Takeaways:Data-Driven Decisions: Aggregators and successful sellers leverage data science teams to drive decisions. This approach, known as algorithmic branding, involves using algorithms for PPC, inventory management, and pricing to optimize business operations. Understanding and Adapting to Fees: Sellers need to get used to Amazon's changing fee structure. Operating smarter by predicting inventory levels, adjusting prices, and being efficient with inventory can help maintain profitability despite fee increases.  Profit on Ad Spend (POAS): Instead of focusing on ACOS (Advertising Cost of Sales), consider using POAS, which takes into account the total cost of delivering a unit to the customer. This metric provides a clearer picture of profitability.  Bundle and Pack Products: To avoid price competition, consider selling products in bundles or packs. This approach can create additional value for customers, making direct price comparisons with competitors more difficult.  Optimize Pricing: Use dynamic pricing strategies to adjust prices based on demand and competition. By harmonizing price and ad spend, sellers can increase their contribution profit.    External Traffic: Analyze and optimize external traffic sources in addition to organic and paid traffic within Amazon. A higher percentage of external traffic can diversify sales channels and reduce dependency on Amazon's internal ecosystem. Quote of the Show:Start adjusting prices to understand their impact on your objectives. I created it out of necessity when nothing on the market met my needs. Start by creating a spreadsheet with your ASIN and objective, then input all relevant factors like price, fees, ad spend, and competition.

Takeaways:Visibility and Competition: Amazon provides immediate access to a large customer base and high visibility.

Your own website allows direct customer relationships and personalized marketing.Pricing and Profit Margins: Amazon's fees impact profit margins but simplify fulfillment. Your own website avoids these fees but incurs fulfillment and customer service costs.Brand Control and Differentiation: Amazon makes brand differentiation challenging but ensures visibility. Your own website offers complete branding control and unique marketing opportunities.Operational Challenges: Amazon handles logistics and customer service via FBA. Your own website requires managing these but provides greater control over operations.Risk and Investment: Amazon is less risky initially due to its audience and trust. Building your own website requires upfront marketing investment but can yield higher long-term rewards.Strategic Flexibility: A hybrid approach can be effective: start on Amazon for reach, then build your own website to diversify sales channels and reduce dependency on Amazon.Quote of the Show:Launching a product on Amazon requires a strategic investment in verified reviews, which can cost over $100 each. Without this, you risk losing visibility and facing high advertising costs. That's why I'm choosing to launch my product outside of Amazon for better traffic and growth opportunities.

In this week's episode, we're joined by Andrew Bailiff, an e-Commerce expert managing $1M/month in retail media spend across major platforms. Co-Host of That Amazon Ads Podcast and Co-Founder of AdLabs, Andrew shares key strategies for structuring Sponsored Product Campaigns on Amazon. Dive into foundational steps, auto campaign mastery, manual keyword tactics, and product marketing expertise. Discover budget allocation tips, the algorithmic advantage of broader views, and insights on handling branded keywords. Join us as we unravel the secrets to optimizing your Amazon Advertising strategy with Andrew's invaluable expertise. Takeaways :Start with a Foundation: Begin with a foundation of one auto campaign, two manual keyword campaigns (broad and exact), and two product marketing campaigns (expanded and exact).Auto Campaign: Use an auto campaign to gather data and identify relevant keywords. Utilize auto campaigns to discover new keywords and gather insights.Manual Keyword Campaigns: Have two manual campaigns: one for broad match and one for exact match. Broad match helps capture a wider audience and gather more data.Product Marketing Campaigns: Implement two product marketing campaigns, one for expanded product targeting (similar to broad match) and one for exact product targeting. Expanded product targeting is described as the broad match for product targeting.Structure for Control and Optimization: Set up the structure to have precise control over specific keywords and their relationships. Use exact match campaigns to avoid showing ads on a wide array of variations, unlike broader phrase matches.Segmentation for Performance: Consider breaking campaigns into multiple ones based on search volume or core keywords. Opt for segmentation when needed for more targeted control and optimization.Balancing Budgets and Goals: Allocate budgets across different goals and tactics. Balance spending on research efforts versus driving performance efforts.Branded Keywords: For branded keywords, deploy a structure similar to non-branded campaigns with broad and exact variations. Separate branded campaigns based on the level of control and budgetary needs.Quote of the Show:Optimizing ad campaigns starts with single product ad groups. It allows precise control over product-to-keyword relationships, enabling aggressive bids on high-converting items and conservative bids on others. Without this segmentation, you risk wasted spend and miss insights into individual product performance on specific search terms. Single product ad groups provide the precision needed for effective campaign management. Links :AdLabs - https://adlabs.app/ That Amazon Ads Podcast - https://www.youtube.com/@ThatAmazonAdsPodcast Special Promo: Rewrite this from the listeners point of view: Direct them to sign up for the AdLabs waitlist to schedule a complimentary demo call and when it asks "Where did you hear about us?" we will have an option for Amazon Legends Podcast which will qualify them for a free month trial of the bid optimizer. Amazon often loses inventory or overcharges fees.
