Amazon's Sponsored Display Product Targeting: The Pros and Cons

As the largest online retailer in the world, Amazon has a lot of data on its users. And it’s using that data to target ads more effectively than ever before. Amazon’s sponsored display product targeting allows advertisers to target ads to specific products that Amazon users have shown interest in. For example, if someone has been looking at TVs on Amazon, they might see an ad for a specific TV model when they visit other websites. Sponsored display product targeting is just one of the many ways that Amazon is using data to target ads. And it’s working—Amazon’s ad business grew by 69% last year. If you’re selling products on Amazon, you should be aware of this powerful tool and how you can use it to your advantage.

These ads are designed to look like recommendations from Amazon, and they can be targeted to specific audiences.
