Ad Spend is the amount of money businesses spend on advertising campaigns and is used as a metric for measuring ad performance. Amazon Advertising is a tool that allows sellers to only pay when buyers click on ads. As ads for brand products evolve, Amazon’s advertising business grows and attracts target audiences. Companies that utilize Amazon Advertising reap several benefits, such as improving brand awareness, reducing sales cycles, understanding customer behavior, and tracking results, allowing businesses to make data-driven decisions.

Destaney Wishon, an advertising agency owner, explains that Amazon sellers shouldn’t advertise only for clicks. Instead, they need to understand the overall advantage, which is to improve product organic ranking.
