Hey friends! 👋
It’s Week 21 — Welcome back to another issue of Creative Corner!
We don’t know about you, but the year started with a bang at Pilothouse. 🧨
To say thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to hang with us, the Pilothouse Amazon team is sharing some of their favorite Amazon A+ listings from 2023.
We hope these tips will help you refresh everything you need to know for thriving A+ Content. 💯
So, off we go! 👇
What is Amazon A+ Content?
A+ Content (or EBC – Enhanced Brand Content) is your ticket to creating customized Product Detail Pages (PDP) on Amazon with the level of detail and branding a customer would see on a website.
Amazon offers a range of modules for adding photos and copy about your products or brand. While some brands emphasize product details, others use A+ Content to delve into brand specifics for added customer value.
For businesses that meet a list of Amazon requirements, Premium A+ is available. This offers brands a larger, enhanced version with more module options.
Time for your close-up! 📸
This A+ Content for Selkirk is all about showcasing the unique details of the product 👉 cue the close-ups!
Since this product is new to the market, we aimed to tell a story that differentiated it from competitors by strategically highlighting its best/unique selling points.
Highlighting the USPs, like texture, showcasing color variations, and including a model comparison chart, helps viewers better understand the product and feel supported in their purchase decision.
Additionally, including quotes from industry professionals adds social proof to the content and builds trust with the audience.
While this A+ Content includes a ton of information, its layout breaks the critical points into bite-size chunks, for viewers to easily find the info they want.

For better or worse, the reality is…most weeks on the DTC Podcast we talk about products that put more plastic into the world.
This week, we sat down with Joel Tasche, founder of CleanHub, to reverse the trend. ♻️
Rooted in his love for Germany's natural landscapes and his concern over Asia's pollution, Joel created CleanHub, targeting the critical issue of only 9% of global plastic being recycled.
CleanHub excels in eco-friendly waste management, employing innovative approaches like energy recovery and co-processing. They partner with local collectors, ensuring effective waste retrieval.
For brands that want to see their impact, CleanHub’s advanced tracking system provides real-time, transparent verification of waste collection, ensuring reliable and impactful environmental efforts.
All this transparency and attribution lends deep credibility to brands and customers who resonate with this mission.
DTC brands, like Sud Scrub, are collabing with CleanHub to transform environmental concerns into actionable solutions, aiding in the development of waste management infrastructure in underserved areas.
Support CleanHub's mission for a cleaner, healthier planet where sustainability is practical and tangible.
