Sponsored Products: Sponsored Products are paid ads appearing on the first search results page for specific queries. Billed per click, they are ideal for new or lower-ranked products. Prerequisites include a professional seller account, activated campaigns for the product category, Buy Box ownership, and a competitive CPC bid.
Automatic Campaign: Requires minimal input, relying on Amazon’s keyword selection based on the product listing. While easy to set up, it offers less control over ad display.
Manual Campaign: Involves detailed keyword selection, allowing precise control over ad display. While more effort-intensive, it offers focused targeting and keyword-specific CPC bids.
Product Orientation: Sponsored Products can now appear on product detail pages through category and product targeting. This strategy involves selecting competitors or product categories for advertisement, providing flexibility and targeting options.
Sponsored Brands: Formerly known as Headline Search Ads, Sponsored Brands display three similar products prominently on search results pages. Prerequisites include participation in Amazon Marketing Services (AMS) or having a registered brand via the Amazon trademark application.
Product Display Ads: Exclusive to Vendor/Vendor Express program participants, Product Display Ads can be displayed on product detail pages, search results, or customer reviews. Unlike other options, these ads are not keyword-related and rely on interest-based or product targeting.
Conclusion: Amazon offers three distinct advertising options to enhance product visibility. Sponsored Products are ideal for new products, Sponsored Brands Ads promote brand visibility, and Product Display Ads ensure prominent display on product detail pages. Regular monitoring and optimization are key to maximizing the benefits of ad placements.
