As 2025 kicks off, Repricer has some features designed to make managing your eCommerce business more efficient, scalable, and actionable. Among the most significant updates is our new Product Alerts tool that revolutionizes how sellers monitor and manage their product listings. In this blog, we’ll walk you through this feature and explore how it can help you streamline your processes and scale your business.
What are Product Alerts?
Product alerts are designed to flag products that need attention or action from the seller. They help you identify potential issues or opportunities with your products, so you can respond quickly and stay ahead of competitors.
What Kind of Product Alerts Will I See?
Repricer’s Product Alerts are designed to help sellers stay on top of critical aspects of their inventory and pricing strategies. The new flagging system will notify you about several key issues with your products that could impact your competitiveness and sales. Here are the types of flags you’ll see, and the benefits they bring to your business:
Unconfigured Products
If a product is not configured to reprice, it means that your product is not being competitive in the marketplace. This flag will alert you to these non-repricing products so that you can take action and ensure they are properly set up to remain competitive.
Benefit: Keeps your products in the game by ensuring they are priced in line with competitors, improving your chances of winning the Buy Box and increasing sales.
Products Consistently at Minimum Price
When a product has been sitting at its minimum price for a long period, it indicates that there might be an opportunity to adjust the price upwards or modify the strategy to become more competitive.
Benefit: By flagging these products, you can optimize your pricing, ensuring that your listings are not undervalued while remaining competitive.
Products That Haven’t Won the Buy Box
If your products haven’t won the Buy Box even once during a specific period, it’s crucial to reassess your pricing and listing strategies. This flag will notify you of such products, allowing you to take the necessary steps to adjust and improve your chances of winning the Buy Box.
Benefit: Increases your chances of winning the Buy Box, directly impacting visibility and sales.
Dead Stock
A product that hasn’t sold in a while could be a sign that your pricing, visibility, or marketing needs a boost. This alert will prompt you to revisit these listings and ensure they are competitive and optimized for sales.
Benefit: Encourages you to review underperforming products, leading to more sales by making necessary improvements.
Maintaining Stock Cover
If a product is likely to go out of stock in the next few days based on sales trends and inventory levels, Repricer will flag it for you.
Benefit: Helps you take action to replenish stock before it runs out, avoiding lost sales and keeping your listings live.
Products with Significant Sales Drops
When a product experiences a significant drop in sales over a certain period, this flag will alert you to review the situation. The drop could be related to pricing issues, competition, or even stock availability.
Benefit: Helps you quickly identify and address potential issues before they affect your bottom line, ensuring that your products remain competitive.
Best Selling Products That Have Gone Out of Stock
If you had products that were best sellers but have since gone out of stock, you risk losing potential revenue. Repricer will notify you of these items, allowing you to restock and recapture those lost sales.
Benefit: Prevents revenue loss from out-of-stock bestsellers and helps you maintain consistent sales performance.
Best Selling Products
Your best-selling products are crucial to your business’s success, and Repricer will highlight them for you to ensure they are always competitively priced and adequately stocked.
Benefit: Keeps your top performers in optimal condition, ensuring they continue to generate revenue for your business.
