It’s no surprise that Amazon rakes in a significant amount of their profit through advertising (more commonly referred to as pay-per-click). However, it’s not just Amazon that benefits from sellers running PPC. Sellers themselves can achieve significant sales utilizing PPC, and, just like there are tons of different sellers and products on the Amazon market, there are just as many advertising strategies and types of PPC you can implement.
But what types of PPC campaigns are the most effective and why? In this article, we will be discussing the significant value of Sponsored Brand Videos as an option and why you, as an Amazon Seller, can get a lot of juice utilizing them.

With the introduction of PPC video, advertising on Amazon was catapulted to a whole new level by targeting keywords via captivating videos. It is the latest ad format that allows retailers to leverage Sponsored Brand ads and tap into the psychological power of video content, which has proven to be vastly more effective than images and written content alone.
