Why Amazon PPC

In Amazon, if we search for a product, the ads related to that product gets displayed when we open the app again. Now, this has reached to the next level, the ads related to the searched products are displayed in social media sites like Face book, Instagram etc.  This is known as targeted ads. By targeting the ads to the potential customer, the customer has the greater chance of buying the products shown in the ads.

1. Enhanced Product Targeting.
2. Product Attributes Targeting.

Only the sponsored products on Amazon gets is allowed to get targeted to the customers.

There are 4 targeting options to target the products to the customers:

• Loose match
• Close match
• Substitutes
• Complements
