Facebook ads provide a powerful channel for brands selling on Amazon to display products to target audiences. By effectively using Facebook ads, brands can improve product rankings and sales in the short term. At the same time, brands can maintain customers in the long term.

Why promote Amazon products through Facebook Ads?

Facebook ads can greatly increase brand influence, narrow the target audience. It is an ideal advertising platform to attract new potential customers to become repeat customers.

And Facebook has over 2 billion active monthly users. And with Facebook ads, you can proactively show your products to people who have not searched for products, and they are also very likely to become your customers. This is a fantastic opportunity to reach potential buyers and boost your traffic at Amazon.

Things you have to know Before creating your first campaign

1. Prepare Your listing

Always prepare and optimize your product first. Since the purpose of Facebook ads is to improve listing rankings, if you do not have a good listing, you are giving up the opportunity to increase sales.

Please follow this to prepare your listing:

Keywords: Title, background search keywords, product highlights, and descriptions should include words with high relevance and searchability and relatively low competitiveness.

Description: If you want to include as many relevant and high-traffic keywords as possible in your ads, then your listing copy must be readable and persuasive in order to convert page views into sales.

High-quality pictures: A compelling picture is essential to show customers the product. Pictures may be more important than copywriting, because we receive visual information much faster than text messages, so use pictures to tell customers your product story!

A+ content page: Use pictures instead of text in product descriptions. Successful brands will use this feature to enable customers to understand the product in-depth and tell their own brand story.

2. Use a landing page

Sending Facebook traffic straight to your product listing often decreases the chance of your campaign being a success.

Users on Facebook are not triggered to purchase like customers searching for products on Amazon. Therefore, under the same conditions, traffic from Facebook is less likely to be converted than traffic from Amazon. If you direct Facebook traffic to your product listing, the conversion rate may drop, which will affect your product ranking.
