How does Amazon DSP work?

Amazon DSP works using programmatic technology to facilitate real-time ad buying. Advertisers can customize their ads for their target audience and segment their audience based on different parameters, such as buying behaviors, interests and demographics.

In addition, Amazon DSP offers advertisers access to a broad inventory of advertising space, both on the Amazon network and on third-party websites and applications.

The ads that can be purchased are Display, Audio and Video.

What is programmatic advertising?

Programmatic advertising is a method of digital ad buying that uses automated technology to enable real-time ad buying and selling. This can increase the efficiency and accuracy of advertising campaigns by allowing advertisers to target their ads to specific audiences and optimize the performance of their ads in real time.

How does programmatic advertising work?

Generally, there is a supply platform (or SSP) and a demand platform (or DSP) and the process is as follows:

  1. When users click on a publisher's website, the publisher conducts an auction to display ads across one or more SSPs using a header bid (i.e., the highest bid among all advertisers).
  2. Once it receives the request from the SSP, the DSP platform places a bid for that opportunity to display the ad on behalf of the advertiser, taking into account campaign strategies, budget, size of creative and other factors.
  3. The publisher automatically assigns impressions to the advertiser with the highest bid, either the advertiser or the DSP offering the highest CPM (cost per thousand or cost per thousand ad impressions).

With multiple DSPs, what is the advantage of Amazon DSP?

Amazon DSP differentiates itself from other programmatic buying platforms in several key ways. One of the most notable differentiators is its access to Amazon's vast network, which includes:

This allows advertisers to reach a broader and more diverse audience. In addition, Amazon DSP allows advertisers to target their ads to lookalike audiences, or audiences that resemble their existing customers, which can increase the relevance and effectiveness of their ads.

It also provides detailed analytics that advertisers can use to track and optimize the performance of their ads.

Who can use Amazon DSP?

Any advertiser, brand, agency or Seller with a minimum investment of $50,000, although the minimum investment may vary by country. In addition, it is not necessary to sell products on Amazon to use the DSP.

Do I recommend to use it?
