Marketplace Advertising
Marketplace advertising refers to the practice of promoting products or services directly within online marketplaces, such as Amazon, eBay, or Etsy. It involves targeted ads that help sellers increase visibility, drive traffic, and boost sales by reaching customers actively searching for related items.
What is Marketplace Advertising?
Marketplace advertising is the disciplined promotion of products and services directly inside platforms like Amazon, eBay, and Etsy, leveraging sponsored listings, product display ads, and keyword bidding to capture high-intent demand. For B2B sellers, it aligns merchandising with procurement behaviors, elevating visibility at the point of search, driving qualified traffic, and accelerating revenue. Effective programs integrate catalog feeds, inventory and pricing synchronization, and compliant creative that showcases features, benefits, and social proof. Data-driven optimization—audience segmentation, negative keywords, bid modifiers, and A/B testing—continually improves return on ad spend, while closed-loop attribution links impressions to orders, informing budgeting, forecasting, and scalable growth.
Example
As a marketer, to run marketplace advertising on Amazon, first identify your product’s keywords. Then, create a Sponsored Products ad campaign by selecting your product, setting a daily budget, and choosing targeted keywords. Launch the campaign to display your product ads to shoppers searching for those keywords, increasing visibility and sales.
