Episode #62 - "Understanding New Amazon Ads Campaign Budget Rules and Their Implications on Your Strategy 💰🔎🎯"
In today's episode, we dive into the new changes to Amazon Ads and the campaign budget rules. We discuss how the updated rules now allow budget rules to stack and add up, potentially increasing the spend significantly. We'll also talk about some potential drawbacks of the current setup, including its limitations in terms of decreasing budgets and scaling rules across campaigns. Join us to stay informed about this important change and understand how it could impact your Amazon strategy.
Welcome to Thursday's episode of the Amazon Ads Raw Daily podcast, episode 62! Today we focus on the recent update to Amazon Ads campaign budget rules. We'll delve into the implications of this change and discuss some potential drawbacks that you should be aware of. The recent update to Amazon Ads now allows budget rules to stack and add up. This change implies that if you have more than one budget rule on a campaign, all active budget rules will add up, which contrasts the old rule where only the rule with the highest budget increase applied. This new structure allows for multiple budget rules to work in tandem, increasing your budget significantly based on different criteria. For instance, you can have a performance-based rule that increases the budget based on performance metrics like low ACoS, and you can also set up a rule for specific dates where you expect higher traffic, like Prime Day. While this new setup can enable more flexible and dynamic budgeting, there are some potential issues to keep in mind. As it stands, budget rules only allow for an increase in budget and do not facilitate budget decrease. This limitation could lead to overexpenditure if not managed correctly. Furthermore, scaling budget rules across campaigns is currently a manual and time-consuming process that could benefit from improvements like copy-paste functionality or a centralized rules management system. In today's episode, we break down these details, offering practical insights and examples, and sharing our perspective on the pros and cons of this update. Whether you're curious about the new budget rules or are looking for tips on how to manage your Amazon Ads campaign budgets effectively, we've got you covered!

Episode #98 - Amazon's AI Partnership & Mistral AI's Powerful Model 🤖
Summary: This Thursday, we're diving into the world of off-Amazon placements and how they've now become more visible in placement reports for sponsored products. Plus, a fascinating exploration of how algorithms, particularly those used by video platforms, determine content exposure. Description: Good morning to all our Amazon Ads Raw Daily listeners. Today, we'll be shedding light on a recent development that has been making waves in the Amazon Ads space. Starting off, we'll delve into the realm of off-Amazon placements. For those out of the loop, these placements are the new kids on the block, automatically enrolled into sponsor product campaigns in the US. These placements feature on platforms like BuzzFeed, Pinterest, and other content-rich sites under the Amazon content network. Now, advertisers can see how their campaigns are performing on these platforms thanks to the new "Off Amazon" category in placement reports for sponsored products. However, a lingering question is how these placements fare in terms of conversion, considering they might attract an audience with potentially lower purchase intent compared to on-site Amazon visitors. The data is still in its early stages, but indications hint at a rather modest click-through rate. Switching lanes, our focus shifts to the world of algorithms. Almost every platform you can think of, from Amazon to YouTube to TikTok, operates based on these intricate formulas. Ever wondered how certain content gets recommended to you or why some videos go viral while others stay stagnant? It's all thanks to these algorithms. An AI app named Opus Clip has managed to leverage this by transforming longer YouTube videos into bite-sized clips tailored for platforms like TikTok and YouTube Shorts. From personal experience, these algorithms seem to work in stages, gradually pushing content to larger audiences based on engagement levels. Intrigued? Reach out to us with your thoughts or any insights on these topics. As always, your engagement keeps us going. Stay curious and until next time, take care!
Title: Episode #96 - Fresh API Updates and A Glimpse into the New Ad Console Interface 🎧📱 Summary: This Wednesday, join us as we dive deep into the newest updates from Amazon's Ad Console and the Amazon Ads API. Learn about the novel "exports API," its capabilities, the latest model documentation, and Amazon's intriguing new beta for video ad campaigns. Description: Greetings to our dedicated listeners of Amazon Ads Raw! Apologies for missing out on yesterday's episode, but today we’re back with some noteworthy updates from Amazon's world. Firstly, we discuss the latest API addition, the "exports API." This unique API in the Amazon Ads universe provides a snapshot of your setup, offering a one-time export of your metadata and the present state of all setups. Contrasting with the historical data access, this API focuses on the metadata. Notably, it currently delivers only campaign and ad group level details, but there's ongoing work for targeting and ad specifications. An additional feature to note is the new documentation for common models, shedding light on campaign statuses, ad group statuses, and more. Switching gears to the Ad Console, we highlight an exciting find – a new beta feature related to video ads. Positioned under the campaign creation section, this beta guides users in creating video campaigns for sponsored brands and sponsored display. What’s interesting is the simplified process it offers, particularly catering to advertisers less familiar with the intricacies of Amazon Ads. With just a few clicks, choose a strategy, select a product, decide on targeting, and you're good to go! Despite these new introductions, a pressing concern is Amazon's motivation behind these features. While simplicity and user experience are paramount, the growing feeling is that Amazon's primary focus might be on driving more advertising revenue rather than genuinely enhancing user experience. Thank you for joining us today. If you're an advertiser, stay curious, test these new features, and always strive for better insights. Until next time, take care!
