The lead-up to a global shopping event may sometimes be just as important as the event itself. Ensure you are building brand awareness by leveraging static and video creative for new-to-brand customers prior to Prime Day. Shoppers are using this time to discover brands and compare products; engage them as they shop by featuring product deals and your top sellers in both your ad creative and Store. Understand ad policies to avoid moderation issues with your creative during the different phases of the event. Finally, optimize product detail pages to drive engagement and product readiness for Prime Day itself.
For static creative, focus on clarity and getting your brand messaging across. Follow these three tips:

Use of Prime Day messaging (applicable for all ad products)
Remember that Prime Day messaging can’t be included in copy if ads are running on-site. If running off-site on Amazon DSP, Prime Day messaging will be allowed only if you have an official Prime Day deal linking back to Amazon. However, the Prime Day logo can never be used.
Policy per ad type:
Amazon DSP off-site | Prime Day mentions are permitted in off-site Amazon DSP ads, provided the advertiser has an official Prime Day deal linking back to Amazon. |
Amazon DSP on-site | Prime Day mentions are not permitted. |
Stores | Prime Day mentions are not permitted. |
Self-service | Prime Day mentions are not permitted. |

On Prime Day itself, optimize your ad placements by featuring top-selling products and deal items through REC. Finally, optimize your Stores experience by highlighting deal products prominently in your Stores homepage.
Auto-generates ads with up to 20 associated ASINs and auto-optimizes by picking the best-performing ones.

Make sure your Store’s Prime Day promotional messaging adheres to ad policy.
In your brand’s Store, promotional messaging is only permitted when used with the Featured Deals widget (FDW).
Stores FDW
Ensure that Prime Day is not referenced in any creative headers. Instead, it should read “Save on… [brand or category].” Below you can find promotional copy that is approved for the event:
Allowed |
---|
“Explore our savings/discounts” |
“Great savings/discounts” |
“See our savings/discounts” |
“[Brand Name] or [Product Name] savings/discounts” |
Not allowed |
---|
“Today only,” “Hurry,” or other additions intended to create urgency or promote a limited time restriction |
Numerical pricing references (e.g., “20% off” or “sSave $10”) |
References to “Amazon Deals” or “Prime Day” |
Exclamation points, unless they are part of a brand name |
Correctly set up your Store layout
When driving creative with deals messaging to a Store, the Store or page must be appropriately titled if created exclusively to promote deals (for example, “sale,” “discounts,” “deals,” or other terms that imply a promotion). “Prime Day” cannot be used in the tab name. It should also contain the FDW as the first product selection tile on the page.

The Featured Deals widget (FDW) must be used for all deals.
The FDW will show products with active promotions (including Subscribe & Save). Make sure to use a curated product list when adding the ASINs to the FDW, paying attention to the following:
Choose a launch date for a new or existing Store without canceling the original through scheduling.
New Stores or versions should be scheduled according to ad creative launch times. The publish date and time of a Store can be selected when submitting to publish and must be at least 72 hours prior to launch to allow for review and approval of the Store. Stores must also be scheduled for the duration of the promotion period.
Stores considerations for multi-brand advertisers
Multi-brand advertisers that lead with multi-brand deals in Store creative, such as “Shop our skin care deals,” may create a Stores deals page that contains product category image tiles with text. For example, it could say “Shop [brand x] for deals for her,” or “Shop [brand x] for deals for him” as the first component on the Store page above the FDW. The titles must click through to the correct corresponding deal pages within the same Store. These corresponding pages must also contain the FDW with full selection of deals for customers who wish to continue exploring and shopping for products on that page.
Optimize your executions for engagement
Ensure your Store is ready
Shopping habits during high-traffic events don’t end abruptly. Ensure your brand is present even after Prime Day by remarketing featured products to re-engage audiences who browsed or viewed your products during the event but didn’t end up purchasing.
You can also reach shoppers who continue to visit Amazon by promoting complementary products to existing or new customers.
Next, engage with your new and existing customers by promoting complementary products through further campaigns post-event.
Finally, review your Prime Day performance and identify your top-selling products to better understand audience engagement for future events.
