Amazon has quietly rolled out one of the most consequential updates to its Influencer Program in recent years: storefront followers are now receiving a weekly email, directly from Amazon, showcasing all new videos and posts from their favorite creators. This update may seem subtle, but its impact on Amazon influencers and social commerce creators is enormous. If you’re serious about maximizing your visibility, follower engagement, and – most importantly – your earnings, it’s time to rethink your content strategy and posting schedule. In this guide, we break down exactly what’s changed, why it matters, and actionable steps to harness this new channel for unprecedented growth.
What’s New: Direct Line to Your Warmest Audience
Previously, Amazon storefront followers might see your updates sporadically – only if they actively chose to browse your storefront or happened upon your videos inside the marketplace. Now, every single week, Amazon curates your new shoppable content into a single, elegant email and distributes it to every one of your followers.
“This is so big … every time you post a new video or content, everybody… will get an email that says, hey, these are the videos that your favorite creator just created… I think it’s one of the biggest things that Amazon did, so I’m happy about it.”

This direct delivery means your best audience – the people who chose to follow you – are seeing your latest recommendations, demos, and reviews with zero algorithmic friction. For creators fighting for attention in crowded marketplaces and on social media, this is a golden ticket to recurring, high-converting exposure.
Why This Update Changes the Game for Creators
Hyper-targeted exposure: Instead of hoping for social algorithms to show your videos and lists, your content is served straight to those who want it most.
Boosted conversions: Your followers are already invested – they’ve opted in. They trust your recommendations, and a weekly nudge can transform window-shopping into buying.
Sustained engagement: Creators with smart posting calendars can create momentum, as every new piece of content gets a second life inside these weekly recaps.
FOMO for non-followers: As word spreads, shoppers may be more motivated than ever to follow you, knowing they’ll get curated inspiration and expert picks.
How to Maximize Results from Amazon’s Weekly Emails
The opportunity is real, but it’ll go to those who plan strategically. Here’s what smart Amazon influencers are doing now:
Create Fresh, Regular Content: Post consistently – at least once or twice a week – so there’s always something new in your weekly email. Consider rotating product categories or targeting trending topics.
Strategic Timing: Test different posting days. Does uploading before the weekend boost performance? Track open and click rates using your Storefront analytics.
Engage Your Followers: Use social media, YouTube, and even your existing Amazon posts to let fans know about the weekly email. Encourage them to follow you for direct updates!
Plan Video Hooks: Remember, many people will scan the email before clicking. Use punchy titles and attention-grabbing thumbnails that make followers want to learn more.
Storefront Follower Growth: Your #1 Priority
This shift makes follower count a tangible revenue lever. The more followers, the bigger your email reach. Start campaigns encouraging existing viewers to follow your storefront. Try:
Adding a quick “Follow for more” at the end of every video
Running limited-time giveaways for new followers (while staying compliant with Amazon’s guidelines)
Collaborating with other influencers to cross-promote and share storefront links
Calls-to-Action: Dos and Don’ts for Video Content
The weekly email surge means your video CTAs matter more than ever – but recent confusion around Amazon’s rules has left creators questioning what’s safe. Webinar panelist Ileane Smith addressed this:
“Amazon wants authenticity and wants shoppers to feel like recommendations are genuine, not pushy. Overusing ‘click the link’ or ‘follow me’ in the video could risk compliance. Always prioritize real, helpful advice, then gently suggest following for more tips.”
Best Practices:
Keep all CTAs conversational and value-driven (“Follow if you love discovering these Amazon gems!”)
Avoid excessive use of “Click now,” “Buy now,” or direct instructions; focus instead on the why
Stay up-to-date with Amazon’s latest policy changes around shoppable content
Real-World Results: What Creators are Seeing
Early adopters of the new schedule report:
Noticeable spikes in video views and product clicks on Mondays or the morning after email delivery.
More DM engagement from followers referencing “your Amazon email.”
Improved conversion rates for new and seasonal products featured in fresh videos each week.
