Deep dives
Updates to Broad Targeting on Amazon Advertising Platform
Amazon has made updates to broad targeting on its advertising platform, including the inclusion of synonyms and variations. This means that broad targeting now includes words that are similar or have the same meaning as the target keyword. However, this change has affected the performance of campaigns relying heavily on broad targeting. To adapt, advertisers are shifting their focus to phrase and exact match targeting for better control over where their ads are delivered. While broad targeting still has a place for data gathering, it is recommended to use it as a catch-all approach with low bids.
Managing Waste of Spend in Advertising Campaigns
To minimize waste of spend in advertising campaigns, brands should focus on limiting the use of broad targeting, especially with the recent changes. By exporting keywords into exact match and phrase match, advertisers gain more control over their campaigns and can avoid the overdelivery of synonyms and variations. Adding plus limitations to broad keywords can help prevent Amazon from generating search terms beyond the intended keywords. It is also important to track search term reports regularly and make adjustments accordingly to mitigate wasteful spending.
Introduction of Mobile Carousel in Amazon Sponsored Display
Amazon has launched a mobile carousel in its sponsored display ads to enhance product discovery and build brand awareness. This feature allows advertisers to display custom images and logos, giving customers more opportunities to engage with their products. By utilizing high-quality visuals and telling a compelling story, brands can make the most of this additional ad space. The mobile carousel is available to smaller brands as well, providing an accessible ad format to boost their visibility and compete in the marketplace.
