Listen "The Evolution of Amazon Advertising and How to Get Ready for What’s Coming Next"
Episode Synopsis
Key Takeaways It’s a huge advantage for sellers to get on top of Amazon’s new features early. Not only will you beat the competition but getting in early usually results in favorable CPCs and/or winning top placements. Amazon continues to add new targeting methods, new ways to bid, and new ways to reach different audiences. New features always provide better ways for sellers and advertisers to gain more control of their ads. Sellers and advertisers should always assess how a new feature will impact strategy and audience. Not all of Amazon’s new features will be widely communicated. Sellers need to pay close attention to their ad consoles for updates. If you don’t see incredible results right out of the gate, don’t give up on the new feature. Always test these new features repeatedly since Amazon is continuously fine-tuning these tools. OverviewEver wonder what the future of Amazon advertising looks like?
