Introduction to Amazon Ads DSP

E-commerce today holds the power to reach the right customers at the right time and is also expected to reach a market share of US$ 60 billion by 2027. One of the largest B2C players in India, Amazon already holds more than 30% of the country’s total e-commerce market share. What makes it even more lucrative is the fact that third-party sellers account for about 58% of total sales.

The marketplace has made a name for itself as one of the top options among sellers for advertising goods and brands due to its tremendous growth potential. Amazon offers its own advertising platform, called “Amazon Ads“, which enables sellers to promote their goods and boost visibility, sales, and ROI. The platform also gives advertisers the freedom to advertise their goods through a variety of channels, including sponsored product ads, product displays, Amazon Demand-Side Platform (DSP), and video & audio ads.

In this blog, we will discuss in detail Amazon DSP as it has emerged as the company’s most widely used ad product and offers a bundle of benefits.

In simple terms, it is a software that allows advertisers to buy ads in an automated manner on Amazon and other affiliated platforms. Amazon DSP makes use of programmatic advertisements which can be used to serve ad impressions to both existing and new customers at the right time and with reduced ad expenses. In real-time auctions, the advertisers use a bidding strategy to compete for these advertisements. Understanding the dynamics behind different real-time auctions becomes crucial when multiple advertisers are competing for the same impression and if an advertiser wants to optimize the amount spent per impression.

Why advertise using Amazon DSP?

The bundle of benefits that come with using Amazon DSP are:

• Link-out Campaigns: Even if the advertiser chooses not to sell their goods on Amazon, Amazon DSP can be used to direct customers to their brand’s website using “Link-out” campaigns. These campaigns are especially used to promote goods in a category that Amazon does not support or services that Amazon does not offer.
• Advanced Ads Solutions: The tool can be used by advertisers to obtain first-party information on customer shopping behavior and campaign effectiveness. It also offers in-depth reporting analysis that includes crucial metrics like units sold, add-to-cart rates, and the sum of total purchases made by the customers..
• Cross-device shopping: With the help of Amazon DSP, advertisers can also create cross-device campaigns that target specific customer segments with relevant and customized ads both on and off of Amazon.
• Campaign Optimization: There are two ways to go about it using “Automatic & Manual” optimization techniques. In the automatic one, every impression is evaluated against a campaign’s objective using an optimization engine, and the campaign budget is updated as necessary. With the manual approach, advertisers can set their own campaign performance caps by manually modifying the frequency of their commercials, target markets, bids, and campaign budgets.
• Predictive Models: How Amazon ranks advertisements and places bids for impressions depends on the bid strategy used by advertisers. The entire process of selecting the ideal bid strategy can be automated with the help of the sophisticated machine-learning algorithms used by Amazon DSP. Ultimately these algorithms help in predicting the likelihood that impressions will result in a conversion event and the accomplishment of the targeted campaign goals.
