"Amazon AMS"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Amazon Sponsored Ads?

I like how you can create several different campaigns and see how each campaign is doing. The campaign section shows you how many people have clicked on your campaign, how long you're running your campaign for, how much you've spent/sales, your own budget, etc. It's nice to have a platform that makes it easy to run campaigns while also keeping track of important data so that you can compare your past campaigns to your future ones.

What do you dislike about Amazon Sponsored Ads?

I dislike the creative end to it on the stores side. I mainly use Amazon AMS to create and build brand store pages. The creative tools in the brand store page is not as ideal as I hoped to boost my creativity. There are set tiles that you can add different types of content too but the only issue is that the tiles are set in stone so if you want to change to a different tile you'd have to create a new one.

"Amazon Sponsored Ads are a waste of time and energy "
1/5
What do you like best about Amazon Sponsored Ads?

I like how simple the entire system works together. It allows you to put your most valued item on top of people's search list so they are more likely to buy it. This has helped sell more product and become a little bit more powerful in the selling world. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Sponsored Ads?

Honestly, it seems that it is a waste of money and time. More than likely people will walk or "click" away from the sponsored items as they seem them as being more spammy. I feel that it might have driven some sales, but for the most part it did not give us a positive ROI, which was the main goal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It brought in customers!"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Amazon Sponsored Ads?

I love the ease of using Amazon Advertising. I was fairly new when my previous employer brought me into the team and part of my job was to help set up ads along with a few other partners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Sponsored Ads?

Sometimes it took several tries to get the ad up and running. Seemed to be an issue with amazon and not on our end, luckily we weren’t working on a time limit when creating these ads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"AMS Is a must for retailers "
5/5
What do you like best about Amazon Sponsored Ads?

AMS allows companied to pull real time analytics and find out consumer behavior data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Sponsored Ads?

I don't like how you can't see the list of automatic keywords that they pull and some of the bidding products categories are extremely high. The first year is trail run in analyzing and modifying campaigns. It is also very time consuming and takes a full time team to set up Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Why not use Amazon Web Services?"
5/5
What do you like best about Amazon Sponsored Ads?

Amazon Web Services offers a lot of tools that assist both individual and startup companies. For a company, it is very helpful because our development team finds each AWS tool beneficial, such as registering a domain, building a web app, and connecting an IoT device. The time reduction in the development of a single application is significant, and registering a domain is very fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Sponsored Ads?

A little tip that Amazon Web Services needs to resolve very quickly is that when you are going to create an account, the step of phone validation is so hard to type the validation code that AWS assigns us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
