Sponsored Ads Review:
Let’s look at Amazon's sponsored ad options, including Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands, and Sponsored Displays.
There are three types of Amazon Ads and they are as below :
Sponsored Product: A type of Amazon ad that allows you to increase the visibility of individual products by targeting keywords or products.
Sponsored Brands: Customizable cost-per-click ads designed to help you discover and engage with customers. These ads allow you to showcase product collections, store spotlights, and videos.
Sponsored Display: A type of Amazon ad that helps drive awareness, consideration, and conversion with automatically generated display ads. These ads appear on and off Amazon and use the product and audience-based targeting to help you reach your goals.
Fundamentals of Amazon Ads: You have control over your budget, bids, and pay only when your ad is clicked. You can adjust your ads in real time.
Budget Basics:
Daily Budgets: For Sponsored Products and Sponsored Brands, this refers to the amount you're willing to spend each day, averaged over the course of a calendar month. You can change your daily budget at any time and take advantage of high-traffic days.
Lifetime Budgets: For Sponsored Brands, this refers to the total amount you're willing to spend on a campaign as long as it runs. This budget is spent as quickly as possible and not paced throughout the day. It's ideal for time-bound events.
Budget Rules:
Schedule-based budget rules: Ideal for shopping events, these rules apply only during the selected date range and include recommendations based on the products in your campaign. Available for all sponsored ads solutions.
Performance-based budget rules: Ideal for high-performing campaigns, these rules apply only when your campaigns meet certain performance thresholds such as ACOS, click-through rate, and conversion rates.
To avoid running out of budget, check your ad campaign manager for out-of-budget notifications and monitor your spending frequently.
Auctions and Cost-Per-Click Model: When shoppers search for items on Amazon, the platform runs different queries to decide which products to show. Sellers pay only for ads that shoppers click on.
Campaign Bidding Strategies:
Dynamic Bids Down Only: Ideal for new or underperforming campaigns to control spending.
Dynamic Bids Up and Down: Ideal for high-performing campaigns to maximize results and campaigns with excess inventory.
Fixed Bids: Ideal for driving impressions regardless of conversion, use if sales are not your only criteria.
Daily Budget: You can differentiate your bids and view performance by placement groups. Use placement bid adjustments up to 900% for the top of the search, product pages, and the rest of the search. If your objective is sales, consider using the Dynamic Bids Up and Down strategy to maximize conversion across placements. If your objective is short-term, adjust bids by placement to shift your ad impressions to specific placements.
Sponsored Bidding Placement: First use automated adjustments, then move to manual bidding. When bidding, consider the suggested bid and bid range, relevancy, expected traffic, performance, and budget.
