Amazon Ecommerce. Initial Results Show Increased Revenue and Return on Advertising Spend
San Francisco (September 13, 2017) – Skai, the global leader in agile marketing, today announced the general availability of Skai E-Commerce Marketing. Using cross-channel insights from social, search and now e-commerce, brands can better connect with consumers on Amazon ecommerce from discovery to point of purchase, with initial results demonstrating increased revenue and return on ad spend (ROAS), a decrease in cost-per-click (CPC) and considerable time savings.
Amazon ecommerce as a marketing channel is poised to become one of the fastest growing areas of advertising due to its ability to reach highly engaged audiences with strong purchase intent. A survey commissioned by Skai of 3,100 consumers across the USA, Germany, UK and France found that Amazon is one of the main sites that shoppers use to find products, alternative ideas and to compare prices.
