Amazon Brand Analytics Market Basket Analysis 2026: Boost Cross-Sells

By Rafirit Station Editorial Team · Updated 2026 · ⏱ 12 min read

Market basket analysis is one of the most underutilized features inside Amazon Brand Analytics. According to McKinsey, product recommendations based on market basket analysis can increase cross-sell revenue by 10-30% (source). Yet only 12% of Amazon sellers actively use it.

In 2026, Amazon’s algorithm increasingly prioritizes listing relevance and conversion rate. Understanding which products customers buy together gives you a direct edge in positioning your offers. For sellers in Bangladesh—where the e-commerce market is growing at 25% annually (per e-CAB)—this data is gold.

Not using market basket analysis costs you real money. A typical Dhaka-based seller with ৳50,00,000 in monthly revenue could be missing out on ৳7,50,000 to ৳15,00,000 in additional cross-sell revenue per month. That’s enough to rent a 2 BHK apartment in Gulshan for a year.

By the end of this guide, you’ll know exactly how to pull market basket reports from Brand Analytics, interpret the data, and create actionable bundles and cross-sell strategies that increase your AOV and overall sales.

Phase 1: Extract the Market Basket Report from Brand Analytics

The first step is getting access to the Market Basket Report. Note: You need to be a brand-registered seller with Amazon Brand Analytics enabled under your seller central account.

Tactic 1.1: Navigate to the Report

Why this works: The report is hidden in plain sight. 73% of sellers never navigate past the main dashboard. Knowing exactly where to click saves 15-20 minutes per session.

Exactly how to do it:

1. Log in to Seller Central and go to Brand Analytics (under “Brands” tab).
2. Click “Market Basket Analysis” from the left sidebar.
3. Select the date range: Choose last 30 days for recent insights or last 90 days for seasonality.
4. Choose a product category (e.g., Electronics, Home & Kitchen). Start with your best-selling ASINs.
5. Click “Download Report” to get a CSV file.
6. Open the CSV in Google Sheets or Excel.
7. Rename columns: ASIN, Title, Co-purchased ASIN, Co-purchased Title, Count (frequency of co-purchase).

Pro script / template: In the search bar, type your main ASIN, then filter by “Market Basket > 5” to see only strong pairs. Copy these into a new sheet labeled “High Potential Pairs.”

📊 Expected results: You’ll have a clean dataset of 50-200 co-purchased products within 10 minutes. The report shows you exactly which products customers buy together the most.

Tactic 1.2: Calculate Co-Purchase Strength Metrics

Why this works: Raw counts can be misleading. A product that sells 1,000 units a month will naturally have high co-purchase counts. You need to normalize.

Exactly how to do it:

1. Add a column for “Support” = co-purchase count / total transactions (calculate total transactions from your product’s sales data).
2. Add a column for “Confidence” = co-purchase count / (count of transactions where your product is bought).
3. Add a column for “Lift” = Confidence / (baseline probability of the other product being bought alone).
4. Sort by Lift descending to find the most interesting pairs.
5. Focus on pairs with Lift > 2 (meaning they are at least twice as likely to be bought together than by chance).
6. Filter out pairs where the co-purchased product is a direct competitor or too expensive.

Pro script / template: Use this formula for Lift: =([@Confidence]/([Other product total sales]/[Total transactions])) – 1. If Lift > 3, it’s a golden pair.

📊 Expected results: You’ll identify 5-15 high-lift pairs within 30 minutes. For a Dhaka seller of kitchen gadgets, we found a pair with Lift 4.2: “spice rack” and “measuring spoons.”

Tactic 1.3: Segment by Basket Size and Customer Tier

Why this works: Not all co-purchases are created equal. Customers with larger baskets (e.g., 5+ items) behave differently from those buying just 2 items. Tier targeting increases conversion by 18%.

Exactly how to do it:

1. Export your own order history for the same period.
2. Create three segments: Small baskets (2-3 items), Medium (4-5), Large (6+).
3. For each segment, run a separate market basket analysis report (if possible) or approximate using your data.
4. Identify top 3 co-purchased pairs for each segment.
5. Cross-reference with Brand Analytics to validate.
6. Create separate bundles or cross-sell strategies per segment.

Pro script / template: “Based on your Amazon Brand Analytics market basket analysis, we recommend segmenting by basket size. Create a ‘Small Bundle’ for first-time buyers and a ‘Premium Combo’ for repeat customers.”

📊 Expected results: Segmentation can lift conversion on bundle offers by 25-40%. Expect to set up segment targeting in 2 hours.

Phase 2: Identify High-Potential Product Pairs

Now you have a list of co-purchased products. Not all are actionable. Let’s filter for the most profitable and feasible ones.

Tactic 2.1: Profit Margin Analysis

Why this works: A co-purchase might be frequent but have low margins. Prioritize pairs where both products have at least 30% margin.

Exactly how to do it:

1. Pull your individual product profit margins from seller central reports.
2. Add a column for “Combined Profit” = profit per unit from your product + profit from co-purchased product.
3. Filter for pairs where combined profit > ৳500 (for typical Dhaka seller).
4. Remove any product with return rate > 10%.
5. Rank by combined profit descending.
6. Select top 10 pairs for bundling.

Pro script / template: “If your ASIN A (profit ৳200) pairs with ASIN B (profit ৳150), combined profit ৳350 per transaction. Across 100 transactions/month, that’s ৳35,000 additional profit.”

📊 Expected results: You’ll eliminate 60% of low-value pairs. The top 10 pairs should generate at least 80% of potential revenue.

Tactic 2.2: Inventory and Supply Check

Why this works: Nothing kills a bundle faster than stockouts. Check inventory levels before investing in a bundle.

Exactly how to do it:

1. Check current FBA and FBM inventory for both products in each pair.
2. Ensure at least 30-day supply at current sales rate for both.
3. Check lead times from suppliers (especially if sourcing from Bangladesh).
4. For high-potential pairs, order extra stock to cover 60 days of anticipated bundle sales.
5. Set up a replenishment alert in Seller Central.

Pro script / template: “We recommend ordering 2x your normal monthly quantity for both products if you plan to promote the bundle. For Dhaka-based sellers, allow 15-20 days for supplier delivery.”

📊 Expected results: Avoid stockout on bundle items by 90%. Preparation takes 1-2 days.

Tactic 2.3: Competitive Landscape Review

Why this works: If competitors already offer a similar bundle or cross-sell, you need to differentiate or avoid price wars.

Exactly how to do it:

1. Search Amazon for the specific product bundle or “you might also like” suggestions for the co-purchased product.
2. Check if any seller already has a bundle listing or variation.
3. Compare pricing: if competitor bundle is priced lower than your combined individual pricing, adjust.
4. Look at customer reviews for competitor bundles – note any complaints.
5. If the space is crowded, consider a “premium” bundle with added value (e.g., e-book, warranty).

Pro script / template: “We searched ‘kitchen scale + measuring cups’ and found four bundles. One had 2.5 stars due to poor packaging. We can beat that by using better packaging and including a recipe card.”

📊 Expected results: Identify a clear competitive angle. This step takes 1-2 hours per high-priority pair.

Phase 3: Create Bundles and Cross-Sell Strategies

Now you have validated pairs. Time to execute.

Tactic 3.1: Create Virtual Bundles via Amazon’s Bundle Tool

Why this works: Virtual bundles allow you to combine two products without physically packaging them together. Amazon handles fulfillment separately.

Exactly how to do it:

1. Go to Seller Central > Inventory > Create a Virtual Bundle.
2. Select your chosen pair (must be FBA eligible).
3. Set a bundle price: aim for 10-15% off combined individual prices.
4. Write a compelling bundle title: “Product A + Product B – [Benefit]” Include keywords.
5. Upload a main image showing both products together.
6. Add a bullet point: “Save ৳XX when you buy together – based on Amazon Brand Analytics data.”
7. Submit for review (usually approved within 48 hours).

Pro script / template: Bundle title example: “Stainless Steel Measuring Cups Set + Collapsible Measuring Spoons – Perfect Baking Combo (Market Basket Verified)”

📊 Expected results: Virtual bundles typically see a 15-30% increase in combined sales. Launch within 3 days.

Tactic 3.2: Optimize Your Product Detail Page with Cross-Sell Copy

Why this works: Many customers never see the ‘Frequently Bought Together’ widget. You can pre-sell the pair in your product description.

Exactly how to do it:

1. In your product bullet points, add: “Customers who bought this also purchased [co-product]. Save by buying both – search for our bundle [Bundle ASIN].”
2. In the product description, include a short section: “Market Basket Pairing Idea: Pair this with [co-product] for a complete set.”
3. Use A+ Content to create a comparison chart showing the bundle vs. buying separately.
4. Add a Q&A: “What other products go with this?” – answer with your bundle.
5. Update your product image (main or secondary) to show the bundle.
6. Use backend keywords: bundle, combo, set.

Pro script / template: “📦 BUNDLE SAVINGS: Based on Amazon Brand Analytics market basket analysis, most customers buy this with our Premium Carrying Case. Get both and save ৳450 – click here: [link].”

📊 Expected results: Cross-sell copy can increase conversion rate by 8-15%. Implement in 1 hour per ASIN.

Tactic 3.3: Launch Targeted Sponsored Products Campaigns

Why this works: You can directly target customers searching for one product with an ad for the bundle.

Exactly how to do it:

1. Create a new Sponsored Products campaign for the bundle ASIN.
2. Set keyword targeting: use the individual product ASINs of the co-purchased product.
3. Also target keywords: “for [product A]” or “with [product A]”.
4. Set a moderate bid (start at suggested bid).
5. Create an ad copy highlighting savings: “Buy together and save 15% – Market Basket Pick”.
6. Monitor ACOS – expect 20-30% initially.
7. Add negative keywords to avoid competing with yourself.

Pro script / template: “Ad copy for electronics: ‘You bought the wireless mouse? Complete your setup with our ergonomic keyboard – bundle now and save ৳600!'”

📊 Expected results: Bundles promoted with Sponsored Products see 40-60% higher click-through rate than single-product ads. Launch within 2 days.

Phase 4: Test, Measure, and Iterate

Bundling is not set-and-forget. Use data to refine.

Tactic 4.1: A/B Test Bundle Pricing and Position

Why this works: The optimal discount and offer placement can vary. Testing ensures maximum conversion.

Exactly how to do it:

1. Create two versions of your bundle offering: one with 10% discount, one with 15%.
2. Run them for two weeks each (or use Amazon’s Manage Your Experiments).
3. Track conversion rate, units sold, and profit per visit.
4. Also test placement: cross-sell in description vs. A+ content vs. Sponsored Brands.
5. Analyze results: pick the winner and implement.
6. Repeat every 90 days.

Pro script / template: “We tested a 10% vs 15% discount on a kitchen bundle. 15% drove 22% more units but profit per sale dropped 7%. Net profit was 8% higher with 10% discount. Don’t assume bigger discount is better.”

📊 Expected results: A/B testing can improve bundle profit by 10-20% per iteration. Run tests monthly.

Tactic 4.2: Monitor Brand Analytics for New Patterns

Why this works: Co-purchase patterns change due to seasonality, new products, or competitor actions.

Exactly how to do it:

1. Set a monthly calendar reminder to re-download the Market Basket Report.
2. Create a tracking sheet with previous month’s top pairs.
3. Note any new pairs that appear.
4. Check if existing bundles are still appearing in the report.
5. If a bundle disappears, investigate (maybe customers stopped buying together).
6. Adjust your strategy accordingly: retire low-performing bundles, launch new ones.

Pro script / template: “In our monthly review, we noticed a surge in ‘charger + cable’ co-purchases. We quickly created a bundle and saw ৳1,20,000 extra revenue in 30 days.”

📊 Expected results: Stay ahead of competitor bundles. Monthly monitoring takes 2 hours.

Tactic 4.3: Expand to Multi-Item Bundles

Why this works: Once you have validated pairs, you can combine three or more products for higher AOV.

Exactly how to do it:

1. Identify clusters of frequently co-purchased products from your data.
2. Create a 3-item virtual bundle if inventory allows.
3. Price it at 15-20% off combined individual prices.
4. Market it as a “Complete Kit” or “Starter Set”.
5. Advertise on Sponsored Brands with a lifestyle image.
6. Track average order value – aim for 2x the single product AOV.

Pro script / template: “For a newborn baby products seller, we created a ‘New Mom Essential Kit’ with 5 items. Bundle sales hit 400 units/month, increasing AOV from ৳1,200 to ৳3,500.”

📊 Expected results: Multi-item bundles can boost AOV by 150-250%. Launch within 1 week.

🏆 Real Case Study: How a Dhaka-Based Electronics Seller Increased Revenue by 34% with Market Basket Analysis

Client Profile: A Dhaka-based seller (let’s call them “TechMart”) selling laptop accessories on Amazon.com. Before working with us, they had 200 SKUs and monthly revenue of ৳45,00,000. They were struggling with low AOV (৳1,200) and high PPC costs.

BEFORE:

• Monthly revenue: ৳45,00,000
• Average order value: ৳1,200
• Cross-sell rate: 8%
• Main product: Laptop stand (highest seller)
• PPC ACOS: 35%

EXACT strategy we implemented:

1. Extracted Market Basket report from Brand Analytics for the Laptop stand ASIN.
2. Found top co-purchased products: cooling pad (Lift 3.8), USB hub (Lift 2.9), laptop sleeve (Lift 2.1).
3. Created a virtual bundle: Laptop Stand + Cooling Pad, discounted 12%.
4. Added cross-sell copy on the laptop stand listing: “Customers who buy this stand also buy our cooling pad – save ৳450 with the bundle.”
5. Launched Sponsored Products targeting the ASIN of the cooling pad.
6. Optimized A+ Content to show the bundle benefit.
7. Monitored monthly and added a 3-item bundle (stand + pad + hub) after 45 days.

AFTER (3 months):

• Monthly revenue: ৳60,30,000 (↑ 34%)
• Average order value: ৳1,800 (↑ 50%)
• Cross-sell rate: 22% (↑ 175%)
• Bundle sales contributed 18% of total revenue
• PPC ACOS dropped to 22% due to higher conversion rate from bundles

Client Quote: “Market basket analysis was a game changer. We were blind to the connections between our products. Now we actively bundle and our customers love the convenience.” — Rafiq, Owner of TechMart
