Episode #47 - "Evaluating Advertising Strategies and the Importance of Contextual Understanding in Performance Marketing 📊🔍"In this episode, we dissect the concept of "what works" in Amazon advertising and performance marketing. We delve into the importance of understanding the broader context when evaluating advertising strategies and the value of testing these strategies in various contexts. We also stress the importance of looking beyond advertising metrics to comprehend the overall impact on business.Welcome to Episode 47 of our Amazon Ads Raw Daily podcast, recorded this Wednesday. Today, we delve deep into the conundrum of "what works" when it comes to Amazon advertising and performance marketing.Evaluating Advertising Strategies: We start the conversation with a discussion around the complexity of defining "what works" in advertising, especially on Amazon. With my experience in performance marketing over the past decade, I highlight the lack of one-size-fits-all rules. The effectiveness of any strategy is contingent on multiple factors, such as product type, seasonality, and many others, making it challenging to prescribe universally applicable recommendations.The Importance of Testing: We emphasize the necessity of testing practices in your unique context, adapting them to your product setup, and examining the results they yield for you. No piece of advice should be accepted wholesale, but it should instead be tested and validated within your individual business context.Looking Beyond Advertising Metrics: In the discussion, I touch upon a common pitfall where agencies and advertisers focus too narrowly on advertising numbers, losing sight of the larger picture. It is critical not just to analyze advertising metrics but also to understand their influence on total revenue, profitability, unit velocity, bestseller rank, and organic ranks.This episode stresses the need for proper testing, structured processes, and comprehensive analysis to successfully implement advertising strategies. And remember, don't follow others' opinions blindly, including mine. Instead, listen, think critically, form your own judgments, and continually learn.Thanks for listening and if you like the podcast make sure to subscribe!Check out the YouTube Channel as well:https://youtube.com/@AmazonAdsRawDailyMore Infos about the Me & the Podcast can be found here:https://alexanderswade.com/amazon-ads-raw-daily/Follow me on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexanderswade/ Hosted on Acast.
