Why are Amazon CPCs skyrocketing?
Amazon Ads is experiencing the same growing pains around this point in its evolution as we saw with Google’s and Facebook’s ad businesses. Early adopters paid pennies on the dollar for clicks in the first years, but competition increased as more marketers flocked to these channels. So, for a short time, prices shot up and caught advertisers off guard. However, eventually, CPCs stabilized, and these channels have flourished since.
Amazon Ad prices are still rising. One of your ways to keep your programs profitable is to ensure you’re getting the most out of each ad format as possible.
“It seems that no area of the market today is immune from inflation pressure. With an ecosystem as dynamic and broad as Amazon’s—sellers, non-endemics, global brands, aggregators, accelerators—there is no singular driver that explains price inflation.”
