As Amazon sellers, driving lots of traffic to our listing is very important. Whether be it through Amazon PPC campaigns and/or external marketing campaigns like Facebook or Google. Back then, it’s hard to measure the impact of marketing campaigns especially if they are from outside sources like social media paid ads. Thankfully, Amazon is always working hard to help sellers especially brands be better at what they do. Among those efforts is helping registered brands be able to get more insights on the impact of their marketing campaigns to their sales through the Amazon Attribution Beta.
What is Amazon Attribution Beta?
As stated on Amazon’s website, Amazon Attribution Beta will help brands measure the impact of external marketing campaigns based on how customers discover, research, and buy products on the platform.
Through its unique conversion metrics, brands will have a comprehensive view of how each of their marketing strategies contribute to buying activity on the marketplace. Enabling brands to analyze how effective their external marketing tactics are. These unique conversion metrics are as follows:
- Amazon detail page views
- Purchase rate
- Add to carts
- Sales
Amazon Attribution can track and measure traffic from nearly any source. This includes rich media or paid social media promotions like Facebook or Instagram. Moreover, it can report both orders and revenue for traffic brought directly to Amazon (i.e., traffic from a landing page). And by creating orders and line items, brands are able to create unique tracking templates and measure performance to their desired level.
