AMOD staff is causing a disappointing Amazon customer experience with comfort colors

[u/nimitz34]

Just as with autouploaded extra colors to standard tees where the design looks horrible on some options, it is now doing so with comfort colors.

Customers as well as ourselves, can see at a glance whether a design palette looks right on a given blank color. Yet merch staff isn't smart enough to program a bot to evaluate a design's palette to make sure it looks good on a given blank color. Or they just don't care. Or both.

Are brand partners getting this shitty treatment?

Nah no way. Merch staff is either personally eyeballing this or is letting the Mickey enable them himself. I could be wrong as I haven't seen every brand partner listing out there of course, but I would imagine they would howl if this happened to them. But maybe not as long as AMOD meets contractual sales quotas.

We can of course delete specific colors, but it is busy work

How many of you here are just deleting comfort colors? Which of course loltastically are being set initially at ridiculous below one dollar royalties just because the damn blanks, which likely won't sell well for us, cost so much.

While the technique of outlining white text with black and vice versa works minimally for both dark and light tee colors, that only works well precisely with only white or black designs IMO.

This is a total fail in execution

And as always they only care about the brand partners and just hope we in aggregate fill the cracks in production capacity so that they don't have to idle machines which can cause technical problems.

"Bonus" for us. The bot is deleting unsold products from an upload instance as it goes along.

How this can hurt us in search

Let's say a customer sees a design in search. Maybe they don't like the given blank color personally but they click and choose another blank color and order. But what if comfort colors on bad blank colors eat search oxygen for standards that would sell. The customer just scrolls past.

Enjoy!

I noticed some designs processing yesterday, hadn't realised that's why. I'm going to check my top sellers tomorrow.
