Olay fuels sales growth and brand lift among Amazon customers

At Amazon, we’ve suspected for some time that campaigns on our site drive not only on-Amazon sales but offline sales and brand benefits for our advertisers, as well. Procter & Gamble worked with Amazon to test the impact of an Amazon Advertising campaign on offline sales and key brand metrics in addition to sales on Amazon.

Amazon audiences outperform demographic audiences

There was a 15% lift in overall sales among groups reached using Amazon audiences compared with an 8% lift among those reached using traditional demographic attributes.

The Amazon media solution

Amazon worked with P&G to develop a solution that reached Olay’s most likely customers using Amazon’s real-time, first-party data. By reaching customers who were in market for skincare products and relevant Amazon lifestyle segments, P&G was able to accurately pinpoint their most receptive customers and affect both sales and brand perceptions among these group.
