The Tools You Need to Perform Better on Amazon
For a very long time, spending money on Google ads was the best way to boot your business. As recently as two years ago, Google Ads dominated the market with an 80% ad share. In recent years though, this has changed. Google is now an incredibly crowded market place for advertisers while Amazon is growing and still a place you can see a lot of value and ROI on what you spend. Here is why Amazon has become the place online advertisers are spending their money in 2019 and how you can get the most out of your Amazon marketplace.
The Growth of Amazon Ads
In 2017, Google had an 80% market share, and Amazon had just 2%. However, recently Amazon has significantly cut into that share. In 2019, Google has dropped to 73.1% and projections show that it should drop to less than 70% by 2021. Amazon, on the other hand, is currently at 12.9% and growing. All told, Amazon ad revenue has increased by $4 billion in both 2018 and 2019. This is a 176% growth since 2017.
How to Take Advantage of Amazon Growth
As an Amazon seller, now is the time to cash in on the Amazon growth and make your move to grow on the platform.

You can also invest in new tools to help you make the most of your Amazon experience.
