Creating your PGN: Sponsored Display

Your product will be showing on customer's who have viewed your product but have not purchase them.

The Sponsored Display feature is available only to users subscribed to a Dominator plan. If you have an Analyzer or Masterer plan, you will be prompted to upgrade when clicking the PGN tab.  

What are Sponsored Display ads?

  • Sponsored Display are not Keyword-based campaigns. All campaigns are Target-based only.  Sponsored Display ads target customers with a high buying intention. The ads target customers who have viewed your product for the past 30 days.
  • Sponsored Display allows you to show your ad to consumers who previously viewed your product or similar products, used search terms relevant to your product, or purchased from you.
  • Creating a PGN for Sponsored Display is similar to create a PGN for Sponsored Product. Only one step is different.  except you enter your target ASINs instead of keywords.

Sponsored Display's 2 campaigns

Within our PGN structure, ads creates two campaigns:

  1. PAT Campaign (T) - similar to PGN Sponsored Product campaigns
  2. AUD Campaign (V) -  Audience View Remarketing. These are campaigns that retarget shoppers who have seen the your ads or ads similar to the your ads.
