on Sponsored Products ads will appear on Pinterest and Buzzfeed.
Amazon Sponsored Products ads will appear now on premium apps and sites from third parties.
Pinterest, BuzzFeed and Hearst Newspapers brands such as Lifehacker, Mashable and Raptive, along with Ziff Davis and Raptive brands, are some of the brands that have partnered up with the retail giant in order to increase the reach of its Sponsored Products ad products.
Amazon announced in April that it would collaborate with Pinterest for a multi-year period of time, to become the first third-party advertising company.
Why it matters. By expanding the reach of Amazon Sponsored Products ads, marketers could achieve higher conversion rates as well as a greater return on their ad spending. This will help position brands to be successful in an ever-changing digital landscape. This new feature may also address the issue of attribution on Pinterest. It has been a major budget-limiting factor to advertisers due to huge discrepancies between Google Analytics and the Pinterest dashboard.
How it works. Amazon will analyze the context of the page, your campaign and the cost-per click parameters you’ve already set up to identify users who are likely interested in your product. The campaign will be displayed to the audience.
All third-party ads will link to your Amazon product pages, allowing potential customers to make an easy purchase with just a few clicks.
Eligibility. Sponsored products will only be displayed on premium apps and third-party websites if the product meets these criteria:
- The product must be available.
- This product features trusted Amazon shopping attributes, such as Prime Delivery Promise, ratings and accurate price information.
Steps to follow. Amazon will automatically enable the feature for you so that your Sponsored Products appear on premium apps and websites from third parties.
The Sponsored Product placement report can be downloaded from the Report Centre.
