Here’s how to set up your Sponsored Display campaign:
Get started
Sign in to your account. Click “Create campaign,” choose Sponsored Display, and give your campaign a brief, descriptive name.
Choose your settings
1. Define the campaign’s start and end dates, and choose your daily budget. You can change your budget at any time, depending on your business needs.
Tip:
Run your campaign with no end date.
Tip:
Create an ad group to help you organize and manage ads within a campaign. You can group your ads by theme or audience strategy as examples.
2. Select your campaign bidding strategy and optimize your bid for the outcome you’re prioritizing: page visits or reach.
Did you know? Your cost type is determined by your business goal and bidding strategy: This is either cost-per-click (CPC) if you want optimize for page visits to your site, or cost-per-mille viewable impressions (vCPM) if you optimize for reach.
FYI: Select a combination of postal codes, cities, designated market areas, or states—depending on where your business is located or the areas you serve—to help you reach relevant customers.
3. Define your audience tactic. There are three ways that you can find the right customers for your business:
- Views help you reach customers based on what they’re browsing on Amazon.com.
- Purchases help you find customers who have purchased products on Amazon that are relevant to your business.
- Amazon audiences let you choose from four pre-built customer segments including life events, in-market, lifestyle, and interests to identify your target audience.
Tip:
Choose an audience that describes your core customers, such as “yoga enthusiasts” or “foodies.”
Customize your ad
Give your ad a name, select your own landing page on your site, and add your creative—you’ll need a brand logo, custom headline, and custom image.
Did you know? Once you’ve added your creative assets, your ad will automatically be optimized for different size variations, placements, and devices, so you won’t need to crop or customize your assets.
Launch your campaign
Next, launch your Sponsored Display campaign.
