Introducing a New Feature for the Jungle Scout Chrome Extension

Published on 2018-10-02

Hey Freedom Builders!

Today, I’m excited to announce the brand new feature to the world’s most accurate Amazon FBA sales estimation tool, the Jungle Scout Chrome Extension. Our team of developers, designers, and data scientists took your requests and added in what you wanted to see.

Come check it out!

What’s the Jungle Scout Chrome Extension?

The Jungle Scout Chrome Extension is an application that integrates directly into your Google Chrome Browser. When you open the application on an Amazon search results page (the page you see when you type something into the search bar and product ideas come up), the Chrome Extension offers you a real-time snapshot of important sales data such as Average Monthly Sales, Best Sellers Rank, Review Counts, and more. Learn more about the Jungle Scout Chrome Extension by clicking the button below.

What’s New with the Jungle Scout Chrome Extension?

I want to take a quick moment to point out that we’ve added a brand new column to the Jungle Scout Chrome Extension: Daily Sales Estimation (labeled A19 on the graphic below)!

What is the difference between Daily Sales Estimation and Monthly Sales Estimation?

Whereas monthly sales estimates are an aggregate of the past 30 days of sales which are calculated daily and added together, the daily sales estimate is a snapshot based on what the respective product has sold that day based on its current Best Sellers Rank.

What other features of the Jungle Scout Chrome Extension should I know about?

I could sit here and simply tell you about all of them, but I thought it’d be better just to show you:

The Jungle Scout Chrome Extension

If this is the first time you’ve seen the Chrome Extension broken out like this, you’re in luck. I’m going to show you exactly how each and every one of the many features that the Jungle Scout Chrome Extension comes with can help you find the perfect product to sell on Amazon FBA.

And don’t be intimidated!

Most folks never use more than the dashboard (the parts labeled ‘A’) to find profitable products. And you can do that, too!

I just wanted to make sure that you know every single thing that the Chrome Extension can do.

It truly is the best, all-in-one Amazon FBA product research tool, verifier, and finder in the world.
