Advertising is an integral ingredient of growing your business on Amazon. Amazon is one of the world’s largest online marketplaces, with 223.72 million visitors each month. This means that the competition among sellers to get their products in front of consumers is much more intense.
Amazon has invested much in the development and enhancement of its advertising platform in recent years. It enables Amazon sellers to create campaigns to advertise their products and pay only when users click (PPC). When executed properly, Amazon PPC can raise your sales, improve your brand’s reputation and awareness, and provide you with a competitive advantage over your rivals in your sector.
Setting up effective strategies and analyzing Amazon’s PPC performance has become a nuisance for many sellers. To ensure that everything runs well, big brands hire the finest experts in the industry. But don’t worry; by working on PPC wisely and using it correctly you can compete with the top sellers on Amazon.
Why is PPC difficult?
Many businesses come to us frustrated, upset that they’ve invested a significant amount of money without seeing any returns. This is often the case even with firms that have devoted and experienced marketing departments, and it’s all due to a lack of proper PPC knowledge and false strategy. There are so many choices to make, and each one has the potential to sabotage an otherwise successful campaign. Sometimes campaigns that should work simply do not. That’s infuriating, but it’s, unfortunately, the norm.
When you aren’t interacting closely with a PPC strategy on a regular basis, it’s difficult to know what’s normal and what isn’t, making it even more difficult to determine whether certain strategies are working or flopping. There is no starting point.
Why do PPC Campaigns fail?
Getting fancy with keywords is not the key. In order to maximize the success of your PPC, you must thoroughly research your keywords, do a deep competitor & product analysis, and get to know the market with a keen eye. You need to beware of the traffic you don’t want to attract and use such negative keywords.
Wondering what Amazon advertising mistakes you are making?
You’ll discover the 5 most typical mistakes sellers make while launching their campaigns for the first time, as well as how to avoid them, in the section below.
- Understand your campaign structure types: Choosing the right mix of match types across the scope of keywords is critical since it determines the relevancy and weight of each in the campaign. Mostly people targets all match types (broad, exact, and phrase) in a single ad group which is not effective and is not considered a good practice. Targeting one at a time within a single campaign or ad group to determine what is effective and what should be paused is the key.
- Optimize automatic PPC campaigns: Automated PPC campaigns are easy to set up, do not require manual placements, and can assist you in identifying high-converting placements for future ads. However, because they are automatically tuned, you may find spending the same price for high-converting, low-converting, and non-converting keywords.
- Know your optimization goal: What exactly are you optimising for? In general, you want to optimise for rank or keep a tight grip on ad spending. Without concern for expense, you can design your campaigns to get you to the top and generate the most sales. Instead, you can tune your bids and targets to increase sales while maintaining profitability.

- Upgrade to Sponsored Brands video: No business can rely on one idea to generate leads and income, same as Amazon introduced Sponsored Brands Video Ads as an option for your PPC strategy to work out effectively. You can use these ads to upload a 6- to 45-second video that will appear in Amazon search results for a certain keyword and, if clicked, will take the explorer to your product detail page.
