Overview

Amazon has become the third-largest advertising platform after Google and Facebook, with sellers spending billions on Amazon PPC to drive product visibility and sales.

This specialized agency manages Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands, Sponsored Display ads, and Amazon DSP campaigns exclusively for Amazon sellers.

You need deep understanding of Amazon's A9 algorithm, bidding strategies, keyword harvesting, negative keyword management, and product listing optimization since ads only work when product pages convert.

Services include campaign structure setup, bid optimization, keyword research, competitor analysis, advertising cost of sale (ACoS) reduction, and product launch campaigns.

Most agencies charge 10-20% of monthly ad spend with minimum retainers of $1,000-$2,500, or flat monthly fees of $2,000-$8,000 depending on catalog size.

Target clients include private label sellers, brands selling on Amazon, aggregators who've purchased Amazon businesses, and traditional retailers expanding to Amazon.

Initial investment includes Amazon advertising certifications, analytics tools like Helium 10 or Jungle Scout, and PPC management software.

The platform has unique challenges - seasonality impacts ad costs dramatically, Amazon frequently changes advertising features, and success depends partly on factors outside your control like product reviews and pricing.

However, sellers who find profitable products desperately need advertising expertise to scale, creating strong demand.

Build expertise by running campaigns for your own test products or offering deeply discounted services to first clients.
