Why You Should Start Using Portfolios in Amazon Ads
by Brad Hunt • July 24, 2024
Many Amazon sellers overlook the value of portfolios in their Amazon ads strategy. It’s surprising, given how beneficial they can be for organizing and optimizing campaigns. Let’s explore why portfolios are a tool we love to use and how they can enhance your Amazon advertising efforts.
Benefits of Using Portfolios in Amazon Ads
Staying Organized
Portfolios help you keep your Amazon ad campaigns organized in various ways. Depending on your product catalog, you can group your campaigns effectively:
- By ASIN: Ideal for sellers with a smaller product catalog, this method allows you to manage campaigns specific to individual products.
- By Product Category: Organizing by product category can streamline your campaign management for larger catalogs.
- By Product Margin: Grouping campaigns by product margin helps you focus on the profitability of different product lines.
Effective Budget Management
One of the standout features of portfolios is their ability to simplify budget management. Here’s how:
- Shared Budgets: You can allocate a shared budget across all campaigns within a portfolio, ensuring that your spending aligns with your overall strategy.
- Budget Caps: Setting caps on portfolios prevents overspending, keeping your ad spend under control.
- Performance Tracking: Portfolios make it easy to compare performance across different groups. This clarity allows you to shift budgets to the best-performing portfolios, optimizing your adspend more effectively than focusing solely on the campaign level.
