Frequently Asked Questions

What is Sponsored Display advertising on Amazon in 2026, and how does it differ from Sponsored Products?

Sponsored Display is a retargeting and prospecting ad format that appears off-Amazon (on websites, apps) and on Amazon product detail pages. Unlike Sponsored Products (keyword-targeted), Sponsored Display uses audience targeting (interests, purchase behavior) and product targeting (competing ASINs). It's ideal for remarketing cart abandoners and reaching new customers outside Amazon's search results.

How do I target competitors' products with Sponsored Display ads in 2026?

Use 'Product Targeting' to select specific ASINs or categories of competing products. For example, target ASINs of top-selling vacuum cleaners if you sell a new model. Set bid adjustments +20% for high-converting competitors. Avoid targeting low-volume or irrelevant products. Monitor placement performance weekly and pause underperforming targets.

What are the best practices for optimizing Sponsored Display campaigns in 2026?

Use automated bidding with 'Target Cost per Acquisition' (CPA) and set a realistic target based on your profit margin. Create separate campaigns for retargeting (past visitors) and prospecting (new audiences). Use dynamic creatives with product images and promotions. Exclude customers who purchased in the last 30 days to avoid ad waste.
