The Amazon Corner
Amazon's Latest Crackdown: New Product Title Requirements
Attention all Amazon sellers: the clock is ticking.In an effort to "standardize listings" and "enhance the shopping experience," the e-commerce giant has announced new requirements for product titles starting on January 21st.
Obviously, this announcement has caused quite a stir, with concerns ranging from potential errors due to AI-generated titles to Amazon's history of slow enforcement. With 22% of current product titles not meeting the new standards, it's clear that Amazon means business. Will this lead to a better shopping experience or a messy game of word salad? Only time will tell.
Breaking Borders: TikTok's Expansion into Mexico Despite Ban Threats
TikTok, the popular short-video app owned by ByteDance, is expanding its e-commerce operation into Mexico next month.Despite facing challenges from Washington's "sell-or-ban" law, TikTok remains undeterred and has even challenged the federal law in court.
With its growing user base and valuation of over US$84 billion, TikTok Shop is set to make a splash in Latin America, with merchants already being invited to open stores on the platform. However, certain restrictions will be placed on goods sold through TikTok Shop in Mexico.
