How much is the most expensive item that actually gets bought in your Amazon site?

32 replies
I'm not talking of a one-time purchase or getting lucky with a non-related purchase through your product link. I'm talking about something that you're actually promoting in your Amazon review site and regularly get sales from.

How much is the most expensive Amazon product that you always get sales from every month?

In my case, the most expensive item that I regularly get sales from costs between $600 to $700.

      Ok, so people are still comfortable buying physical products online with that price range.

    Yes, I agree that people are comfortable buying in Amazon. But up to what price point? I see lots of high ticket items (more than $5000) with no reviews and I'm wondering if people buy these online or do they go to a physical store where they can actually see and maybe test the product before shelling out such a large amount.

    The high priced items with plenty of reviews are usually among the consistent sellers. Without getting into any specific products, you should generate your best consistent sales from the electronics section. That's one reason why Amazon only gives their affiliates 4% commission in that category.

      I believe Jan Roos would disagree about choosing products from the Electronics section.

      So basically you're saying that you have better chances of getting consistent sales of high-ticket items from the Electronics section. How much is the most expensive one you regularly get sales from?

      $500-$1000 consistently occasionally more but those products each and every month I tend to go for higher competition items in the Electronics section.

        Interesting... I've always steered clear of products from the Electronics section because of the 4% cap. But it seems I should take a second look at it.

    Each have there favorite sections and I believe Jan is offering good advice to newer Affiliates, as it requires more work as there is way more competition in these product areas. However if you put the work in the rewards are proportional.

    Its much easier to pick a less competitive product as Jan suggests, and I also advise my students to do the same, however I also teach them how to rank for the more competitive products if they wish to put the extra work and effort and patience that is required for the more competitive products.

    Kickin it on Amazon

      Any cost, really? It would be helpful if you can give me a price range based on your experience.

      You've regularly sold diamond rings in your Amazon site?

    I'm actually asking what the actual experiences are of Amazon marketers in selling high-ticket items. Sure, somebody would probably buy a $10k jewelry from Amazon. But did this happen to you, in your own Amazon site, on a consistent basis?

    $2,000 product fairly consistently.

    Not saying what the product is though...

    I don't know why people think you HAVE to do it one way or another but never both. You can do high ticket items, low value less competitive items AND electronics if you want. Why limit yourself?

      $2000... nice!

      It's not really a question of limiting yourself but rather, in my case, just choosing my battles.

      I like doing things myself (writing, backlinking, etc) so that severely limits my capacity to churn out Amazon sites at will. The most expensive item I've promoted is around $1k (I get sales once in awhile from it). So I had this perception that it would be better to focus on "more affordable" items which bring in more consistent sales.

      But I am happy to be enlightened on this. Even if I've been doing Amazon for over a year now, you still learn something new.

        Chubbsky, many experienced Amazon people will tell you that the way to optimize your earnings is to have a few low-ticket items you can sell a bunch of, along with the higher ticket items that will provide most of your profits. That's true in the USA, where you can choose the performance model for commissions.

        My most expensive item isn't all that impressive, but that's because I don't target the big-dollar items in the mass market. I like to target items that appeal to the affluent, but not necessarily the four and five figure items.

        If you want some insight into how to market high-dollar items, pick up a copy of Dan Kennedy's book on marketing to the affluent. It's part of his "No BS" series.

    I've been building Amazon sites recently selling various items. Some websites promote lower priced ($1 to $30) items and other websites sell items up to $10,000 but the majority of the products I'm promoting are $100 - $500. I've sold several items in the $300 range. I haven't made any sales of the large ticket items but I'm just starting out.

    Just like anything else I think you have to test things out to see what works. You don't have to sell a lot of $10,000 items to make money but the sales won't come as often as a $300 item. I was lucky to get a good keyword phrase in a domain name with one of the websites I built promoting the large ticket items. The keyword phrase is the product name - not a brand name. I am starting to get a bit of traffic to the site but no sales yet. I look at it like it's a $10 seed. It cost me $10 for the domain name and a bit of my time. One sale will make it well worth the effort I put into it.

    yes its a bad idea to just focus on the high tickets since youll need the high volume stuff to drive your commission up. i hit the 7.5% tier every month sometimes 8 if i remember correctly

    Thanks John.

    I do mix my Amazon products with prices ranging from $100 to $1000. But I am curious up to what price point of a high ticket item do my fellow Amazon marketers get consistent sales from.

    I never really considered promoting high ticket physical products because I felt I will be wasting my time (i.e. people would go to a physical store to buy them). But so far, based on the posts of others, some make consistent sales of $1500 to $2000 products. It is something worth looking into.

      You might be surprised to find out how many very high ticket items get sold on both Ebay and Amazon.

      If you're curious whether or not the product you want to promote sells:
      1. Go to ebay, sign in, and look for the item.
      2. Organize by highest price.
      3. Click on the item that closest matches what you want to promote.
      4. If the seller has good feedback click on it.
      5. In the Feedback section look at the center column under the buyers name. If you are signed in the price the item sold for is there.
      When I first did this I was amazed to see what people will pay for an item, even on Ebay.

      If it sells on Ebay, then it probably sells regularly on Amazon, as well.

    There are definitely a few items for the home that people spend $1000 plus on. Most of the time they're a brand name so people know what to expect (Amazon often has lower prices than Walmart, Sears, etc). Someone mentioned TVs above. I don't sell TVs, but many items are kind of like TVs where you don't need to really see the item in person or if you do, you can just go to a local store and see it and then buy it for a discount on Amazon.

      People buy anything online. People also like to buy bigger heavier things online these days because they get it delivered to their house instead of having to deal with transporting the item yourself from the store.

          Yes, people buy furniture online for sure. There's even many niche furniture sites that deal exclusively online. Those wouldn't exist if there wasn't a market.
