What is Amazon's 3D Product Model Tool?
Amazon has recently introduced a new tool within the Amazon Seller app that allows brand-registered sellers to create free 3D models of their products. This feature is accessible via iOS devices with iOS 17 or newer, offering sellers a seamless and efficient way to scan their products and turn them into interactive 3D models.
Using the iOS scanning technology, sellers can showcase their products from multiple angles, providing customers with a richer, more detailed visual experience. This could lead to increased customer engagement and potentially higher conversion rates.
How Does the 3D Product Model Tool Work?
To use this feature, brand-registered sellers can follow these simple steps:
- Download or update the Amazon Seller app on an iOS device with iOS 17 or newer.
- Access the “Create 3D Models” option from the app menu.
- Scan the product following the app's instructions. The process is quick and guided to ensure accurate representation.
- Once the scan is complete, a 3D artist reviews the model to ensure quality before it goes live on the product listing.
It typically takes around three weeks for the scanned model to be reviewed and added to the listing. Sellers will be notified once the 3D model is active on their product page.
Why Should Sellers Use 3D Models?
The introduction of 3D product models marks a significant enhancement to the way sellers can present their products on Amazon. Here are a few key benefits:
- Improved Customer Experience: 3D models provide customers with a more interactive shopping experience. Shoppers can view products from every angle, making it easier to understand the size, texture, and features.
- Increased Engagement: Listings with 3D models are likely to capture more attention than static images, which can lead to higher engagement rates.
- Higher Conversion Rates: By offering a more detailed view of the product, customers can make more informed purchasing decisions, which may reduce return rates and boost sales.
Eligibility and Limitations
Not all products are eligible for this tool. Amazon currently restricts the use of 3D models to specific product categories and items with physical properties that are suitable for scanning. Additionally, only brand-registered sellers can access this feature.
If your product is eligible, taking advantage of the 3D model feature is a no-brainer for improving your product presentation and increasing your chances of making a sale.
How This Tool Could Increase Sales
3D models offer a more engaging and interactive way to present your products. This can improve your click-through rates and time spent on product pages—key indicators of sales potential on Amazon.
Shoppers are more likely to trust a product they can examine in detail, which means they are more confident in making a purchase. Over time, this confidence translates into better reviews and reduced return rates, both of which positively affect your seller performance metrics.
Conclusion
Amazon's 3D Product Model Tool is a game-changer for brand-registered sellers looking to enhance their product listings and increase sales. By offering a more immersive product experience, sellers can differentiate themselves in the competitive Amazon marketplace.
