Changing Product Brand Names on Amazon Simplified

Retail MediaBlog

For brands selling on Amazon, having a consistent and accurate brand name across all product listings is crucial for maintaining a strong online presence. However, changing the backend attribute “brand name” for products already listed can be a daunting task, often met with frustration and roadblocks.

If you've ever tried to update the "brand" attribute on Amazon, you’ve likely encountered rejection messages like "The system won’t allow it" or "Once a product is listed, the brand attribute can't be changed".

This issue stems from Amazon’s reliance on GS1 data, a global standard used to verify product ownership. When the brand listed on Amazon doesn’t match the data Amazon has on file, changing the brand name becomes a challenge. But we have good news: there’s a solution to this.

  • Clear Communication with Amazon: Once the documentation is provided, we work with Amazon support to ensure that the brand name is updated seamlessly and without further issues. 
  • Long-Term Benefits: This process doesn’t just fix the immediate issue. It ensures that your brand is consistently represented across all listings and prevents future problems.
