    • On Lead Up, deals exclusive for Prime members are not mandated but recommended.
    • On Day Of, ads and stores must feature a deals exclusive for Prime members.
  • US Only:
    • During Day of, all ads must focus on deals or offers. During Lead up, ads with HTE references must also focus on deals or offers, or exclusive products. During Prime HTEs, these deals or offers or products must be Prime exclusive.

  • Brand Store Creatives: Only percentage savings are allowed for all deals. Dollar savings are not permitted.

Multi-Brand Advertisers Using Brand Store Creative: Prime Day

Brand Store Creative requirements for Multi-Brand Advertisers: For advertisers who would like to include multiple brands in their advertising creative, the following is required:

  • Logo: The logo can be the parent brand or any logo of the ASINs featured in the creative. For example:
    • Parent Company A (Sunshine Farms) can be the parent logo featured and Sub-brand B (Daisy Fields Unsalted Butter) and Sub-brand C (Henrietta Hen Organic Eggs) can be featured ASINs.
    • Or, Daisy Fields can be the logo and the featured ASINs can be Daisy Fields Unsalted Butter and Henrietta Hen Organic Eggs.

    IMPORTANT NOTE: The brands featured need to be from the same or adjacent category so the creative headline can tie the images together. For example, “Save on farm fresh foods”.

  • Featured ASINs: You can feature one or two ASINs. If two are featured and one sells out, the creative can remain. But if both sell out, the creative must be pulled down. To keep multi-ASIN creative accurate at least two ASINs from each brand (Daisy Fields and Henrietta Hen) that is featured in the ad creative, must be present on the landing page.
    • For example, if Daisy Fields Butter is featured in the creative then both Unsalted and Salted Butter should be on the landing page.
  • Copy: The copy must be generic enough to apply if one product goes out of stock.
    • For example, “Save on organic farm foods.”

    Keep in mind that the logo featured in the creative may also be the sold out ASIN, so language should be general per the example.

  • Landing page: The unit must link to the Brand Store page where all ASINs featured in the creative must be present, plus additional ASINs from the respective brands to keep the ad relevant if one brand featured in the creative sells out. Meaning, if Daisy Fields Organic Unsalted Butter is a featured ASIN, then Salted Butter should also be in the Store in case original sells out.

Content Restrictions - HTE SOV Only

  • Alcohol ads: Not allowed for PD (except for JP).
  • Endemic ads in the US must follow the participation tenets to be eligible for HTE packages.
