From zero sales to trending towards ¥25,000,000 / month ($150,000 / month)

Launched from zero account history in a seasonal category with a modest fixed ad budget. Growth had to be built carefully, not forced.

Result: now trending towards ¥25,000,000 / month ($150,000 / month) in peak season next year, while holding 9.1% TACOS.

Who we help

We work best with serious teams that want Amazon Japan handled properly by an Amazon Japan specialist agency, with consultant support when needed.

Brands entering Amazon Japan

For teams that want the launch shaped properly from the start.

Brands already selling there

For live accounts where the fix is usually in localisation, structure, proof, or advertising.

Teams tired of generic agencies

For brands that want one market handled with depth and commercial realism.

Japanese localisation is not the same as translation.

Japanese shoppers are typically more risk averse than western shoppers. The first job of any Amazon product detail page is to remove doubt from the purchase, answer the likely questions, and then give the shopper a reason to buy.

If a Japanese shopper still has unanswered questions or concerns, they will usually move on — and the sale is gone.

Our process.

We start by understanding your brand, your product, what questions customers will have, and what makes you different from competitors.

Then we build listing copy and listing images that remove risk from the buying decision, before giving the shopper a reason to choose your product.

Beyond Amazon.

OCEANS magazine feature example

Trust in Japan is built beyond the Amazon listing.

Japanese shoppers are often more risk-averse than western shoppers. They want to be sure the product is the right choice before they buy, and if anything feels unclear, they will usually keep looking.

That often means searching Google or Yahoo for the brand or product and checking what appears off Amazon: the official website, social accounts, reviews, blogs, YouTube videos, magazine mentions, and other third-party discussion.

The stronger those signals are, the more trust and awareness you build in Japan, which increases the chances of the shopper buying on Amazon.
