How much do display ads cost?
Display ads executed through sponsored ads supports cost-per-click (CPC) as well as cost-per-thousand viewable impression (vCPM) pricing options with no minimum campaign spend requirements.

Display ads can appear in many locations across the Amazon store plus thousands of third-party apps and websites. For example, placements can be found on the Amazon homepage and product detail pages, owned and operated sites like Twitch and IMDb, and third-party destinations. Placements are automatically selected based on your targeting tactic and optimized to help drive your desired outcome.
