What is Amazon DSP? Unhappy with the digital ad platforms available to it, Amazon, decided to build its own - and now they are letting other businesses take advantage of it, just like the company did with its fulfilment and cloud services.
In the U.S., Amazon is now the third largest digital ad platform behind Google and Facebook, while locally, the company, is poised for rapid growth.
What are Amazon Ads? Amazon ads are a lot like those on Facebook and Google, and they appear on a number of different sites like Amazon.com, IMDb, and Goodreads. You can also purchase ads which are featured on Amazon devices and platforms including Kindle, Fire Tv, and Prime Video.
But Amazon ads aren’t restricted to the company’s sites, Amazon ads can also be run on third party sites, like SMH or News.com.au.
Should I Advertise on Amazon? If you’re selling products on Amazon then the answer is an overwhelming yes!
