The basics

What is a full-funnel Amazon ad strategy?

A full-funnel strategy runs Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands and Sponsored Display together, so shoppers who have never heard of you, shoppers comparing options, shoppers ready to buy and past customers each see the right ad. Every stage gets its own job, budget and measure, and the whole plan is judged on total sales.

  • Four stagesAwareness, consideration, conversion, loyalty
  • Three ad typesSponsored Products, Brands and Display
  • One scorecardTACoS and your share of top searches

Which ad does which job

4 stages
Stage 01Awareness

Sponsored Brands and Sponsored Display audiences

Puts your brand in front of shoppers browsing your category who have not met you yet.

Stage 02Consideration

Sponsored Display and Sponsored Brands on rivals

Shows up on competitor pages and comparison searches while shoppers weigh their options.

Stage 03Conversion

Sponsored Products and brand defence

Wins the ready-to-buy searches and keeps rivals off your own brand terms and listings.

Stage 04Loyalty

Sponsored Display remarketing

Brings past buyers back for refills, add-ons and your next launch.

Where the money goes

Where single-channel ad plans lose money

Most accounts we audit run only one part of the funnel, or run every part the same way. Each gap costs growth, and each one is fixable in the first few weeks.

01Leak

Only fighting for ready buyers

All budget sits on Sponsored Products for high-intent searches. Once that demand is bought, sales stall and clicks cost more.

FixTop and middle stages that create new demand for the bottom to convert.
02Leak

Awareness with no follow-up

Shoppers see a Sponsored Brands ad, view your page and leave. Nobody brings them back.

FixSponsored Display remarketing to shoppers who viewed and did not buy.
03Leak

Every stage judged on ACoS

Top-of-funnel ads always show a higher ACoS, so they get cut, and next quarter’s branded searches shrink.

FixA measure for each stage: new-to-brand, share, ACoS and repeat orders.
04Leak

Past customers ignored

The cheapest sale is to someone who already bought. Most accounts spend nothing to win them back.

Our method

How we build your Amazon ad funnel

Four stages, each with its own ad types, audience and measure. The plan is agreed with you in writing, and budget moves between stages every week.

  1. 01

    Awareness

    Sponsored Brands + Display

    Category keywords and in-market audiences reach shoppers who have not met your brand yet.

  2. 02

    Consideration

    Display + Brands on rivals

    Ads on competitor pages, comparison searches and to shoppers who viewed but did not buy.

  3. 03

    Conversion

    Sponsored Products

    Exact-match keywords and brand defence win the searches from shoppers ready to buy.

  4. 04

    Loyalty

    Sponsored Display

    Purchase remarketing brings past buyers back for refills, add-ons and launches.

Every stage feeds the nextAwareness grows branded searches that Sponsored Products converts cheaply, and every buyer joins the loyalty audience.
Budget moves to the weakest stageEach week we find where shoppers drop out and shift budget to fix that stage first.

Approaches compared

Full-funnel vs single-stage ad plans

Most accounts run only the bottom of the funnel, or buy reach with nothing to catch it. Here is how the three approaches compare.

FAQ

Full-funnel strategy FAQs

Straight answers, no sales spin.

What is a full-funnel Amazon advertising strategy?
A plan that uses Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands and Sponsored Display together to reach shoppers at every stage: when they first browse your category, while they compare options, when they are ready to buy, and after they have bought. Each stage has its own budget, ads and measure.
Which ad types do you use at each stage?
Sponsored Brands and Sponsored Display audiences for awareness; Sponsored Display and Sponsored Brands on competitor and category targets for consideration; Sponsored Products and brand defence for conversion; and Sponsored Display remarketing for loyalty.
Do I need a big budget for a full-funnel strategy?
No. We fund conversion first, so the sales you already have are protected, then add the other stages with a smaller share of budget and grow them only where they lift total sales. It suits brands spending $10K+ a month on ads.
When is a brand ready for full-funnel advertising?
When Sponsored Products is running well and branded searches or new customers have stopped growing. Brand Registry is needed for Sponsored Brands and for the search data in your Share Report. If your conversion campaigns still waste money, we fix those first.
How do you measure top-of-funnel ads?
Not on ACoS alone. Awareness and consideration ads are judged on new-to-brand orders, your impression and click share on top searches, and growth in branded searches. The whole plan is judged on TACoS.
What are new-to-brand orders?
Orders from customers who have not bought from your brand on Amazon in the past 12 months. They show whether your ads are winning new customers or only reaching people who already buy from you.
How does the Share Report help a full-funnel plan?
It uses Amazon’s Search Query Performance data to show your share of impressions, clicks, cart adds and purchases on your top searches. A low impression share points to the top of the funnel; a low purchase share points to your listing or conversion ads. See how we map your search funnel.
How long before a full-funnel strategy pays off?
Conversion fixes usually show in the first few weeks. Awareness and consideration take longer: branded searches and new-to-brand orders usually grow over the first 60 to 90 days, and TACoS improves as organic sales rise.
Is full-funnel strategy a separate service?
No. It is part of our Amazon PPC management at the same flat monthly fee. Every account we manage is planned across the full funnel from week one.
Is there a long-term contract?
No. Management runs month-to-month with 30 days’ notice and no setup fee.
