Amazon advertising and promotion strategies: brand promotion, on-site and off-site promotion and new product launch techniques
Brand Advertising Overview
Sponsored Brands is an effective form of online advertising designed to increase brand awareness and attract buyers’ attention. Compared with Sponsored Products ads, Sponsored Brands ads are usually placed at the top of the search results page, which can increase product exposure and traffic. When buyers click on the brand logo, they will be directed to the brand flagship store or a customized landing page. This ad is placed in a way that can be targeted by keywords, and sellers only pay when a buyer clicks on the ad.
Ad type
- Product Collection Ads: Direct traffic to the brand flagship store and display the details page of a specific product.
- Video Ads: Use video formats to convey more information and typically have higher click and conversion rates.
When setting up these ads, sellers need to pay attention to the display effect and target audience positioning of each ad to achieve higher promotion efficiency.
On-site and off-site promotion strategies
In-site promotion
Promotion within the Amazon platform mainly includes the following methods:
- A+ Content and Brand Registration: Allows sellers to design customized product content.
- Flash Sales: Promote specific items to increase sales.
- Promotions and Coupons: Attract buyers to purchase products.
On-site promotion is mainly carried out through Amazon’s internal tools, which are easy to operate and have high potential conversions.
Off-site promotion
In terms of off-site promotion, sellers can use social media advertising (such as Facebook, Instagram) and search engine advertising (such as Google Ads) to direct traffic to Amazon product pages. At the same time, joining the Amazon affiliate program is also an effective way of off-site promotion. Although off-site promotion can bring more extensive traffic, you need to pay attention to the quality of the traffic to avoid the problem of low conversion rate.
Strategy for promoting new products
To effectively promote new products on Amazon, sellers should take the following steps:
- Make a schedule: Pay attention to product launch time and arrange promotional activities reasonably.
- Market research: Understand the market capacity, competitive products and target customer needs to choose appropriate logistics and pricing strategies.
- Optimize product listings: Design attractive product pages with reference to competitors’ product descriptions, titles and keywords.
- Traffic capture plan: Enable PPC advertising and increase product exposure through various traffic portals (such as brand flagship stores, bundled promotions, etc.).
- Data analysis and optimization: Regularly download data reports to optimize promotion strategies by analyzing advertising performance.
Cost and performance monitoring
Product promotion on the Amazon platform will incur expenses including advertising fees (PPC and Display advertising) and commissions. Reasonable setting of advertising budget and keyword optimization can help sellers improve advertising effectiveness and control costs. Using social media to implement promotional activities is also very effective.
An effective product promotion strategy that combines market research, clear goal setting, and ongoing data analysis will help sellers stand out in a highly competitive market.
