When it comes to measuring success, Prithviraj encourages advertisers to utilize Amazon’s two flagship solutions for this work:
- Through the power of Amazon audience insights, Amazon was able to determine that SF Bay had fewer purchasers in the 25-35 age range than similar brands
- From there, Amazon took a look at customer reviews to see if any common attributes were called out by customers (many focused on flavor and its environmental friendliness)
- Amazon then took a look at grocery-focused creative insights to understand what would help performance across all KPIs. From there, they tested a variety of messages and creative to see what really resonated with consumers.
- Amazon found an 8% increase in CTR with flavor focused messaging as opposed to environmentally friendly messaging and by leveraging audience insights, just one year later, SF Bay has grown their millennial audience significantly (their intended goal)
