Frequently Asked Questions:
Sponsored Products
What does sponsored mean in the Amazon store?
"Sponsored" in Amazon stores means that a seller is advertising a product or listing using Amazon advertising. Sponsored ads can appear on search results pages, product detail pages, or both.
Amazon sellers also have the option to use other Amazon advertising services, such as Sponsored Display and Sponsored Brands, for new product launches and to improve visibility for existing product listings.

What do Sponsored Products ads cost?
The cost of Sponsored Products varies based on how much you bid on a particular keyword and how many people click the ad. For example, if you bid $2 for a keyword and it receives 1,000 clicks per day for a month, then your ad cost could be $2,000 per month.
Cost can also depend on how many units you sell within a month. For instance, if you sell 200 units at $25 each, then you could generate $5,000. Subtract the ad cost from the sales in the previous example and you’d earn $3,000 per campaign. So rather than looking at advertising as an expense, you might find it can be a profitable venture.
