Introducing Amazon Attribution, Finally Brands Can Accurately Track Amazon ROI Across All Marketing Channels

FINALLY! The feature that we as a marketing firm and many brands have wanted for YEARS is here at last. Amazon is rolling out a new marketing attribution platform for brands that sell on Amazon.

To quote Amazon, “For the first time, you can measure the impact of search, social, email, display, and video media channels.” They will provide metrics such as revenue, product page views, conversion rates, and more for third party ads.

Previously brands had to create work-arounds and set up somewhat complicated funnels to ensure they were able to track third party ad performance, and even then there was still quite a bit of guess work as to the actual results.

How do you get access to this? The program is still in Beta, and like most roll outs Amazon does, requires an invite for now. If you are a registered brand you are likely to have already been invited or will receive an invite soon.
