Amazon Sellers and Vendors: Building Brand Loyalty
Helping shoppers discover, engage, and repeat purchases with your brand
As an Amazon Seller or Vendor, the number of sales you make in a day is critical. However, a key to sales success is also about building brand loyalty. If all you are getting is one-and-done sales, the path to long term growth and profitability is going to be expensive and complex. The lowest acquisition costs are when you have customers that want to keep coming back!
According to a Profitero report on brand loyalty;
Consumers are switching both brands and behaviors by category due to lack of product availability. We found the rate of consumers switching away from their traditionally bought brands (typically large brands) grew by 75% to as high as 127% between January and April.
This has major implications for brands, and changes decades of assumptions about customer lifetime value, and customer acquisition. (see report)

Fostering brand loyalty with Amazon Ads
Great products and services contribute to brand loyalty. However, you can “plus up” those efforts by using Amazon Advertising. How? Amazon offers the “Sponsored Brands” service which can help you deepen your connection with shoppers browsing on Amazon, turning them into your customers, and ensuring they choose you for future transactions.
Sponsored Brands can help you:
- Increase visibility through prominent placements on Amazon: Ads are keyword and product targeted, cost-per-click, and are eligible to appear in highly visible placements on top of and within shopping results and on the product detail page.
- Differentiate your brand: Using customized and rich creatives can help you tell a story that’s unique to Openbridge, Inc.
- Drive traffic: Ads can direct shoppers to an individual product detail page, a custom landing page displaying a selection of your products, or your Store. Stores require no website experience and are completely free to use.
Advertisers who launched Sponsored Brands after Sponsored Products saw a 12.2% average increase in the Return on Advertising Spend (ROAS).
Yoiu can also pair Sponsored Brands with the Amazon Sponsered Display service:
