Sponsored Brands
While Sponsored Products connects shoppers directly to individual products, Sponsored Brands allows you to showcase multiple products from your brand together.

Sponsored Display
Leveraging Amazon’s first-party shopping insights, Sponsored Display can complement your Sponsored Products and Sponsored Brands campaigns by helping you reach audiences both on and off Amazon. If shoppers initially show interest in your product or similar products but don’t purchase right away, you can re-engage them with display ads off-Amazon as they browse third-party websites. These self-service cost-per-click display ads are accessible to any professional seller enrolled in Amazon Brand Registry or vendor who sells products on Amazon.
