You can handle Amazon’s PPC advertising in certain ways. The most popular till now are the sponsored products. They can be seen in search results with other products and they have a “sponsored” tag below the title. You can give a headline search ad or a product display ad a try.
Amazon is the perfect place for your advertising if your customers are in the age group from 19 and 44. It is a great choice if you want to target those customers who are deeper in the sales funnel. Amazon pay-per-click ads are best for you if you’re mostly competing on price. Price is a tiebreaker when there are similar items available to the customers. Reviews are another way that sets you apart from your competitors.
Leveraging Social Media Advertising
It is just not enough to create organic content and attract followers, social media advertising is a must. There are multiple social media platforms available. You can direct viewers through targeted ads and make them follow you or buy from you. New social media platforms are onto the social media scene as the new generation is coming up.
People of all age groups use Facebook, the millennials are on Instagram mostly, and youth from 18 to 24 are using Snapchat as well. You can consider other demographic variables as well, for instance, professionals usually prefer LinkedIn. Majority of the users are using these platforms from their mobile devices, therefore make sure you optimize your marketing strategy for mobile.
The type of product you sell matters and this is what should guide you as to what platform you choose. The visual platforms include Instagram, Pinterest, and YouTube. Your product can do well on these platforms if you have appealing and trendy packaging. Facebook is a good choice if you are competing on price and your product is more of a practical product.
Leads can be converted using retargeting but social media can be better used to generate leads. You can create brand identity, brand awareness and build a community using social media. Pay attention to which social media platforms your competitors are using. If they should be on a platform on which they are not, then you can be the first to join that platform. You can also beat them if they are on a platform but are not using it properly. You can excel on that platform and do better in general.
Majority of the ecommerce businesses should consider using the services of social media influencers. Influencer-based advertising strategies are many. Give free products to relevant influencers and they might do a free review of your product or you can pay them to review your product. It is for you to decide which tactic to use and how organic you want your marketing to be or seem.
