Amazon is one of the largest online retailers in the world, with a huge customer base and sales platform. It is one of the preferred platforms for many merchants to conduct e-commerce. To get more sales and exposure on Amazon, running an advertising campaign is essential. The following will introduce how to launch advertising campaigns for Amazon sellers.

Amazon offers a variety of advertising types, including Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands, Product Display Ads, and more. These advertising types can be selected for different product types and needs. Understanding the characteristics and applicable scenarios of different types of advertising can better formulate advertising plans and improve advertising effects.
Sponsored Products ads are the most commonly used type of ads on the Amazon platform. They are placed based on product keywords and displayed on search results pages and product detail pages. Sponsored Brands ads are placed on a brand basis and are usually displayed at the top or bottom of the search results page. Product Display Ads ads are placed based on the product category, related products or interests, and are displayed on the product details page.
2. Set advertising budget and bid.
Before launching an advertising campaign, you need to set a reasonable advertising budget and bid. Advertising budget refers to how much you are willing to spend on advertising within a certain period of time, while bid refers to how much you are willing to pay for each click or impression. Budget and bid setting should be based on the actual situation and advertising goals to avoid excessive consumption of advertising budget and inefficient delivery.
When setting bids, factors such as the competitiveness of the product, advertising goals, and placement should be taken into consideration. For example, for hot-selling products, the competitive pressure is greater, and the bids should be increased accordingly so that they can be displayed on the search results page. For new products or products that need to be more exposed, you can increase the bid appropriately to get more impressions on the search results page.
3. Select keywords and match them.
Keywords are the core of advertising. By choosing the correct keywords, you can effectively increase the exposure and click-through rate of your advertisement. When selecting keywords, you need to consider factors such as product attributes, competition, search volume, and advertising goals to avoid choosing keywords that are too broad or irrelevant, which will affect the effectiveness of advertising.

Exact match means that the ad will only be displayed when the search keyword exactly matches the product. Phrase match means that the ad will be displayed when the search keyword contains a specified phrase. Broad match means that the ad will be displayed when the search keyword contains variations, Synonyms and related words are displayed. Based on the actual situation and advertising goals, you can choose a suitable matching method to improve the click-through rate and delivery effect of your ads.
4. Optimize advertising creativity and landing pages.
Advertising creativity and landing page are two other important factors that affect advertising effectiveness. Excellent advertising creativity can attract users’ attention and increase the click-through rate and conversion rate of ads, while optimized landing pages can provide better user experience and purchasing experience, improve order conversion rate and customer satisfaction.
When writing advertising creatives, you need to pay attention to the use of keywords and the clarity and conciseness of the copy. At the same time, creative design can be carried out based on the selling points and characteristics of the product to attract users’ interest and desire to purchase. When optimizing the landing page, you need to pay attention to the loading speed of the page, the clarity of the product information, and the convenience of the purchase process to improve the user’s purchasing experience and customer satisfaction.
5. Track and analyze advertising effects.
Finally, tracking and analyzing advertising performance is a necessary step in optimizing advertising delivery. Amazon provides advertising reporting tools that can view advertising impressions, click-through rates, conversion rates and other data, analyze advertising effects and optimize advertising. Based on the data in the advertising report, keywords, bids, creatives, landing pages, etc. can be optimized to improve advertising effectiveness and ROI.
