Amazon Ads: Expanding Beyond Sponsored Products for Greater Success

With Amazon ramping up the volume and size of ad placements, organic listings are increasingly pushed down the page. To thrive on Amazon, it's crucial to diversify advertising strategies beyond bottom-funnel tactics and leverage various ad types to engage shoppers at every touchpoint.

Moving Beyond Sponsored Products

Most advertisers begin with Sponsored Products to capture high-intent shoppers and drive sales. However, it's essential to know when to expand to middle-funnel and upper-funnel ads. Here are key indicators for expansion:

• Assess Non-Branded Performance: If Sponsored Products level out, it's time to explore other ways to drive category growth.
• Sponsored Brands and Sponsored Display Ads: These tactics boost visibility, control messaging with custom imagery and video, and protect branded search results from competitors.

Sponsored Brands: Telling Your Story

Sponsored Brands ads, positioned at the top of search results, are a visually striking way to capture attention. These ads allow tight control over your message, making them ideal for highlighting unique products. Create a consistent strategy that unites brand voice across all platforms and ads, generating demand from first awareness, to conversion, to sustained loyalty.

Sponsored Display: Non-Branded Growth

Sponsored Display ads offer diverse placements and use cases. They can defend your product pages from competitors, enhance cross-sell or upsell opportunities, and introduce audience targeting. This makes Sponsored Display a great entry point to Amazon DSP.

Amazon DSP: The Next Step

If Sponsored Ads have saturated your customer base, Amazon DSP is ideal for further growth. It helps in:

• Scaling New-to-Brand Customer Acquisition
• Amplifying Brand Presence
• Driving Incremental Sales

With granular targeting options, Amazon DSP allows brands to curate audiences and extend reach. Its creative flexibility supports personalized branding efforts, from Lifestyle imagery to Product-centric visuals.
