Sponsored Product Ads: Amazon’s New Strategy to Reach More Customers on Other Platforms
In a significant move to reach more shoppers through digital ads, Amazon has announced that it will extend its sponsored product ads to other apps and websites, such as Pinterest, Buzzfeed, and more. Sponsored product ads are a type of pay-per-click (PPC) advertising that allows sellers to promote their products on Amazon and other platforms.
Sponsored product ads work by bidding on specific keywords or products that match potential customers' search queries or browsing behavior. The ads are displayed on the top, alongside, or within shopping results and product pages on Amazon, as well as on other apps and websites that partner with Amazon. The advertisers only pay when customers click on their ads, and they can control their costs by setting their own budget and bid amount.
In an official announcement, the company said that it is entering into a new path in its ‘Sponsored Products journey’ by extending Amazon selling partner campaigns to premium apps and websites that includes Pinterest, BuzzFeed, Hearst Newspapers, Raptive, and Ziff Davis brands like Lifehacker and Mashable etc. It added, ‘We will start small, learn, and expand as we see meaningful opportunities to enable delightful discovery and shopping experiences.’
Amazon claims that sponsored product ads can help advertisers achieve various objectives, such as increasing sales, boosting brand awareness, maximizing engagement, and building customer loyalty. Amazon also provides various resources and tools to help advertisers create, manage, and optimize their campaigns, such as guides, webinars, research, case studies, and certifications.
Colleen Aubrey, senior vice president, Amazon Ads Products and Technology said, “Sponsored Products has always been about helping customers discover products they may love, We’ve been building and evolving Sponsored Products in our store for more than 10 years, leveraging advanced machine learning algorithms to show advertising that’s highly relevant for customers, and therefore highly effective for the advertisers that choose to use it. We are excited to now apply what we’ve learned about connecting customers and products in meaningful ways to a range of great websites and apps.”
Amazon further states that Advertisers using Sponsored Products do not need to take any action to appear on these sites or apps as Sponsored Products ads will automatically show up when the system assumes that a customer is likely to be interested in a product. This system is based on relevant page context, the campaign, and cost-per-click parameters that sellers have already established.
