When to start advertising
Begin when your listing is complete, your inventory is stable and your price is competitive. Ads sent to a weak page mainly pay for visits that do not convert.
Rules, fees and programs change. Treat this as a planning guide and confirm current details in the marketplace's own seller help pages before you act.
A simple first structure
- One campaign per product group, not everything in one place.
- A small number of focused keywords per group at first.
- A modest daily budget you are comfortable testing with.
- A written start date, so results can be compared fairly.
Numbers worth watching
Track spend, sales from ads, and your advertising cost of sales against your margin. Compare with total sales over the same period so ads are judged on overall profit, not only on attributed orders.
How to read and adjust
- Wait long enough for meaningful data before changing anything.
- Remove search terms that spend without selling.
- Increase budget only on groups that are profitable.
- Review weekly and keep a log of changes.
