Amazon Ads are Amazon’s equivalent to Google Ads and since launching in 2012 have become a real traffic-driving contender. Similarly to Google, Amazon ad targeting is mostly based on the keywords that an Amazon searcher puts into Amazon’s SERPs (search engine result pages), but there are some other exciting advertising options with Amazon that are worth a try!  

StoreAutomator A Quick Introduction

If you’re ready to ship, you’ve obviously made a sale (or a few!), so congratulations! Hopefully, you made a little profit as well. After all, that is the point, right? Here are a few helpful tips for shipping to help keep your shipping costs as low as possible. Benjamin Franklin said it best when he said, “A penny saved is a penny earned”

When I was a kid and the family needed something, like an appliance or a bedspread, we went to The Mall. Usually before we made the big drive and the half day commitment, mom and dad looked through the paper for coupons or sales ads. Of course, I loved going to The Mall: the lights, the high ceilings, the smell of just-off-the-truck merchandise. My parents probably didn’t enjoy it as much.

So…with all that effort (and cost!) to get new clients, why are you not taking advantage of the monster sales channel that is the Amazon Marketplace?
