The first eight weeks of a product on Amazon decide most of what happens after. We plan the launch with you, build the account and listings properly, and run the ads and reviews so your product has a real chance of reaching page one.
Amazon Product Launch Experts for UK Sellers and Brands
We have launched products on Amazon.co.uk for first-time sellers and for brands that already sell elsewhere. The steps are the same; the details are what make the difference.
Why a Strong Launch Matters on Amazon UK
Amazon watches how a new listing performs in its first few weeks: clicks, sales, conversion rate and reviews. A product that sells steadily from day one gets pushed up search. One that stalls tends to stay buried, and climbing out later costs far more in ads.
A UK Team That Knows What British Shoppers Buy
We are based in Milton Keynes and work with sellers from Bletchley and Newport Pagnell to London and Manchester. We write for UK buyers, price for UK competition and time launches around UK dates such as Black Friday and Christmas.
Areas we cover
Based in Milton Keynes, working with Amazon sellers nearby in Bletchley, Wolverton, Newport Pagnell, Stony Stratford, Buckingham, Bedford, Northampton and Olney, and across the UK in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool and Lichfield.

SOUND FAMILIAR?
Why Most New Amazon Products Fail After Launch
It is rarely the product. It is usually one of these three things, and often all of them at once.
No Reviews, No Sales Velocity
Shoppers scroll past listings with no reviews, so sales are slow. Slow sales tell Amazon the product is not wanted, so it ranks lower, and the circle keeps going. Breaking it needs a plan before the stock arrives.
Weak Listings That Don’t Rank or Convert
Titles stuffed with words nobody searches for, phone-photo images and bullet points that copy the supplier’s spec sheet. Even when the listing gets traffic, people do not buy.
Wasting Budget on Launch PPC Without a Plan
Switching on an automatic campaign with a big budget and hoping for the best is the most expensive way to launch. Spend goes on broad searches that never convert, and the money runs out before the product ranks.
Don’t Launch Blind. Get a Free Launch Plan
Tell us about your product and we will send back a short plan: target keywords, a launch price, a PPC budget and a realistic timeline.
Targeting the right keywords from the start, and backing them with ads, gets a new product onto page one for its main searches much sooner than leaving it to chance.
Early Sales Velocity and Reviews
We plan the first reviews through Amazon Vine and steady sales through launch pricing and ads, so the product builds trust in its first month instead of its first year.
Lower Launch Costs and Less Risk
Every pound of ad spend has a job. You know your break-even ACoS before launch, and we stop anything that is not working within days, not weeks.

LAUNCH ADVERTISING
Launch PPC Strategy: Getting Your First Sales Fast
Launch PPC is different from normal PPC. For the first few weeks the goal is sales and ranking, not a perfect ACoS. After that, the goal changes to profit.
01
Launch Campaign Structure
We separate campaigns by job: a small set of exact-match keywords you want to rank for, phrase and broad campaigns to find new searches, and product targeting on competitors. That way you can see exactly what each pound is buying.
Exact-match ranking keywords
Research campaigns for new terms
Competitor product targeting
Daily bid checks in week one
02
From Launch Bids to Profitable ACoS
Launch bids are higher on purpose. As reviews come in and conversion rate settles, we lower bids, move budget to the keywords that sell and bring ACoS down towards your break-even point.
Break-even ACoS agreed upfront
Weekly search term clean-up
Budget moved to proven keywords
TACoS tracked, not just ACoS

Seller Central, Brand Registry, the listing copy, images and A+ content are built and checked.

YOUR TIMELINE
Amazon Launch Timeline: What to Expect Week by Week

PPC restructured, listings improved and budget focused on the two strongest products.
“My Seller Central account used to be a source of constant headaches. The CodeCrackers team completely took over our FBA logistics, inventory forecasting, and compliance. They literally turned chaos into profit. Sales are up 30%, and my time spent worrying about Amazon is now zero.”
Plan for three costs on top of our fee: launch ad spend (often £600 to £1,500 a month per product at first), your first stock order, and Amazon’s referral and FBA fees. Check your margin per unit with our free calculator before you commit.
Allow four to six weeks before launch for research, the account, the listing and getting stock into an Amazon warehouse. After launch, most products settle into steady sales within 60 to 90 days.
Through Amazon’s own tools: the Vine programme for Brand Registered sellers, and the Request a Review button. We never use paid reviews, review swaps or anything else that breaks Amazon’s rules, because it can get an account suspended.
It depends on how competitive your keywords are. Many UK launches spend £20 to £50 a day per product for the first month, then less as the product ranks. We set the budget from real cost-per-click data before launch.
You do not strictly need it to sell, but you do need it for A+ content, Sponsored Brands ads, a Brand Store and Vine. A pending UK trademark application is enough to apply, so we usually start it early.
Yes. Most clients launch in the UK first, prove the product, then expand to Germany, France and the other EU marketplaces or to Amazon.com. We plan the listings, fulfilment and VAT side for each one.
Around day 90 we hand over a report and a plan. You can run the account yourself from there, keep us on for PPC only, or move to full store management.
