class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As a seller, one of the most important things for the survival of your business is getting traffic. Traffic is what makes your world go round. With higher traffic comes more impressions and possible conversions from customers. It is the lifeline of any e-commerce business that thrives on online marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most effective ways of gaining traffic is by running ad campaigns. And when it comes to advertisements, AMZ has its in-house ad platform also known as <a href=\"https:\/\/sell.amazon.com\/advertising\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Amazon Sponsored Ads.<\/a> Amazon Sponsored Products is one of the four types of AMZ Sponsored Ads available to sellers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sponsored Products are the usual ads that customers see on Amazon. They look like individual product listings and can appear within shopping result pages or detailed product pages. If you are a third-party seller on Amazon, this is usually the option that is available to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because Sponsored Products are generated from your existing product listings, running these ads isn\u2019t too complicated. All you have to do is choose the product you want to promote, choose the keywords that will trigger the ads, and finally choose what kind of match you want to use (exact, broad, or phrase)<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/9PIs9BeqJiuNZt5DsnAEYNE1eZ2YXXkzm4e-EVYk0xFUPqBeIpR1JCSA_YkP8qHXrya15iWimJQIuvFh_aiP3BFVJeeCwXaF-0coYzi1vPiGWQl9clMpV13ZSsL5zJHnwVSnRNpp\" alt=\"amazon sponsored products\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Sponsored Products use CPC as their ad model. With this model, sellers can bid the maximum amount that they are willing to pay for a click. When a visitor or a shopper clicks the ads for one of the seller\u2019s products, that is only the time when the bid is honored. The more competitive the bids are, the higher the chances of the ads being displayed when they match the customer\u2019s search query.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Are_Amazon_Sponsored_Products_Effective\"><\/span>Why Are Amazon Sponsored Products Effective?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Because sponsored product listings look almost the same as organic search results, more customers are enticed to click on them. Some customers won&#8217;t even know the difference between an organic search result and a sponsored product listing. This is an advantage that makes the AMZN Sponsored Products effective in showcasing the most relevant products to customers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_Are_Eligible_To_Use_Sponsored_Products\"><\/span>Who Are Eligible To Use Sponsored Products?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Amazon Sponsored products are accessible to professional sellers, vendors, KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) Authors, book vendors, and agencies. To become eligible for the advertising platform, the product you are promoting must be in one of the non-restricted categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Related: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/sellers-guide-to-selling-in-amazon-restricted-categories\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">A Guide To Amazon Restricted Categories<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Should_Sellers_Run_Amazon_Sponsored_Products_Ads\"><\/span>Why Should Sellers Run Amazon Sponsored Products Ads?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several reasons why a seller might want to run sponsored advertisements. And we have specified the three most common reasons below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"To_Get_Discovered\"><\/span>To Get Discovered<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The first reason to run an ad campaign is obviously to get discovered. Advertising can boost the visibility of brands and products, which can lead to sales. And because AMZ integrates its ads with organic search results very well, visibility is greatly improved. Sponsored product ads can appear within shopping listings, product pages, and search results.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"To_Increase_Sales\"><\/span>To Increase Sales<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many shoppers go to AMZ not only to compare and research products. Most people go there to browse, but they are also ready to buy. They have already decided on the things they need to purchase. They just need a little push toward your product. And what\u2019s the best way to push your product in front of these people who are ready to make a purchase? Advertisements! With a well-targeted ad, you can quickly convert a visitor into a customer and increase your sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!-- Error, Advert is not available at this time due to schedule\/geolocation restrictions! -->\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Control_Marketing_Costs\"><\/span>Control Marketing Costs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/the-amazon-ppc-guide-for-beginners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pay Per Click marketing<\/a>, you will be able to see all the data on your advertising costs. You will also be able to see your ROAS (return on ad spent) so you can make better decisions regarding your expenditures. You can turn off ads that are not doing well and focus on the ones that do.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike print or display media advertising (on television) where you don\u2019t have concrete numerical data to back it up, AMZ sponsored ads can give you this option. And because you have total control over your marketing costs, you can be more efficient when it comes to spending ad money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Track_Your_Success\"><\/span>Track Your Success<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Scalability and expansion are some of the most important reasons why running ads is important for e-commerce sellers. But the ability to track your success and see your progress is also invaluable. With AMZ, you can see and track all of the essential information about your ad campaigns. With this, you can make data-driven decisions that will ultimately lead you to success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Amazon_Sponsored_Products_vs_Other_Sponsored_Ads\"><\/span>Amazon Sponsored Products vs Other Sponsored Ads <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from Sponsored Products, there are 3 other Sponsored ad types on Amazon. These are<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sponsored Brands<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sponsored Display<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Amazon Stores<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on what kind of entrepreneur you are on AMZ, you can maximize your views and traffic by making the most out of these different options. Let&#8217;s talk a look at how Sponsored Products differ from other Sponsored Ad types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sponsored_Products_vs_Sponsored_Brands\"><\/span>Sponsored Products vs Sponsored Brands<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like third-party sellers, brand owners can also run ad campaigns for their brands. This is where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/amazon-brand-registry\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"9456\">Sponsored Brands<\/a> come in. AMZ brands can use creative ways to get their ad to appear in several relevant Amazon shopping results. This is one of the best ways for brand owners to get the audience to engage with their brands with customer headings, logos, headlines, images, and even videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The difference between AMZN Sponsored Products vs Sponsored Brands is that brands have more options available to them. For example, Sponsored Brands can use a custom logo and banner on their ads. This isn&#8217;t available for Sponsored Products. Also, if you aren&#8217;t a brand owner, you can&#8217;t use Sponsored Brands too. You need to be registered in the AMZN Brand Registry before you can start running Sponsored Brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Sponsored Brands, brand owners can direct traffic to their custom stores. When a customer clicks on a brand\u2019s custom banner or logo, they will get redirected to the brand\u2019s AMZ store. Similarly, when a customer clicks on the products or categories that are placed within AMZ\u2019s search query results, the customer will be redirected to the brand\u2019s product pages.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/3oLGVky59MgAxtCqQPRYqpAw31--1_ijxqj5ZVxHGZIX5rJrsa_GbGZBknDQg_az-VvnxEKnRJoTmPE7CUztwu6eBgUysKGyVORX2Ocmt_BKBI5pT1D5nlg1i7tBug_Hpyne7_bP\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Just like Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands also uses CPC as their ad model. Thus, brands only pay for their ad placements once customers click on one of their ads. This allows brand owners to create more exposure and awareness around their brand name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sponsored Brands are accessible only to sellers who have enrolled themselves in the Amazon Brand Registry. Other business owners such as vendors and agencies are also allowed to use this ad platform model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Related: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/amazon-brand-registry\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How To Sign Up For Amazon Brand Registry<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sponsored_Products_vs_Sponsored_Display\"><\/span>Sponsored Products vs Sponsored Display<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sponsored Display lets vendors and brand owners engage and inspire customers throughout their shopping experience. This is achieved through entertaining, self-serving, targeted, and programmatic display advertisements.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/1ndK6mp6vYU2moTMKlLoAyC5RL7A8bJSeiJRNFZz3tvoUKcjDAlgKAwxJ-X-qfXswyq7iDsmSicbD1H1egZCZ7WQcLGAusj5a5FHy9pN0D-chLwBFr-Vrjfd0N_aAaDQKaQ9GTmJ\" alt=\"Sponsored products vs sponsored display\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>One big difference between Sponsored Products and Sponsored Display is how the ads are displayed. While Amazon Sponsored Products and Sponsored Brands use keyword queries to target customers, Sponsored Display is different. It uses AMZ\u2019s audience demographics information to target and retarget audiences based on their shopping behavior. And because these customers have already viewed your product or similar products, the conversion rate is often higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Sponsored Products, a customer needs to type a keyword query first before the ads can be triggered. With Sponsored Display, the ads are shown based on the behavior of the customer. If the customer keeps on browsing for &#8220;dog beds&#8221; for example, the Sponsored Display ads will retarget this behavior and show more products related to the &#8220;dog bed&#8221; niche.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like Sponsored Brands, Sponsored Display is available only to sellers who are enrolled in the Amazon Brand Registry. Book vendors, product vendors, and agencies are also accepted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sponsored_Products_vs_Amazon_Stores\"><\/span>Sponsored Products vs Amazon Stores<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With Amazon stores, vendors, professional sellers, and agencies can create a custom landing page where they can display all their product offerings. This immersive experience is where store owners can introduce their brand\u2019s mission and vision to their audiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An Amazon Store looks like a standalone e-commerce website, similar to what a Shopify store looks like. You can customize these stores easily through predesigned, drag-and-drop tile templates. This makes creating a store so much easier, even for those without coding or developer experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/B7ITtEz_Hr88o55tHCB_6kW2PAFtQTF3HyigozH6gi6R4e9pdSPtNphxhjpgB0lYSx1s7T8ULhsBFTpae57NBr9ls3ItweXWU1qXp-j1xSkFgjFmLinr2T3aS0yFBLcTRCgK0xQt\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>According to AMZ, stores with 3 or more pages have almost 80% dwell times and 30% higher sales attributed to store visits. Stores that are updated within the past 3 months also have 20% more repeat visitors compared to normal seller product pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The difference between Amazon Stores is that they are standalone platforms where brands, vendors, and sellers can showcase all of their products. Sponsored Products, on the other hand, are an advertising method to get customers to visit your product pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Get_Started_With_Amazon_Sponsored_Products\"><\/span>How To Get Started With Amazon Sponsored Products?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ready to start your first AMZN Sponsored Product campaign?

Choose Sponsored Products to start promoting your products to shoppers through keyword triggers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"915\" height=\"523\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image-7.png\" alt=\"Amazon Sponsored ads type\" class=\"wp-image-11644\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image-7.png 915w, https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image-7-300x171.png 300w, https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image-7-768x439.png 768w, https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image-7-150x86.png 150w, https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image-7-450x257.png 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 915px) 100vw, 915px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, you can add your Campaign Name and choose a portfolio of products you want to promote. You can set the Start and End date of your campaign, as well as the daily budget. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Optimize_Your_Campaigns\"><\/span><strong>Optimize Your Campaigns<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After launching your campaigns, the next step is to optimize them for maximum efficiency. Since most sponsored ads are cost-per-click, you only get charged when a customer clicks them. So make sure that you have informative titles that tell the customers about what you are selling. Having awesome images can help in the conversion rates too.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"671\" height=\"742\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image-9.png\" alt=\"amazon sponsored ads system\" class=\"wp-image-11646\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image-9.png 671w, https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image-9-271x300.png 271w, https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image-9-150x166.png 150w, https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image-9-450x498.png 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 671px) 100vw, 671px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Automatic targeting<\/strong><\/em> means that AMZN will target the keywords and products that are similar to the products in your ad. Manual targeting means you will be the ones to choose the keywords or products that will trigger your ads. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Campaign bidding strategy<\/strong><\/em> is how you want to bid per click. Dynamic bids mean that your bids might go up or down (depending on your chosen setting), which can result in more views but also higher costs. Fixed bids mean that you will make a manual adjustment and AMZN won&#8217;t change your bids in real-time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!-- Error, Advert is not available at this time due to schedule\/geolocation restrictions! -->\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Choose_Products_To_Advertise\"><\/span>Choose Products To Advertise<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you have adjusted the initial settings, the next step is to choose the products to advertise. You can manually choose the products you want to add. You can also enter or upload a list to make it easier if you are running ads on hundreds of products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1002\" height=\"584\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image-10.png\" alt=\"Product data from amazon\" class=\"wp-image-11650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image-10.png 1002w, https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image-10-300x175.png 300w, https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image-10-768x448.png 768w, https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image-10-150x87.png 150w, https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image-10-450x262.png 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1002px) 100vw, 1002px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, you can optimize your campaigns even more by adding \u201cnegative keywords\u201d to remove or filter unwanted traffic. For example, you can add the negative keyword \u201cfree\u201d or \u201cdiscounted\u201d. This simple act will stop your ads from appearing to people who are looking to get free products by using the keywords \u201cfree\u201d or \u201cdiscounted\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"968\" height=\"419\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image-11.png\" alt=\"Negative keyword targeting\" class=\"wp-image-11651\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image-11.png 968w, https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image-11-300x130.png 300w, https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image-11-768x332.png 768w, https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image-11-150x65.png 150w, https:\/\/www.zonbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image-11-450x195.png 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 968px) 100vw, 968px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You will be able to track and see your campaign stats and progress in your AMZ Seller Account.
