Amazon Attribution is a free advertising tool that allows you to target your products within Amazon with external campaigns to track traffic. This functionality, for brands that sell on the platform, offers performance analysis from non-Amazon channels of digital advertising, such as social networks, articles and email. It is a way to know how your customers discover, research and buy from you on Amazon.
Thanks to Amazon Attribution, it will make it easier for you to track the effectiveness of an external campaign in order to optimize it and scale sales, since it is important to frequently monitor advertising to ensure that they are profitable. You may not have gotten detailed reports on your marketing efforts before and were a bit blind with ads on Google or Facebook, but now you can trust the data Amazon gives you about where customers come from and their buying habits.
What does Amazon Attribution measure?
As if it were an internal campaign, Amazon allows you to know key metrics such as:
- Impressions
- Clicks
- Detail Page Views
- Number of purchases attributed to each channel
- “Added to cart”
- Total sales
You can see all this data through reports available in the console. These reports are updated in real time and can be exported.
