In this episode…
As sponsored listings dominate the first page of Amazon’s search results, brands compete for visibility on the platform. Organic rankings take time to build awareness and generate conversions, whereas advertisements boost product positionings. Yet this requires identifying relevant keywords for each product. How can you leverage PPC and other Amazon advertising methods to drive sales?
According to Amazon ad maven Ritu Java, brands’ most frequent mistake when strategizing campaigns is tightening their budgets on top-performing ads. Rather than exhausting your ad spend by launching campaigns with underperforming keywords, Ritu advises allocating your budget to high-engagement campaigns that generate sales. To measure performance levels and optimize your budget, consider employing a dayparting strategy to schedule campaigns during peak business hours. You can also analyze search query reports to determine the highest-ranking keywords for your brand. This requires identifying data trends over time to influence campaign creation.

Ritu Java 0:00
As of today, I would say anyone who starts on Amazon needs to start with ads. Like there’s absolutely no way you’re going to be able to rise from the bottom of a very large pile of similar products. Most people are sourcing from the same factories, pack. I mean, even the factories are competing with you. So they have all the advantages. And so how do you stand out the first couple of months, try, you know, simple ads yourself, see what works, what doesn’t and then you know, just to buy your time back, you can start to look at maybe software initially, and see if that might help you. And then of course, if you want to just go straight to the agency, just have them manage your ads, that’s fine too. But it of course costs money and then you also have the the added kind of burden of overseeing what they’re doing and making sure you set them the right goals. Running an Amazon business is pretty brutal, unless you’ve got everything right. It’s very hard to see that kind of result that you might be hoping for, whether it’s a side hustle for you, or it’s a it’s a real business or if you’re just selling you know, retail, and you now want to dominate Amazon, no matter where you’re coming from Amazon isn’t easy. So you’ve got to start training yourself to understand the numbers. That’s probably your best chance at success.
