Question: A new premium pet food brand wants to launch a comprehensive marketing campaign using Amazon Ads. They aim to first build brand awareness, then drive consideration, and finally encourage purchases. Which advertising strategy sequence would be most effective?
- Begin with audio ads and sponsorships to reach demographic audiences, progress to online video and display ads for in-market audiences, followed by Sponsored Products for category browsers
- Start with Sponsored Products ads only, then gradually add display ads and finally include Streaming TV ads for category browsing
- Focus exclusively on Sponsored Display video throughout the entire customers’ journey to reach demographic audiences
Explanation
A full-funnel strategy matches ad products to the stage of the customer journey they are best suited to influence. Audio ads and sponsorships can help build early awareness by reaching broader audiences before active shopping intent is established. Online video ads and display tactics support consideration by educating relevant in-market audiences. Sponsored Products then supports conversion by reaching shoppers closer to purchase within Amazon shopping results and product detail pages.
Why the other options are incorrect
Sponsored Products is incorrect as the starting point because it focuses on lower-funnel shopping intent before enough brand awareness has been built.
Sponsored Display video is incorrect because relying on one format across the entire customer journey limits full-funnel coverage.
