Understanding Entry Points for Amazon DSP

Getting started with Amazon DSP involves determining if testing this advertising platform is appropriate for specific brands. Two primary avenues exist for entering DSP: through a self-service option provided by Amazon, which requires higher minimum budgets, or through an agency with a DSP seat, like Better Media, which offers lower entry points and more manageable budgets. For agencies, testing can begin with a minimum budget of around $10,000, allowing for more focused remarketing or prospecting strategies across products. Brands must assess their readiness, including evaluating past performance, product ratings, and ensuring efficient PPC campaigns to maximize DSP effectiveness.
