Sponsored Products are keyword-targeted ads that promote your individual listings and appear in shopping results and on product detail pages on Amazon. You select your products to advertise and choose your keywords or use automatic targeting instead. Control how much you want to spend on your bids and budgets, and measure your ads' performance with campaign reports.

Achieve your business goals
Increase sales
Many shoppers come to Amazon ready to buy. Advertising helps you reach shoppers looking for products like yours.
Get discovered
Advertising can support the visibility of your brand and products. Ads appear in visible placements, like page one of shopping results and on product detail pages.
Control costs
Pay only for the clicks your ads receive. Campaign reports track ad spend and performance, so you can learn what’s working and fine-tune your campaigns.
How advertising on Amazon works
1. Create a campaign
To create a Sponsored Products campaign, pick the products you want to advertise and choose your budget and campaign duration. We recommend a daily budget of SAR 40 and running your campaign without an end date, so shoppers can discover your products any time they shop on Amazon.
Then, choose between automatic or manual targeting to be able to bid on keywords. Automatic targeting is the easiest way to get started.
For Sponsored Brands, choose three products you want to advertise. Then add your logo and a custom headline, and decide which keywords to target and how much you want to bid for clicks. Choose where you want to drive traffic: your Store or a product list page featuring a selection of your products. Preview your ad and landing page and submit your ad for review and approval. Ad moderation can take up to 72 hours. Review Amazon’s creative acceptance policies for more information.
For Stores, use our prebuilt templates, drag-and-drop tiles, and dynamic widgets to create your customized Store. No website experience is needed.

2. Shoppers see your ad
Sponsored Products launch immediately, while Sponsored Brands and Stores undergo a moderation review. Based on relevance and bid, ads are shown to shoppers.
When shoppers click on products featured in your ads, they’re taken to your product detail page. When they click on your logo or byline in your Sponsored Brands ad, they’re taken to your Store or product list page.

Pricing
How much does it cost to advertise?
Sponsored Products and Sponsored Brands are cost-per-click ads, meaning you pay only when your ad is clicked. You choose your own budget and how much you want to spend for a click, which you can update at any time.
How do I pay for my ads?
When you advertise, Amazon charges for the number of clicks you receive on your ads. Your seller invoice will indicate that charges are for the cost of advertising under Selling Fees. By default, your advertising fees are deducted from your selling account balance. The total advertising fee is deducted from your seller account during an invoice period. If your seller account doesn’t have enough funds to cover the cost of advertising, the remaining balance will be charged to the credit card you used to register for Selling on Amazon. If we can’t charge your credit card after multiple attempts, your advertising account will be placed into payment failure.
You do have the option to switch your payment method to deduct from a credit card. Each time your credit card is charged, you receive an invoice. The invoice date is your monthly invoice date, or the date when your credit level changes. See more information on billing here.

How does the daily budget work?
You set a maximum daily amount that you are willing to spend on your ads. For Sponsored Products, the amount you enter is the average daily amount you are willing to spend over a calendar month. For example, if you set your daily budget at SAR 100, you may receive up to SAR 3,100 worth of clicks in that calendar month (assuming a full 31-day month). For Sponsored Brands, the amount you enter is the maximum daily amount you are willing to spend for each day and does not roll over to the next day.
The minimum daily budget is SAR 1.00, but we recommend a minimum of SAR 40 to ensure your campaigns don't stop showing in the middle of the day.
