Common Amazon Ad Campaign Management Challenges


Managing Amazon ads comes with its own set of challenges. Based on our experience having worked with 30+ brands we have observed that, no matter whether you are an established Seller looking for new growth opportunities or a smaller Seller facing budget and resource constraints, roadblocks to Amazon sales tend to concentrate in these areas:


Stalling Sales Growth

Many Amazon Sellers generate sales by ranking in top positions specific Amazon Product Listings for specific keywords.

Those keywords drive most traffic to the listings and ultimately generate sales.

Sellers sometimes find it difficult to grow traffic beyond the limitations of their “cash cow” keywords and may also struggle to launch new product listings successfully.

ACoS Control

It is no secret that Amazon ads tend to get more expensive over time.

According to Statista, Amazon average CPCs have increased by close to 30% in between 2020 and 2022.

This makes it difficult for Sellers to maintain their ACoS AND total revenue goals. Especially in tight margin segments there is a prevailing risk that overall sales decline to sustain ACoS, or that ACoS needs to be sacrificed in order sustain healthy top-line sales.

Keyword Selection

A classic advertising challenge is the need for statistically significant findings.

You may target a keyword that seems highly relevant to your Amazon listing, but despite substantial investment, so far the keyword has not generated any conversions.

What do you do next? Pause the keyword? Reduce the bid? If you pull the trigger too early, you may just miss out on a sale, but if you keep spending, you may waste your budget.

Our Process: How We Manage Your Amazon Ads for Success

Our approach to helping you with these (and other) growth problems is always based on a detailed audit that we carry out and discuss with you in detail at the beginning of our collaboration.
The goal of this detailed triage of your Amazon ad Account to identify weak spots and formulate an action plan with clearly defined targets and goalposts to boost your Amazon Sales. Here is a selection of factors that will evaluate:

  • Looking for opportunities to further improve your Amazon SEO and to optimize your Amazon listings (more about our Amazon Listing Optimization Service).
  • Are your ads pacing well, or do they run out of budget just during the hours of the day when people are ready to convert
  • Are your keyword match types set appropriately and have you weeded out non-converting keywords?
  • Are you making use of all the Amazon ad formats as appropriate for your brand and budget?
  • Are you pushing the right products in your ads?
  • Are your creative assets optimized?

FAQ Amazon Advertising Management


1. How much does Amazon ad management cost?


Our full-service ad management retainers start from $900 for smaller Sellers with just a few Amazon Listings but increase based on your ASIN count and sales. Get in touch with us to get a tailored cost proposal.

2. How much should I spend on Amazon Advertising?


It really depends on your profit margin. But as a general rule of thumb, for many products it makes sense to spend around 2.5% of the product sales price on ad clicks (average cost-per-click). For example, a product priced at $30 should have an average ad CPC below $0.75.

3. What is the average Amazon CPC?


Amazon CPCs are typically between $0.15 to $6. But depending on factors such as product niche, campaign goals, competition, seasonality and budget allocation the numbers can vary.

4. How much do most Amazon sellers spend on Amazon advertising?


On average, sellers may spend between $100 and $10,000 per month. However, large brands may also spend substantially more.

5.Why is Amazon advertising so expensive?


The simple answer is: because it works. Ad costs are auction based. Amazon Sellers set the rates by setting maximum bids based on acceptable cost ratios.

6. What is the minimum budget for Amazon ads?


Amazon ad campaigns require a minimum daily budget of $10 to activate performance-based rules. In practice however, that spend may be too low to deliver meaningful impact. Get in touch with us and we can provide you with a budget recommendation based on your margins, sales prices and the competitiveness of your niche.

7. What is ACoS in Amazon advertising?


ACoS (Advertising Cost of Sale) measures ad spend relative to ad sales. It's calculated by dividing ad spend by ad revenue and multiplying by 100.

8. What is a good ACoS?


A good ACoS for most sellers ranges from 15-30%, but it depends on factors such as profit margins, keyword competition, and ad goals.

9. Why is my ACoS so high, and how can I reduce it?


High ACoS can be reduced by optimizing keywords, improving conversion rates, and adjusting bids. Optimizing page content and targeting relevant keywords also helps lower ACoS.

10. What is TACoS in Amazon advertising?


TACoS (Total Advertising Cost of Sales) measures ad spend relative to total sales (including both ad and organic sales), providing a holistic view of advertising efficiency.

11. What is the difference between ACoS and TACoS?


ACoS only considers ad sales, while TACoS accounts for total sales, including both organic and ad-driven purchases, offering a broader view of profitability.

12. How do I check TACoS on Amazon?


TACoS is calculated by dividing ad spend by total sales and multiplying by 100. Monitoring your TACoS helps track the overall impact of advertising on revenue.
