Episode 66: Matt Wiklund from Ad Advance | Promote Your Own Brand With Your Own Brand

In this episode we talk to Matt Wiklund, co-founder and COO of Ad Advance. We talk about how Ad Advance combats other companies coming in on your product page and leaching potential customers from your products by showing and only promoting the same brands for a specific product in order to increase their own sales. We discuss separating your different ad campaigns to test different strategies and see what works best. We talk about substitute products versus complement products, where substitutes are products that can replace the products people are searching for, and complements being products that can go with the product for which customers are looking. Matt tells about the strategy to show lower priced products first, and then to show similar/related products of a slightly higher price and quality to upsell customers. Listing Defense Strategy 2:38Segmentation 6:10Example 11:10Ads vs targets 15:28Get a hold of Matt or his team 24:24“We have ads, and then we have targets. Our goal is to have ads for our products, or our other products, which show up on their product detail pages. Choosing which ads are going to be displayed on which product detail pages is an important part of this process. So there’s product grouping. That would be choosing products with similar attributes like the substitute model that I spoke about. And then the targets under a substitute model would be equivalent to your ads essentially. So you got 20 pairs of black sunglasses and you target your 20 pairs of black sunglasses. And they’re very similar, so you tend to see a really high conversion with that approach.” 15:32https://www.reddit.com/r/FulfillmentByAmazon/comments/hjenkp/listing_defense_cross_promotion_using_product/https://adadvance.com/Socialhttps://www.instagram.com/smartestseller/https://www.buyboxer.com/Send Scott an Email: [email protected]
