Episode #80 - Amazon Brand Stores, Subscribe & Save Updates, and the Power of the DIBB Framework 🎧📱
Summary: In today's episode, we delve into the recent changes observed in Amazon's brand store and the notable testing on subscribe and save options. As the week comes to an end, we also introduce the DIBB (Data, Insights, Belief, Bet) framework, a tool that can enhance your decision-making and argumentative abilities in the business world.
Description: Good morning and a hearty welcome to all our listeners, whether you're joining us for the first time or are a regular. In this episode of Amazon Ads Raw Daily, we're uncovering more nuances around Amazon's marketing technology and advertising. It's Friday, and we're not only focusing on Amazon but also sharing an interesting storytelling framework that can be a game-changer for your presentations and business discussions. First off, for those who have brands emphasizing repeat purchases, there's some news. Amazon seems to be testing the visibility of 'subscribe and save' options within the brand stores. Typically, when you look at a product detail page, beneath the price you'll spot an additional discounted rate available for those who opt for 'subscribe and save'. Previously, this feature wasn't apparent in brand stores, but our recent observations indicate that it's changing. The change, currently in its testing phase, showcases the product's full potential, making the pricing even more transparent in brand stores. However, that's not the sole update from Amazon. There's also a tweak in the Amazon Ads API. While admittedly some of these updates can be technically dense, the Advanced Tool Center on Amazon is a great resource to stay abreast with these changes. Switching gears, let's talk about the DIBB framework. If you've ever had to present an argument, especially one backed by data, this approach might resonate. DIBB stands for Data, Insights, Belief, and Bet. It structures your argument in a way that progresses logically from presenting data to suggesting an actionable step. Spotify, for example, once used a similar rationale to make a pivotal shift towards mobile. This methodology not only ensures that your arguments are grounded in data but also effectively communicates the implications and necessary actions. Wrapping up, thanks for tuning in this Friday. Here's to a weekend of relaxation, and we'll catch up with more insights come Monday. Auf Wiedersehen!

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!
