Brand Registry
If a brand is not already on Amazon then to create listing under that brand it will need to be registered under brand registry. If there are already products under that brand on Amazon then the brand should be registered in any case as it will allow the brand owner to ‘own’ that brand on Amazon, allowing them to amend product listings, kick off counterfeits and run Sponsored brand campaigns.
Once a brand has been registered in Brand registry, then the brand owner will be able to launch a branded storefront for this brand.
There will be a link on each product to this branded storefront.
Other benefits of registering a brand is that the brand owner can create A+ content and run Sponsored Brand campaigns.
