Today’s online portal for e-business and sales is very competitive and vast. Amazon pay-per-click (PPC) ads are an efficient method for brands to create awareness, improve visibility, and increase sales.
Amazon Marketing Services (AMS) is Amazon’s advertising style provided to its sellers. It offers three kinds of PPC ads. They are headline search ads, sponsored product ads, and product display ads. These ads are all suitable for attracting customers and getting conversions done.
1. Headline Search Ads
Headline Search ads get the most clicks among all the three types of PPC ads on Amazon. They build the most brand awareness as they are displayed on the top, bottom and left rail of Amazon search results. They also feature a customized design along with your logo and headline. It also consists of three products that are click bait.
How to create a headline search campaign
If you want to create a headline search campaign, you should start by choosing the most clickbait page of your ad. Shoppers click on this when they click on your ad. You can choose whichever Amazon Store page you want and you can also customize your own Amazon URL.
Then, you must choose your keywords which are used to target your customers. That way, if a customer clicks on your ad, he will be taken to your page and be given details about your products.
2. Sponsored Product Ads
Sponsored product ads are the most popular ones on Amazon as they bring in the highest amount of sales per click. They increase a product’s search visibility and bring more than usual people to your product details’ page. If you want to create a sponsored product campaign, you must choose the product you want to promote and add all the keywords which will help increase your product’s visibility. You can either do manual targeting, which includes selecting certain keywords for your ad or uses automatic targeting, where all your relevant keywords are targeted according to the product information. So, when a shopper looks for your keywords, your ad will pop up in the display if you win the Buy Box for that product.
3. Product Display Ads
Product display ads are becoming quite popular. These ads help to target shoppers who aren’t sure if they want to buy a product or not. They help in cross-selling and work extremely well for competition and give you a head start. These ads appear on product detail pages, customer review pages, the bottom of search results pages, and many other places. If you want to make a product display ad campaign, choose the product you want to promote and how you want to target customers. When someone clicks on your ad, they are taken to the product detail page.
4. Coupon Ads
If you have active Vendor Powered Coupons, then you can use the Product display ads to promote your products. These ads work just the way a regular product display and do, but the only difference is that they offer a coupon-specific creative. Amazon says that when you choose a product, there will be a notification about the availability of coupons. You can make a choice of advertising the coupon and view the ad before making the entire campaign live.
5. Deal Ads
Product display ads are also helpful when it comes to advertising deals with a limited amount of time. You will be presented the entire campaign process step by step. IT shows you the deals that can be used for promotion. They can be any Lightning or Savings and Sales deals which are under your vendor code. They should be approved and not to end within the next 72 hours.
