You will then consider nurturing the existing customer base rather than attracting new ones to increase Customer Lifetime Value(CLV).

There’s no doubt that 2022 will be an explosive year for Amazon. Amazon will do all things possible to stay the world’s leading eCommerce website. One has to stay at the top of the advertising trends to have an edge over the competition. Here are some trends that have already started showing their impact in 2022. New Features in Amazon Sponsored Display Campaigns  New Bulksheets If you’re a vendor or a seller, the new bulksheets feature that rolled out in January this year helps you create and optimize sponsored campaigns at scale and update campaign names in bulk. It offers a new spreadsheet template for better data formatting and quicker uploading time. These bulksheets help you manage thousands of keywords simultaneously. This update prevents you from investing the time and effort required to manage Amazon Sponsored Display campaigns. Sponsored Display Creative Customization From this July, advertisers using Sponsored Display could finally start customizing their creatives further by adding a headline, logo, and lifestyle image. They can choose to add one or any combination of these assets to help shoppers discover your brand and product. Expansion of Bid Recommendations Announced in February 2022, It has enabled Sponsored Display vCPM-based campaigns to use suggested bids in the Amazon Advertising console.  These recommendations are helpful for new CPC-based or vCPM-based product targeting or views-based remarketing campaigns. The machine learning bid recommendation offers you a suggested bid and bid range that is updated daily. This saves you from indulging in your own bid or competitive research. New Ad Groups for Amazon Vendors and Sellers Launched in February 2022, this new feature in the advertising console is an excellent addition for vendors and sellers. Ad groups are basically used to organize ads based on brand, product, category, targeting strategy, price range, or theme. Hence, this feature helps improve the organizing and managing of campaigns. Amazon Sponsored Display Budget Rules Amazon advertisers can now set campaign budget rules for Sponsored Display. According to this feature that was rolled out in February 2022, there are two new types of budget rules: Performance-based rules Schedule-based rules As these budget rules can be set for specific dates or events, they control overspending of the budget, giving you the chance to cash in on all the important sales events. These rules also save the time it takes to adjust budgets. Twitch Advertising  An exclusive for Amazon sellers, Sponsored Display ads can now target Twitch. As a seller, you can reach a massive untapped audience here. As you can purchase Sponsored Display ads on a cost-per-click basis with no minimum budget, there is hardly any risk in trying this out. Given the massive growth of Twitch and its faithful fan base of its content creators, this could be a game-changing investment. Amazon Interactive Audio Ads Rolled out in the month of May 2022 and available in the US, these audio ads have simplified engaging with brands or services further. When listeners hear interactive audio ads they are interested in on an Alexa-enabled device, they can simply reply to the Alexa call-to-action by voice and take actions like requesting more info via email, adding an item to their cart, etc. without interrupting their streaming audio content. Amazon Advertising Cost Increase  Last year, nearly 59% of Amazon sellers were concerned about the increasing ad costs on the platform this year. The Amazon advertising cost depends on factors such as your ad types, your daily budget, your targeting type, and your bids per keyword. But knowing that Amazon became the biggest advertiser in history with a record $16.9bn ad spend at the beginning of this year, advertisers will need to spend more to stand out. It is important to note that despite the steady hike in cost-per-click, Amazon ads cost 68% less than Google ads and 44% less than Facebook ads. Amazon Brand Registry Features  Many sellers, while selling a product under their brand, are afraid of random merchants hijacking their product. Amazon Brand Registry gives sellers sole ownership of the “Amazon Buy Box“. Therefore, even if someone tries to hijack a product, the authorized seller can get in touch with Amazon seller support to take action.  Final Thoughts There was much expected out of 2022 and much has already been delivered. Have a Fab On Go advertising specialist look into your Amazon PPC or introduce these new possibilities into your current advertising strategy to grow your brand and sales.

If you are looking for ways to best structure your Amazon campaigns, this is worth your time.  Did you know that 6 out of 10 Amazon sellers struggle with PPC Campaigns because of limited knowledge of how to structure their campaigns?  Here are some tips and strategies for building a robust Amazon PPC campaign structure. Attain a Balance between Automatic and Manual campaigns The goal is always to create a structure that is easy to set up and manageable in the future. Remembering that the ad budget is controlled only at the campaign level, it is essential to strike a balance between the number of automatic and manual Amazon PPC campaigns to get the best of both worlds and save money. If the product PPC sales are X per month, then you set up Y campaigns: M automatic campaign(s) and N manual campaigns. You should also introduce ASINs of competing products in one of your manual campaigns so that your product will be displayed on their product detail pages. Create One Ad Group Per Campaign Amazon’s algorithm is twisted. Amazon’s mysterious algorithm gives you control over your ad campaigns and, strangely enough, takes it away as well. Things like Automatic campaign targeting and broad keyword matches are absolutely in command of Amazon. In a scenario like this, it is only natural to be thinking about your money: how much money will get distributed between ad groups and keywords.  Let’s take an example. You create a campaign and introduce multiple ad groups within it. Now it is up to Amazon to split the campaign budget between the ad groups. If the campaign budget was 500 $ and you create two ad groups, each ad group may or may not receive the perfect split amount of 250$. There could be a massive difference between the two. The algorithm calculates what will work better and distributes the budget accordingly. So, you would want to create only one ad group under a campaign to counter this problem. It guarantees the flow of the entire budget directly into that ad group, which then flows directly into the keywords. Add Only 10 Keywords Per Campaign Now that we have discussed that there should be one ad group per campaign, is it a practical choice always? You have limited control over your campaigns as can be understood from before. On a much deeper level, we cannot also control how much spend each keyword is going to get.  With much experience, knowledge, and trial and error, a count of 10 keywords per campaign is ideal. But considering Amazon’s dynamic nature, algorithm or feature changes can be introduced frequently. So, it’s best to keep an eye on it. Choose Keywords with Similar Search Volume Keywords with different search volumes cannot be mixed and put in the same ad group of an Amazon PPC campaign. When you place a high search volume keyword with a low search volume keyword, the former uses up all the budget. As a result, it receives all the impressions. Even if you have the power of a massive budget, Amazon can figure out more potential in a certain keyword. It will neither shy away from using all your money on it nor from reducing the potential of lower search volume keywords from becoming profitable. Use Long-Tailed Keywords Choosing long-tailed keywords early on controls the competition from highly competitive keywords and drives sales from all Amazon customers having high intent of purchase. This saves your budget and gets your brand the exposure it rightly deserves as you will gain a better position and reputation for those generic keywords in the Amazon marketplace. Setting Negative Keywords Negative keywords prevent your advertisement from appearing after entering search terms. They do not match your products or perform poorly in driving sales and just cost you too much for clicks. Implementing negative keywords reduces ad spending, boosts listing rankings, removes keyword cannibalization, and, in turn, maximizes ad revenue. How Can BIE Support You Honestly, we’re just a call away. We provide you with the best revenue-driving PPC management services through our years of experience and expertise.

BOOK A FREE CONSULTING CALL Amazon is an ever-evolving e-commerce platform introducing sellers to new advertising capabilities now and then. As an Amazon seller, there’s no doubt that you will have to stay up to date with recently launched features, formats, and campaign types and re-assess and optimize your Amazon advertising strategy in 2022. 1. Think Deeply about Your Goals As a seller, you follow success through strategies. Having a goal of ‘increased sales’ may not be enough. There are many more strategic efforts to integrate at the product, group, or brand level. An advertising strategy cannot function as a one-size-fits-all and be habituated to dynamism when introducing quick modifications to impact campaign performance ultimately. When deciding your goals, you should focus on which stage you are in the sales funnel(Awareness, Interest, Decision, and Action) and set your ad goals accordingly. For example, you will first want to create awareness for your newly launched brand and switch to sales-oriented ad campaigns. Then you will be moving forward to launching Sponsored Product, Brand, and Display ads to tap customers throughout the entire funnel. You would also want to create defensive campaigns for brand protection purposes. Some strategic approaches you can take: Be ranking on the top for a specific keyword Promote the bestselling item for your new product line   Sell out a product   Capture solid market share over a competitor   Become a market leader in a product line 2. Create a Robust Structure for your Campaigns A solid campaign structure is not one stuffed with poorly-performing keywords but enriched with high-performing keywords. How does it help? Enables you to use New Auto Campaigns: Auto campaigns allow Amazon to generate keywords that you can refine more with focused manual campaigns, a process known as search term optimization.  Use Search Term Harvesting to better match ad campaigns to your buyer’s intent. Optimize ASIN Discoverability to check whether your keywords and bids are providing your products the visibility they need. Utilize Negative Keywords to control unnecessary spending and boost product rankings. 3. Monitor Targeting When an Amazon advertising campaign or ad targeting is considered, a range of strategies is there to explore: Category Targeting, Brand Targeting, and ASIN Targeting. Category Targeting The Category Targeting feature allows you to target your product categories on the platform. This is ideal for generic products that do not have particular keywords to optimize for and for new products that are not being searched for. It was extremely challenging to sell items on Amazon that did not have a high-volume keyword search. The new product targeting features are already changing this scenario. Brand Targeting Amazon Brand Targeting helps you target high-traffic brands. This targeting helps identify your competitors who are spending big on Sponsored Brands and attracting good traffic through these ads. You can then target competitor brands using the ‘further category’ refinements. ASIN Targeting ASIN Targeting allows you to select specific products, categories, and brands that are similar to the product in your ad. It is used when your product is comparable to another but cheaper. With ASIN-targeted campaigns, two strategies come into play to select which ASINs to target: 1) those that are similar to your product and 2) those that are complementary. 4. Strike a Balance for Spending A defensive strategy could look like you spending on your branded search terms to deter competitors from targeting your listing. A good offensive strategy could be targeting your competitor’s brand. A good balance for spending on these strategies could be to allocate around 40% of the budget to defense where you target keywords directly related to your brand and about 40% to keywords you would like to own, including those of competing brands. The rest 20% can then be reserved for harvesting or testing. Final Thoughts Learning and accommodating new advertising strategies should be your consistent focus as an Amazon seller.

When done correctly, PPC boosts sales and improves and increases brand image and awareness. As a seller or an advertiser, this proves helpful in competing harder and staying at the top. In this blog, we deliberate on the common mistakes that cripple Amazon PPC.  BOOK A FREE CONSULTING CALL Are you dissatisfied with your Amazon PPC campaign results? Does it look like all the efforts- strategy, bidding, and rounds of optimization- were in vain? As significant as PPC advertising is, it’s a no-brainer that PPC is not just about creating and launching campaigns. If not careful, a few mistakes can convert cost-effective PPC campaigns to high-ACOS PPC campaigns. What are these mistakes? Let’s take a look. Eliminating poor-performing keywords too early: Amazon SEO is not the same as Google SEO, with different strategies working for them. As an Amazon seller, one should focus only on the Amazon A10 algorithm functionality and conduct keyword research to discover what customer search terms are. Keyword research is key to a PPC campaign’s real potential. An ideal keyword list should include root keywords, synonym keywords, generic category keywords, and broad keywords. For example,        1. Root Keywords: washer machine pan, washer drain pan, drain pan, etc.        2. Synonym Keywords: washer pan, washer tray, floor tray        3. Generic Category Keywords: washing machine, washer machine, drain pans, home improvement        4. Broad Keywords: washing machine pan for drainage, water pan for washing machine] Modifying Campaigns too quickly: PPC campaigns may give faster results but let’s be realistic. Like most ad campaigns, the Amazon PPC campaign takes 7-14 days to stabilize and reveal performance that may or may not require help. Moreover, most Amazon advertising reports have~ 48-hour delay.Doesn’t it then seem wise to change and adjust your campaigns ahead of time? Adjusting bids and adding or removing keywords early on gives you no time to collect valuable data, leaving you with nothing to analyze your ad performance by. Not using the correct bidding strategies: There are different bidding strategies to consider and know their differences well. Dynamic Bidding(Up and Down): Amazon increases your bid by up to 100% if the possibility of conversions is high or reduces it if the chances of conversions are low. Dynamic Bidding(Down Only): Amazon lowers your bids by up to 100% when the possibility of conversions is low, reducing your ad costs overall. Fixed Bids: Amazon will utilize your exact bid and any manual adjustments you make. There will be no changes to your bids based on the number of conversions. Not taking negative keywords into account: When your Amazon PPC ads show up for keywords other than those matching your product search term, they generate traffic and clicks without conversion. This can destabilize your ad budget. By removing negative keywords, you can increase sales by boosting campaign profitability. That too without any compromise of visibility. Not considering automatic and manual campaigns together: Automatic campaigns help you utilize Amazon’s data from where you can identify both top-performing and poor-performing keywords. Add these top-performing keywords to your manual campaigns and remove the poor ones from them to boost sales and maximize profitability. Together, they help control your ad expenditure. Irrelevant Targeting: Solely targeting broad, generic terms having extremely high search volume is unwise. It is misleading as one targets all the audience searching for an irrelevant product at certain times.By targeting broad terms, you are spending your ad budget on shoppers not interested in your product. Focussing on niche keywords prevents this and keeps your ACOS in control. Final Thoughts Optimizing your Amazon PPC is highly crucial. Sellers, whether beginners or established, can utilize PPC to boost their sales and gain a competitive edge. All one needs to remember is to do or repeat these mistakes and to monitor campaigns regularly. Or have someone like Fab On Go help you with it.

The Amazon market is a challenging arena for businesses online. And Amazon Advertising, with its multiple features rolling out time and again, has only made it more competitive. Stakes are high, so the execution of Amazon PPC strategies has to be near perfect. But with much to learn about Amazon PPC, where do you start? It’s best to familiarize oneself with all the common PPC terms before any deep-diving. Advertising placement Advertising placement is the area where an advertisement is displayed. Amazon ads are commonly found at the top of search results, alongside search results, and on product display pages.  Budget The maximum amount of money that can be exhausted for a campaign. If you fix a daily budget at $30, you will not be able to spend more than $30 on that day. Bid The amount of money one is willing to pay for each click on their ad. Sellers can choose between automatic or manual bidding and avail benefits. Keywords Keywords are the most basic PPC tactic for pulling customers. Sellers can target keywords that customers utilize as search terms to find products. There are two types of targeting: automatic and manual targeting. Search Term Search Terms are not the same as keywords. They are terms within Amazon reports that refer to where your ads show up. Keywords are about what you’re targeting, while search terms are about where your ads are getting delivered. Demand-Side platform (DSP) Available across only certain countries, DSP is an Amazon software platform enabling advertisers to programmatically purchase video, display, and audio ads on and off Amazon.  Advertising Cost of Sales (ACoS) It is used to assess the performance, effectiveness, and profitability of sponsored product advertising campaigns. You can calculate it by dividing Total Ad Spend by Total Sales. Target ACoS (TACoS) Target ACoS, also known as TACoS, is the advertising spend as a percentage of total revenue generated, including organic revenue. The latter gives a more integrated perspective to your promotional efforts. Return on Ad Spend (RoAS) A popular benchmark across digital advertising, RoAS is the inverse of ACoS. It represents the dollars earned per dollar spent. Conversions It is the desired action that a customer completes, be it “Add to Cart” or a “Buy Now”. It is a measure of the times your ad ended with the desired result. Conversion rate The conversion rate is the percentage of clicks received on your ad that bring about the desired result, for example, the sale of a product. Cost-per-click (CPC) CPC is the average cost you pay each time someone clicks on your ad. It is calculated by dividing the amount of money spent on an ad by the number of clicks. CPC can be thought of as being mutually beneficial to Amazon and the sellers, as the sellers only pay for ads that get a click. Click-through Rate (CTR) The percentage of people who have clicked on your ad to those who have viewed it. In other words, CTR is (clicks/impressions) x 100. New-to-brand metrics The metric used to describe buyers purchasing your brand or product for the first time on the platform over the past year. These estimate the cost of nurturing new customers and determine the best channels and tactics to achieve their campaign goals. Automatic Campaigns Easy to use and offering access to data gathered through the e-commerce platform, Automatic Campaigns are a campaign or targeting type where Amazon itself decides when and where ads will be displayed. They take away the control out of a seller’s hands. Manual Campaigns Manual campaigns where sellers and advertisers have things in their hands. It helps to strategize and optimize campaign setup and running more effectively. PPC Spend The total amount assigned to advertising efforts on Amazon PPC. Target ACoS This isn’t TACoS or tacos. It’s Target ACoS.  It is your profit margin before advertising divided by your target profit margin post advertising. This number will be different for every seller and is determined by the various costs of making your product available. This wraps up Part I of ABC of PPC on Amazon. And for A to Z PPC management, don’t forget to contact us!

Amazon Vendor Central and the Evolution of Amazon Advertising Before 2020, paid marketing was split into two separate portals for vendors and sellers. Amazon then combined them(Amazon Marketing Services and Amazon Advertising Platform) into a unified hub called Amazon Advertising. An exceptional move by the e-commerce platform, it allows businesses to access the same types of advertising systems, campaigns, and reporting metrics. To get the best out of it, a business must register itself through Amazon Brand Registry.  Registration helps take advantage of the many marketing placements and gain access to several self-service brand protection tools. Types of Ads Available to Vendors and their Features Amazon Sponsored Products These are the most basic ad options used by both sellers and vendors. These ads are shown on Amazon search results or a product details page. These can be executed only when one wins the Amazon Vendor Buy Box. These offer two types of targeting: Automatic targeting where Amazon controls the ad campaigns. It selects the search terms by itself based on your product’s description. It frees you from worrying about any additional setup. In Manual targeting, you get to customize keywords and individual bids.  These ads help generate general awareness and elevate sales for your product when in high demand. Amazon Sponsored Brands  These were known as Amazon Headline Ads back in time. These allow for a single headline, logo, and three featured products along with links to their respective product pages. You can also redirect these sponsored ads to your main Amazon storefront or a particular customized landing page. These can be targeted to brand names, search terms, and competitor ASINs. They can also be auto-targeted as per the category. These ads boost both brand and product awareness among your target customers.  Amazon Sponsored Display These ads allow businesses to reach target customers both on and off Amazon. These allow advertisers to customize bids and adjust targeting. These ads allow vendors to explore product-based targeting, views-based targeting, and interest-based targeting. Amazon vendors are given a few more targeting options according to their Brand Registry status. Differences between Vendor and Seller Advertising There is one main difference- the attribution window. An attribution window is the number of days that fall between a person viewing or clicking your ad and subsequently taking an action.

Explore what RoAS is and its value as a metric for determining the cost-effectiveness and performance of an ad campaign. As Fab On Go, we offer Amazon advertising support as one of our core services. BOOK A FREE CONSULTING CALL Advertising is both creative and analytical. Creativity requires out-of-the-box thinking whereas the analytical part gauges the effectiveness of a campaign. There is a Return on Ad Spend(RoAS) that both Amazon sellers and Amazon vendors can calculate against a campaign’s ad spend to see if their advertising strategy is working and driving income. Let’s understand it in detail. What is Amazon RoAS? ROAS is a metric that allows sellers to calculate the amount of income or loss for every dollar they invest. It helps them assess the performance of a particular ad campaign or even a keyword. It provides an excellent benchmark for retailers to figure out what’s working and how to improve their advertising strategy for the future. Why is RoAS important? Investing in Amazon PPC ad campaigns is a great way to boost business. Whether it is increasing brand awareness, traffic, or rankings, these ads can do it all.  But it is not that easy. With a new business or product launch as it can be extremely challenging to decide on the spending amount that will lead to success. Metrics like clicks and impressions indicate the growing traction and rising sales. But they can’t determine if you are earning a profit on your ad spend. That’s where RoAS comes into play. It helps Amazon sellers find: Whether their advertising methods are profitable or not. Whether certain marketing techniques and tools can or are already making a difference. Whether there’s a way to readjust the marketing budget for increasing revenue without landing the ad spend in a total mess. How to do Amazon ROAS Calculation? Amazon RoAS formula involves ad revenue and ad spending. Revenue is measured in terms of total attributed sales. Ad spend is the total expenditure on an advertising campaign. For example, if a business spends 1000$ on a campaign and it earns 4000$, the ROAS is 4. There was an earning of 4$ per dollar spent on advertising that product. Is there a good RoAS on Amazon? Every business has to make its own decision for its profit target. Different businesses have different benchmarks which depend on their calculation of profit margin. The average Amazon RoAS of 3x or 4x may work well for someone else and not you. Why? Because of the difference in your industry, strategies, and goals. Generally, RoAS of around 6x can be a good target at the beginning but it all depends on the context of your campaign.  In general, sellers benefit from a high RoAS. But this is debatable. Is High RoAS always a Sign of Success? Not really. Setting a high RoAS target for a higher margin product can be good because of its lower conversion rate. Low RoAS offers greater visibility for products that helps enhance brand awareness. It also influences a high chance of return on investment, and ultimately, helps command a niche. How to Find Your RoAS Balance? You neither want to spend very less on advertising and not receive enough visibility nor spend excessively and decrease your profit margin. Experienced Amazon sellers use different target RoAS for different products. Where to Find Your RoAS? Go to the Amazon Advertising platform and sign in. Click on the “Sponsored ads” tab on the left side. A dashboard will open that shows totals from all your sponsored ads at the top, including the average RoAS for all ad campaigns. Final Thoughts Now that you have the basic insights into Amazon RoAS and how it can help businesses run profitably, we hope you’ll calculate and balance it for your specific business situation.
