What is performance advertising?
Performance advertising solutions help you promote the discoverability of new products, drive incremental sales from your brand catalogue and remarket to shoppers who have not yet converted.
With an increasing variety and number of product choices available for online shoppers, performance advertising can help your brand break through and get your products discovered.
Increase sales on Amazon with performance advertising
Performance advertising can help you engage shoppers along their path to purchase and drive overall sales of your products. We offer a variety of performance advertising solutions featuring targeting tactics, placements and ad creatives that help you efficiently reach the most relevant shoppers, both on and off Amazon.
Promote product discovery
Use highly relevant ads to help the right shoppers discover your products. Combine targeting tactics such as keywords and product targeting to connect your product to shoppers as they look for similar products or browse relevant categories, brands or product detail pages.
Inform shoppers
Use our ad creatives to provide shoppers with key product details while they’re exploring new items and actively in the purchasing mindset. Our ads integrate familiar elements of the Amazon shopping experience, such as price, star ratings, and deals and savings badging to make it easier to make informed purchase decisions.
Engage with audiences
Increase engagement with shoppers and help them discover and purchase your products through a variety of ad placements. Ads can appear on shopping results, prominent placements on top of shopping results and product detail pages of similar products, letting you engage shoppers at multiple touchpoints along their path to purchase and link them directly to your product pages.
Optimize your advertising
Our machine learning models make optimizing your campaigns easier by helping you with bidding, budgeting and targeting, all while giving you the transparency and controls to grow your business.

Sponsored Products
Use Sponsored Products to promote your individual products to high-intent shoppers close to the point of purchase. These ads appear on Amazon shopping results and product detail pages of similar products and link directly to your product’s detail page. Sponsored Products is cost-per-click, meaning that you only pay when shoppers click on your ad.

Sponsored Brands
While Sponsored Products connects shoppers directly to individual products, Sponsored Brands allows you to showcase multiple products from your brand together. These ads link shoppers to a custom landing page or Store, where they can discover the rest of your catalogue. In addition to placements on shopping results and product detail pages, Sponsored Brands gives you the ability to advertise on prominent placements on top of shopping results. Similar to Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands is cost-per-click.

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.
