Benefits for sellers and vendors

Bulk and in-line edits

Vendors can select multiple campaigns to make bulk edits and save time on adjustments to budgets, start and end dates, status, and bids. This feature is now available to sellers using Sponsored Brands.

New time range selection and consistent time zones for reports

There is a new, easier-to-use time-range picker with presets and a custom range. Previously, data time ranges reflected the browser settings of the advertiser using the tools. To make reports more consistent for advertisers, the new campaign manager presents times like the campaign start date in the time zone of the vendor's or seller’s physical marketplace. While some campaigns may show slightly different start or end dates because of this display change, you can be assured that when you work with colleagues in other time zones, you will all see consistent results.

What’s new for vendors

Performance dashboard

Vendors have an interactive performance dashboard to analyze campaign and keyword performance over time and help make more informed optimization decisions. By selecting up to two metrics, you can quickly visualize your relative performance over time and identify trends in a graph format, without having to download and merge bulk campaign performance reports. When you click individual campaigns, the graph view will automatically adjust.

Filters

Vendors can now add multiple filters in the campaign manager to drill down into specific campaigns based on selected benchmarks. Filters can change the data in the chart, the data table, and the totals so you can see the total impact of your selection, its changes over time, and the individual contributions of campaigns, products, or keywords. You can use filters to review specific performance drivers, analyze underperforming campaigns and keywords, or identify bid and budget adjustments that can help you meet your business goals.

For example, you could set a filter on the "All campaigns" page to identify all manual Sponsored Products campaigns with at least 5,000 impressions and a click-through rate (CTR) of 6%. For each of these campaigns, you could click into the keywords view and sort by CTR to find keywords that decreased your CTR.

What’s new for sellers

Combined Sponsored Brands and Sponsored Products “All campaigns” view

In the past, sellers had to switch between two tabs to understand the performance of their campaigns. The new campaign manager provides a single view that shows your total spend and the total impact of your advertising campaigns. This view can be exported or easily filtered to a single ad product.

New data table tools

Sellers can download the data they see in the data table. When used in conjunction with filters, sellers can create powerful custom reports of all their campaigns, a single campaign, or an ad group.

Sponsored Brands campaigns now have a chart to show performance over time and use the same sorting and filtering tools as Sponsored Products campaigns. These new tools make Sponsored Brands campaigns easier and faster to manage.

Quick tips to take advantage of other new product updates

  1. Use the new column selector to customize your campaign dashboard and view performance metrics that are most important to you.
  2. For sellers, quickly identify products you want to advertise based on the star rating and number of reviews when setting up a new campaign.
  3. Sellers can also now upload a file of keywords to save campaign setup time.
  4. Sellers can add negative keywords for new Sponsored Products manual campaigns immediately during setup. Vendors can add negative keywords to Sponsored Products campaigns after the campaign is created.
