Using words to reference your company
Within your EBC, you are not allowed to offer any external company contact information and any use of language that will attempt to redirect customers to other sites or your own is grounds for rejection.
Using trademark symbol

Check to see whether any of the product photos in the enhanced brand content have any of these symbols even if your brand has a copyrighted trademark.
Using more than two quotes
Incorporating quotes is limited up to two and if the seller wants to include product award information it should be presented along with a disclaimer stating its source.
Using poor quality images
When creating A+ one should avoid using images that contain watermarks or that contain unreadable text while also avoiding excessive duplicating from the main image block on the detail page.
Using an ASIN not recognized as part of your brand

Inaccurate GTIN or Key Attribute, when registering your brand you provided a GTIN such as

These attributes should be in your ASIN listing data.
Following the guidelines outlined above will help you and your team save time. If none of the above is there in your A+ or EBC and still has not been approved you can contact Amazon seller support.
