Overview

Product Information on Amazon DSP

Updated 13th October 2025

What is Amazon DSP?

Amazon DSP is a software that enables advertisers to programmatically buy display, video, and audio ads both on and off Amazon’s websites and apps. The software provides targeting capabilities using audience segments and contextual signals to help reach relevant consumers across devices. It includes features for campaign management, reporting, and optimization, allowing users to control budgets and placements and to measure campaign performance. Amazon DSP addresses business needs related to increasing brand visibility, driving conversions, and managing cross-channel digital advertising strategies through comprehensive access to inventory and data insights.

Amazon DSP Pricing

Amazon DSP is software offered on a cost-per-impression model, where advertisers pay based on the number of ad impressions served. The software provides options for both self-service and managed service pricing, with managed service typically requiring a minimum spend. Pricing may vary depending on audience targeting, ad formats, and campaign requirements.

Performance of Amazon DSP Across Market Features

Amazon DSP Likes & Dislikes

Like

What I like most about Amazon DSP is the sheer scale of reaching audiences who actually buy, the laser-sharp targeting with shopper data, and the fact that I can hit every part of the funnel with video, display and I believe even in audio, all in one ecosystem.

Like

Easy to contact the rep

Like

The depth of audience insights - being able to target based on shopping and browsing behaviour is a huge advantage. It feels like we are reaching people who are ready to buy, not just broad demographics. 1. First party Amazon data that gives access to high intent audiences. 2. Detailed reporting that helps measure performance and optimize campaigns. 3. On and off Amazon reach so we can extend campaigns beyond just Amazon's ecosystem.

Dislike

What I dislike the most? The learning curve is steeper than it needs to be, the reporting can feel like deciphering ancient runes, especially when dealing with fee metrics, and campaign tweaks don't always move as fast as the media world does.

Dislike

- Currency in AUD - Different requirement in terms of creative

Dislike

1. Slightly steep learning curve - the dashboard takes some time to get used to. 2. Reporting interface could be more intuitive, though the data itself is great. 3. Higher minimum spend requirement which may not suit smaller brands.

    My experience has been very positive. Amazon DSP really helps connect campaigns with the right audience at the right time. The access to Amazon's shopper data makes targeting much more precise compared to other platforms I have used.
