073: Tactic Tuesdays: The NEW Geo-Targeting & Amazon Marketing Cloud Strategies

Brand Fortress HQ: Amazon FBA Success Strategies

Unlock the power of Amazon Marketing Cloud (AMC) and geo-targeting to transform your advertising strategy! Once available only to high-budget DSP advertisers, these sophisticated tools are now accessible to all Amazon sellers, opening new possibilities for targeted marketing that delivers exceptional returns.
Through a fascinating case study of a pool equipment brand, we explore how strategic geo-targeting solves one of the most frustrating challenges for seasonal products. By focusing advertising dollars exclusively on regions with year-round pool usage (like Southern California, Texas, Florida, and Arizona), sellers can maintain profitable advertising during traditional off-seasons while connecting with their highest-value customers. Imagine knowing that your Phoenix customers replace pool equipment annually while Michigan customers might use the same tools for years – that's the kind of insight that transforms how you target your advertising.
AMC's implementation varies across Amazon's advertising ecosystem, with different capabilities for DSP, Sponsored Display, Sponsored Products, and Sponsored Brands. We break down exactly how each platform utilizes geographic data, from true filtering to bid modifiers, and explain how to access these powerful tools even without programming expertise. The conversation expands to cover B2B audience targeting, revealing how these professional customers often deliver significantly higher average order values and better conversion rates than standard consumers.
What makes this strategy particularly powerful is how targeted advertising creates a virtuous cycle between ad performance and organic visibility. By directing your spend toward audiences with higher conversion rates, you effectively "signal" to Amazon's algorithms that your products deserve better organic placement. Whether you're struggling with seasonal fluctuations or simply looking to maximize your advertising ROI, these advanced targeting capabilities represent the future of Amazon advertising – and the time to start implementing them is now.
