The basics
What are Amazon Sponsored Display ads?
Sponsored Display ads are Amazon ads that reach shoppers by what they view and buy, not only by what they search. They appear on product pages, in search results and on the Amazon home page, and are best known for bringing back shoppers who looked at your product but did not buy.
- Product and audience targetingPages, categories, views, purchases, interests
- Pay per click or per 1,000 impressionsChosen per campaign
- Brand Registry needed for sellersVendors can run them without it
How Sponsored Display reaches shoppers
2 waysProduct targeting
Your ad on chosen product pages and categories: rival listings, complementary products and your own pages.
Audience remarketing
Shoppers who viewed or bought your products, or similar ones, reached again with your ad.
Where they show
Product pages, search results and the Amazon home page. Audience campaigns can also reach shoppers off Amazon.
Where the money goes
Where Sponsored Display campaigns lose money
Most Sponsored Display accounts we audit leak budget in the same four places. Each one is fixable in the first few weeks.
02Leak
Your own pages left open
Rival Display ads sit on your product pages and pull shoppers away at the last step.
FixDefence campaigns on every one of your product pages.
03Leak
Targeting rivals you can’t beat
Ads run on rival pages where their price or rating is better, so shoppers stay put.
FixRival pages picked where you win on price or rating.

Judged on the wrong number
Display is judged on clicks or last-click ACoS alone, so good campaigns get cut and weak ones stay.

- 03
Remarketing
Viewed and bought audiencesBrings back shoppers who viewed your products and did not buy.

The right window for every productEach product gets its own remarketing window, from 7 to 90 days, based on how long its buyers take to decide.
Test, every monthA new image, headline or audience runs against the current winner. The better one stays.
What we manage
Every Sponsored Display lever, managed weekly
Targeting, audiences, creative, bids, negatives and budgets. Pick one to see how we run it.
01 · Targeting
Product and audience targeting
Product targeting puts your ad on chosen product pages and categories. Audience targeting reaches shoppers by what they viewed, bought or are interested in.
- Products: rival ASINs, complements and your own pages
- Categories refined by brand, price and rating
- Audiences: views, purchases and interests
Targeting types
Managed weekly| Type | Reaches | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Product | Shoppers on chosen product pages | Defence and conquest |
| Category | Shoppers browsing a category | Reach with guard rails |
| Audience | Shoppers by what they do | Remarketing and reach |
02 · Audiences
Audiences built from what shoppers do
Views and purchase remarketing bring shoppers back. Amazon interest and in-market audiences find new ones. Lookback windows are set per product.
- Views remarketing with 7- to 90-day lookback windows
- Purchase remarketing for refills and cross-sells
- In-market and interest audiences for reach
Audiences · sample
Managed weekly| Audience | Lookback | Job |
|---|---|---|
| Viewed your product | 14 days | Bring back |
| Viewed similar products | 30 days | Conquest |
| Bought your product | 90 days | Refill |
03 · Creative
Creative that stands out on a busy page
Amazon builds a default ad from your listing. We add a custom image, headline and logo where it lifts click-through, and test one change a month.
- Custom lifestyle image and headline
- Your brand logo on every ad
- One creative test every month
Creative test · sample
Managed weekly| Creative | Click-through | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Default listing image | 0.31% | Replaced |
| Custom image and headline | 0.48% | Winner |
04 · Bidding
Bidding set to each campaign’s goal
Sponsored Display can optimise for page visits, conversions or reach. We set the goal per campaign and move budget to the campaigns that turn views into sales.
- Conversions for remarketing and conquest
- Page visits for defence and new products
- Reach, paid per 1,000 impressions, for awareness audiences
Campaign goals
Managed weekly| Campaign | Optimises for | Pays per |
|---|---|---|
| Remarketing | Conversions | Click |
| Conquest | Conversions | Click |
| Defence | Page visits | Click |
| Reach | Reach | 1,000 impressions |
05 · Negatives
Negative targets that protect the budget
Rival pages and categories that spend without selling are removed every week, and your own products are kept out of conquest campaigns.
- Negative product targets for pages that never convert
- Brands excluded from category targeting
- Your own ASINs kept out of conquest
This week’s negatives · sample
Managed weekly| Target | Spend | Sales | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rival ASIN B0… | $44 | 0 | Negative ASIN |
| Brand “Rival C” in category | $31 | 0 | Brand excluded |
| Your own ASINs in conquest | - | - | Excluded |
06 · Budgets
Budgets that follow the sales
Budget moves every week to the campaigns with the best ROAS and TACoS, and stays topped up for Prime Day, Q4 and launches.
- Weekly budget moves by ROAS and TACoS
- Event budgets for Prime Day, Q4 and promotions
- Caps so Display never eats the Sponsored Products budget
Budget check · sample
Managed weekly| Campaign | ROAS | Budget used | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Remarketing, 30 days | 7.4 | 100% | Raise |
| Conquest | 3.9 | 71% | Hold |

What are Amazon Sponsored Display ads?
Amazon ads that reach shoppers by what they view and buy, not only by what they search. They show on product pages, in search results and on the Amazon home page, and are best known for bringing back shoppers who looked at your product but did not buy.
Do I need Brand Registry for Sponsored Display?
Sellers need to be enrolled in Amazon Brand Registry. Vendors can run Sponsored Display without it.
Where do Sponsored Display ads appear?
On Amazon product pages, in search results and on the Amazon home page. Audience campaigns can also reach shoppers on apps and websites outside Amazon.
How much do Sponsored Display ads cost?
You pay per click, or per 1,000 viewable impressions on campaigns built for reach, through Amazon’s auction. Our management is a flat $1,000-$5,000 a month on top of your ad spend, never a percentage of it. See pricing.
What is the difference between Sponsored Display and Sponsored Products?
Sponsored Products target searches and product pages with keywords and ASINs. Sponsored Display targets shoppers by what they do, such as what they viewed or bought, and defends your product pages. We run both, each with its own job. See Sponsored Products.
What is views remarketing?
Showing your ad again to shoppers who viewed your product, or similar products, but did not buy. You choose how far back to look, from 7 to 90 days, and we set that window for each product.
Should I defend my own product pages?
Usually, yes. Without defence, rival Display ads can sit on your listing and pull shoppers away at the last step. Defence campaigns tend to cost little and also cross-sell the rest of your range.
How do you measure Sponsored Display?
On ROAS, new-to-brand orders and TACoS together, not clicks alone. Display often starts a sale that another ad type finishes, so we read it as part of the whole account.
How soon will I see results?
Defence and remarketing go live in week one and your first Share Report arrives in week two. Remarketing sales usually show first, while conquest and new-to-brand growth build over the first 90 days.
Is there a long-term contract?
No. Management runs month-to-month with 30 days’ notice and no setup fee.
