Amazon Ads FAQ

Welcome to Amazon Ads. To help you get started, we've answered some of the most frequently asked questions from newcomers.

What is Amazon Ads?

Amazon Ads offers a range of products and information to help you achieve your advertising goals, for registered sellers, vendors, book vendors, Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) authors, app developers, and/or agencies (refer to each product's page for eligibility criteria). With our insights, reach, and premium entertainment properties from music to streaming, you can connect with the right audiences in the right places, both on and off Amazon.

How does Amazon Ads work?

To get started with self-service advertising products, including Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands, Sponsored Display, and Stores, visit the Register page and choose one of the options to enroll.

Display ads, video ads, and ads that run through the Amazon DSP can be managed independently or with an Amazon Ads account executive. Contact us to get started.

How much does Amazon Ads cost?
  • Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands, and Sponsored Display are cost-per-click ads, meaning you pay only when customers click your ad, and you control your campaign budget.
  • The cost of display ad and video ad campaigns can vary depending on format and placement.
  • Audio ads are sold on a cost-per-mille basis.
  • Advertising through a managed-service option with an Amazon Ads account executive (display ads, video ads, and ads that are run through the Amazon DSP) typically require a minimum spend of $50,000 (USD). Contact an Amazon Ads account executive for more information.
  • You can create a Store for free.
