGORY STYLE GUIDE: EYEWEAR

13 © 2010-2012 Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates

Only one product per image is permitted

Product images should be at least 1001 pixels on the longest side. Product images should be in color, not black & white

Show the entire product; it should occupy at least 80 percent of the image

area Include only what the customer will be receiving; accessories that are not part of the product should not be shown If it is a bundled product, it is not necessary to show the entire LOT; a single image of the product will suffice

Multiple angles of each product is preferred If it is a bundled product, it is not necessary to show the entire lot, a single image of the product is appropriate

Prohibited Do not include brand tags or packaging in any of the images Do not use images of second hand or slightly used products Do not include borders, watermarks, text, or other decorations Do not use sketches or drawings of the product; use real photos only Do not use colored backgrounds or lifestyle pictures

Do not use mannequins

Do not include other products, items, or accessories that are not part of the product listing; only include exactly what the customer will be buying

Do not include images containing multiple products

Do not use image place holders (such as ―temporary image‖ or ―no image

available‖) Do not use images containing graphs of product ratings Do not include promotional text such as "sale" or "free ship" (use the Manage Promotions tool)

Note:

• When submitting the main image for child products be sure the image represents the actual child product being listed. For instance, if you are listing different colors of the same product, it is important that you provide the image that represents the color of the specific variation. • Zoom Functionality - When you submit an image of at least 1001 pixels on the longest side, customers can zoom in on your product image on the detail page. This provides a detailed look at your product and may reduce returns and negative feedback.

Swatch Image Requirements

Using Swatches for Product Variations

Product detail pages show the "main" image for the parent products. The .MAIN shot is to be

photographed at a 3/4 view from slightly above.

CATEGORY STYLE GUIDE: EYEWEAR

15 © 2010-2012 Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates

Swatches for child products, if available, appear below the main image as 30 x 30 pixel thumbnails. When a customer clicks the swatch image, one of two things happens:

If the main image for the child product is available, then the swatch image and/or color name text on the detail page links to the image pop-up windows, and the main image for the child

SKU appears in a pop-up window.

If the main image for the child product is not available, then the swatch and/or color name text on the detail page does not link to anything.

Alternative images help customers see other aspects of your product, such as color or detail.

Variation Relationships

Variations allow customers to choose the desired color and lens color combination (in the case of sunglasses) of the product from a single detail page, which you create using parent-child product relationships. The parent products are the initial display on the detail page. The child products are the products that are related to each parent and display when the variation is selected by the buyer. The relationship of parent to child is the variation theme: Sunglasses – ‗Color/LensColor‘ variation theme Readers – ‗Color/MagnificationStrength‘ variation theme Prescription Ready – ‗Color/LensWidth‘ variation theme *In each variation theme listed above, the color of the eyewear frame should be inserted into the ‗Color‘ field.

There are three Components to a Parent/Child relationship:

Parent product: Non-buyable products displayed in search results are parent products, such as Ray-Ban RB2140.

Child products: Buyable products related to parent product by (e.g. color and lens color, such as Black Frame/Grey Gradient Lens).

Variation theme: Defines how the product differs from each other, such as ‗Color/LensColor.‘

For Sunglasses: Each parent SKU should only be a single lens width size (e.g., 55mm). For

children, it is required to include Color (Frame Color) and Lens Color. Use variation theme

‘Color/LensColor’ for sunglasses.

Example: Ray-Ban Men‘s RB2140 Wayfarer Sunglasses

PARENT:

Ray-Ban Men's RB2140 Wayfarer 50mm

CHILD 1: Black Frame + Grey Gradient Lens

CHILD 2: Subway White + Crystal Green Lens

PARENT:

Ray-Ban Men's RB2140 Polarized Wayfarer 50mm

CHILD 1: Black Frame + Polarized Grey Gradient Lens

PARENT:

Ray-Ban Men's RB2140 Wayfarer 54mm

CHILD 1: Black Frame + Grey Gradient Lens

CHILD 2: Subway White + Crystal Green Lens

CATEGORY STYLE GUIDE: EYEWEAR

17 © 2010-2012 Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates

For Readers: Each parent SKU should only be for a single lens width size (e.g., 52mm). For

children, it is required to include Color (Frame Color) and Magnification Strength. Use variation

theme ‘Color/MagnificationStrength’ for readers.

Example: A.J. Morgan Peacock Round Frame Reading Glasses

For Prescription: Each parent SKU should only be a single lens width size (e.g. 55mm). For

children, it is required to include Color (Frame Color) and Lens Width. Use variation theme

‘Color/LensWidth’ for prescription ready glasses.

Example: Ray-Ban RX5162 Prescription Glasses

PARENT:

A.J. Morgan Peacock Round Frame - 50 mm

CHILD 1: Red/BrownFrame + 1.00 Strength

CHILD 2: Lime & Leopard + 1.00 Strength

When to use Variation Relationships

Variation relationships should always be used when listing eyewear products. See below for the critical data elements required for properly setting up a variation relationship:

SKU Parentage (identify for that SKU, either "parent" or "child") Parent SKU (for child SKUs only, enter the parent SKU for that child) Relationship Type (enter "variation" if the product is part of a variation set)

Note: If you enter the Relationship Type and fail to enter the color or size, you may receive an error when uploading your data or the product‘s detail page might not display properly

on the website. Make sure you enter all required variation fields for your products. If you

fail to enter any of the required fields, your products may not display on Amazon.com. If

you have questions, please contact Seller Support.

Browse and Search

Customers visit Amazon.com to shop for products. They can find products in two ways: either using the Browse option, or using Search Terms. Customers often use a combination of browse and search. Make sure customers can find your products either way. Drive traffic by providing Item Type Keywords (ITKs) and Search Terms. Item Type Keywords Classification- Browse

Thousands of merchants sell millions of products on Amazon.com. To help customers find

products easily, Amazon developed a detailed product hierarchy or browse-tree structure.

Customers refine by category and subcategory links until they reach the most specific

product type.

Amazon uses Item Type Keywords to classify products under the correct browse nodes. In

order for products to continue to appear when customers refine their category options, they

must be classified correctly to the deepest level.

See the latest Browse Tree Guide (BTG) in seller central for Shoes, Handbags, Eyewear, and Shoe Accessories.

The Eyewear BTG contains all of the Item Type Keywords that you will need in order to fully

and properly classify products for browse discovery purposes. Be sure that when adding

Item Type Keywords to your products they match *exactly* to the spelling and format of

the Item Type Keywords listed in the BTG. For example, if you have a pair of women‘s

aviator sunglasses, the appropriate Item Type Keyword to use is ‗sunglasses‘ (along with a

department value of ‗womens‘). If you spell the Item Type Keyword as ‗sunglass‘, Amazon

will not recognize the item-type keyword and your product will not be browsed into the

correct node. The Item Type Keywords you use must be exact matches to those

listed in the BTG.

How to Pick and Apply Terms to an Item

Start with the item to classify and refer to the Shoes, Handbags, Eyewear, and Shoe Accessory Browse

Tree Guide (BTG) for Item Type Keywords. Refer to the Valid Values tables in the flat file template

for the appropriate and relevant refinements.

For example, to classify women’s aviator sunglasses, you would complete the following steps:

1. Refer to the Amazon Shoes BTG, and locate the eyewear section in that guide

2. Identify the Item-Type-Keyword (in this case, "sunglasses")

3. Refer to the Amazon Valid Values document, and locate Department and Material values

4. Identify the appropriate Department (in this case, "womens")

5. Choose the appropriate Frame Material Type (Metal), Occasion-lifestyle (Fashion), Item

Shape (Aviator), etc.

Note: • The Item Type must have the same exact spelling and formatting as listed in the BTG.

CATEGORY STYLE GUIDE: EYEWEAR

20 © 2010-2012 Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates

• Make sure all of your products have keywords for the most specific subcategory possible Search Amazon automatically indexes the search terms that are derived from the standard-product-id (e.g., UPC/EAN), product-title, brand, manufacturer, and manufacturer-part-number, so you don‗t have to. This allows you to add even more keywords to products. There are five separate entries for the keyword field and each can contain up to 50 characters—comma separated.

Search terms help customers find products. Product titles and company name are already searchable, so think about other words that describe the product. We have added new attributes and refinements that will help customers narrow their search results. Refinements correspond with new fields in the feed templates, XML XSDs, and Add a Product tool, so you can provide additional attributes that apply to the products. Think like Amazon customers when

choosing your terms; use words they might enter into the search bar, including synonyms. Make sure they can find the products! Guidelines for listing your Search Terms

Each product can have up to five search lines of 50 characters per field; that's 250

characters available for your search terms The words you choose are the terms our search engine pulls from when customers

search the site The individual words of the title, merchant name, and brand are also automatically

included as search terms and do not need to be repeated in your search terms Any combinations of title words and search terms are fully searchable

Examples Text–file feed

If you are using an inventory flat file, the template fields for search terms appear as search-terms1, search-terms2, and so on. For more details about how to create effective search terms, see Using Search & Browse.
