Amazon Ads FAQ

Welcome to Amazon Ads. To help you get started, we've answered some of the most frequently asked questions from newcomers.

What is Amazon Ads?

Amazon Ads offers a range of products and information to help achieve advertising goals for registered sellers, vendors, book vendors, Kindle Direct Publishing authors, app developers, and/or agencies. (Refer to each product’s page for eligibility criteria.) With our insights, reach, and premium entertainment properties from music to streaming, you can connect with the right audiences in the right places, both on Amazon and wherever they spend time.

How does Amazon Ads work?

To get started with self-service advertising products, including Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands, Sponsored Display, and Stores, visit the Register page and choose one of the options to enroll.

Display ads, video ads, and ads that run through the Amazon DSP can be managed independently or with an Amazon Ads account executive.

How much do Amazon Ads solutions cost?
  • Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands, and Sponsored Display are cost-per-click ads, meaning you pay only when customers click your ad, and you control your campaign budget.
  • The cost of display ad and video ad campaigns can vary depending on format and placement.
  • Audio ads are sold on a cost-per-mille basis.
  • Advertising through a managed-service option with an Amazon Ads account executive (display ads, video ads, and ads that are run through the Amazon DSP) typically require a minimum spend of $50,000 (USD).
  • You can create a Store for free.
What kind of reports are available to help measure my return on investment?
