How long does setup take?

Once we have your details, setup is quick. We agree the timing on the call, and nothing goes live until you have seen it.

Can I run DSP for more than one brand?

Yes. Each advertiser is $500 a month. If you run DSP for many advertisers, ask us about bulk pricing.

Do I need to sell on Amazon?

No. Amazon DSP is open to advertisers who do not sell on Amazon. Most of our clients do, so DSP can work alongside their Sponsored ads and product pages.

What is Amazon Marketing Cloud?

A privacy-safe clean room where you can query your advertising data together with Amazon’s shopping signals. It helps you judge whether DSP drove sales that would not have happened anyway.

Is AMC really included?

Yes. Every advertiser comes with its own AMC instance, at no extra cost.

Who owns the data and audiences?

You do. They stay with your advertiser, in Amazon’s own console, not inside our tools.

Who runs the campaigns?

You do, in the Amazon DSP console, with full control of audiences, creative and budgets. If you would like help, our Amazon advertising team can plan DSP alongside your Sponsored ads. Ask about it on the call.

How is DSP different from Sponsored ads?

Sponsored ads mostly meet shoppers who are already searching, so you bid on keywords. DSP is closer to media buying: you choose groups of shoppers and reach them before they search or after they leave your listing. See our Amazon PPC management .

When should a brand start with DSP?

When Sponsored ads are profitable, product pages convert and stock is dependable. Our guide Is your brand ready for Amazon DSP? walks through the checks.

The math

See what a flat fee is worth.

Managed DSP is often priced as a share of what you spend, so the fee grows with your budget. Move the slider to compare that with one flat fee.

You are

Monthly DSP ad spend$50,000/mo

Percentage fee you would pay10%

Fees vary by provider and tier. Pick the one closest to what you pay now, or what you have been quoted.

Percentage-of-spend fee$5,000/mo10% of $50,000

Elevated Seller access fee$500/moFlat per advertiser, at any spend

The difference$4,500 a month

That is $54,000 a year more of your budget reaching shoppers instead of fees.

Ad spend and Amazon’s own platform and audience fees are billed by Amazon either way, so they are left out here. An example, not a quote.

Why flat-fee access

One price for the access. The rest of the budget is yours.

Five reasons, most important first. No managed service and no tools to lock you in, just access to Amazon DSP and the data that comes with it.

01 / Pricing$500

Flat fee. No cut of your ad spend.

Per advertiser, per month. No volume tiers and no percentage layered on top of Amazon’s own fees. Running DSP for many advertisers? Ask us about bulk pricing.

02 / Margin

Keep the difference.

Brands put more of the budget in front of shoppers. Agencies set their own management fee, a retainer or none at all. Our $500 is a line on your books, not a share of your growth.

03 / Start small

No minimum spend.

Start with a small test and put more behind what works. The fee stays the same either way.

04 / Data

AMC included.

Every advertiser comes with its own Amazon Marketing Cloud instance, at no extra cost.

05 / Commitment

Month to month.

No annual contract. Cancel, and your access ends with that billing month.

Questions

Straight questions. Straight answers.

If yours is not here, ask it on the call.

What does the $500 a month cover?

Access for one advertiser on our Amazon DSP seat, including its own Amazon Marketing Cloud instance. It does not include the cost of running ads, which Amazon bills to you directly.

So I will get two bills?

Yes. Our flat fee comes from us. Your ad spend comes from Amazon at cost, together with Amazon’s own platform and audience fees. We confirm the current Amazon fees with you before setup.

Is there a minimum spend?

No. The fee is the same whatever you spend, so you can start with a small test and grow from there.

Is there a contract?

No annual contract. Access runs month to month, and if you cancel, it ends with that billing month.
