Until recently, only Manufacturers selling wholesale to Amazon via Vendor Central could pay for an A+ Content Page and have the option of adding video to their product detail pages. Amazon then released the opportunity for Brand Registry users in Seller Central to also add a video to their listings in the upper image block same as Vendor Central. In addition, brands can also individually upload additional videos under “Related Video Shorts” allowing them to place multiple videos on the detail page.
If you’re using Vendor Central or have Brand Registry we recommend placing sales videos at the top while adding additional customer videos to Related Video Shorts such as How-To videos, Testimonials, Un-Boxing and anything that can make the customer experience better. If you only have a few videos and a handful of ASIN’s this can be done manually simply by logging in and uploading your video manually to each of your listings.
However, if you have multiple ASIN’s and would like to add a video to all of them, you can use AMZ Product Video to accomplish this task. Using a unique distribution agreement with Amazon to provide videos to their platform, AMZ Product Video has created a way to upload your video and ‘attach’ it to relevant products just above the product reviews under ‘Related Video Shorts’, enabling sellers to enhance their listings and increase conversions and sales.

While some products are fairly straightforward, many products have a story to tell, something that’s unique and makes them stand out. Other products are highly demonstrable and customers need to “see it in action” in order to fully understand it’s benefits. Whether you have a product commercial, how to video, un-boxing or even product comparison AMZ Product Video can get it uploaded it and attach it to your listings. This is an incredible opportunity for Seller Central sellers to capitalize on.
How it Works
1) You provide the video, metadata and content to AMZ Product Video (you can also purchase a video creation package).
2) They upload it to Amazon and use metadata to link the video to your products using it’s own ASIN and unique URL.
3) Videos then show up in the ‘Related Video Shorts’ section, just above the product reviews, where customers often look for more information.
4) You can link to the Video directly from FeedbackFive emails or invite users to “Scroll Down to View” your video from the product features or description.
Note that while video Analytics are not yet available directly to you as a client, they can be requested intermittently from AMZ Product Video to track your video views.

Adding a Link to Your Video from FeedbackFive
Once your video has been uploaded using AMZ Product Video, you can right-click on the video title and select “Open link in new Tab” and grab the URL of the ASIN (each video is assigned a unique ASIN just like a product). This is the URL for the Klik Belts Video: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07239ZJKB
Next, you’ll need to grab a frame from your video (or a still image) and add a play button to it like this one we did for Klik Belts:
In FeedbackFive, select “Add Image” on the right to add the screenshot to your image library (Switch to Advanced Editor if you’re in the Wizard).
Place the cursor in the email where you want the image to be added and select the image title in the image library to add it to the email. Double-click the image until the Image Properties dialogue box pops up and select the Link tab:
In the URL field paste the URL of the ASIN Video (Example: https://www.amazon.com/dp/ASIN). In the Target, select New Window (_blank).
Select OK at the bottom of the Image Properties box and then Save at the top of the email (be sure to send a test to yourself to make sure the link works!)
Here’s what your email will look like to Amazon customers who purchase the product, prompting them to watch the video:
