In a saturated pool of Amazon marketplace sellers, brands aggressively search for creative methods to stand out against their competition. One guaranteed approach to consider is advertising using Amazon’s Demand-Side-Platform (DSP) to boost brand awareness. Amazon DSP ads enable advertisers to programmatically buy display, video, and audio ads both on and off Amazon, targeting existing and potential customers. However, Amazon sellers new to DSP shouldn’t expect an uptick in sales just by joining the platform.

George Meressa, digital marketer-turned-Amazon DSP advertising expert, explains DSP advertising isn’t an effective strategy if a product is underperforming. To generate increasing sales, a product must produce at least 5000 impressions per month. If you’ve reached an impasse and are unsure of how to leverage advertising, you may need the services of a DSP advertising provider such as Clear Ads. At Clear Ads, Amazon DSP advertising experts help you identify your target audience, determine desirable product locations, and create advert content to maximize product visibility and sales. Additionally, Clear Ads cultivates consistent contact and provides monthly reports outlining your account’s productivity and performance. 

In this episode of the eComm Breakthrough Podcast, Josh Hadley interviews George Meressa, Founder and CEO of Clear Ads, to discuss the best DSP advertising strategies for growing a business. George explains the difference between DSP advertising and sponsored advertising, how to access Amazon DSP, and shares successful brand-growth case studies.
