Amazon just released a game-changing update for manual sponsored products campaigns that makes international expansion much easier. In this video, I walk through the new beta feature that allows you to create manual campaigns across multiple European marketplaces simultaneously. Previously, this multi-marketplace creation was only available for automatic campaigns, but now you can expand your Amazon advertising reach with manual targeting control across different countries. I show you exactly how to navigate the new campaign manager interface and set up manual sponsored products campaigns in multiple European markets at once. You can now select different products to advertise in each marketplace, which gives you much more flexibility than the previous auto-campaign-only option. The update includes the ability to set different targeting match types like broad match, phrase match, and exact match for each marketplace. I demonstrate how to configure specific bids and targets for individual countries, plus set separate daily budgets for each marketplace. This is particularly useful since some markets like Sweden have lower traffic volumes and require different budget allocation strategies. I also cover an important default setting that Amazon enables automatically - a rule that increases your bids by 50% between December 11th and December 25th during Christmas. I recommend turning this off so you maintain full control over your Amazon ppc campaigns and bid management. This Amazon advertising update is especially valuable for US sellers looking to expand into European markets with better control over their Amazon sponsored products campaigns and Amazon ppc advertising strategy.

Hi guys, welcome to another video. Today I will cover just a small update in Amazon's campaign manager which allows you to create multiple sponsor products manual campaigns. So in the past it was available only for auto campaigns. If you sell, for example, in Europe, you could select to create the same campaign with the same settings in other multiple marketplaces such as if you're creating uh your main campaign in Germany, you could select Spain, Italy, France uh and others to create automatically, which is pretty handy. Now, what's available? So, uh when you navigate to create your sponsor product uh campaign, you select your products, you select your targeting. Is it going to be manual or auto? I selected manual. So this is new. Uh then keyword or product targeting. Let's opt in for keyword. And then because it's it's a new campaign, I'm going to create with a fixed bits. Now this is the interesting part. Now this part is available. It's still in beta. So launch your campaign in additional countries. But this time, as I said, it's for manual campaigns. And what you have the ability here is to select and enable certain countries that you want your campaigns to be uh created. Uh what's good about it is that you can automatically select different products to add in in uh in in other marketplaces because for auto campaigns in the past it was just uh whatever you selected to be an advertised product and different settings in auto campaigns like for targeting match types like close match, lose match and others. Here for manual campaigns you can select different products to be advertised for each um marketplace and for this particular account you can see that uh majority of European marketplaces are available. So this is this is a huge plus for those of you from US who are looking to expand in in the EU. Then additional layer is to target additional bids and additional targets specific targets and bids for each of the marketplace. Again, really huge improvement from Amazon. Um, so typical window to add your broad phrase or exact match campaigns, but please separate them per per campaign. Don't add all of them in one campaign. That's a that's a must. And then lastly, uh, the ability to create the daily budget for each of those marketplaces because, for example, Sweden is quite um it's not that new, but still doesn't have much traffic. you don't want to spend u much money on on on that one. Um, and one last point, be aware of this automatic setting that Amazon keeps enabling by default to help you and most likely help them uh which is automatically uh set rule to increase your bids by 50% during Christmas uh between 11 December and 25th of December. So I like to turn it off simply because I can. But so if I want to increase certain baits for most important uh days, I will do it manually or through our tool. But I don't want Amazon to be messing with that especially because they don't let us lower the bit, only increase the bit. So uh deselect that uh by default. So it's a pretty handy update. Let me know what you think about it and see you tomorrow in the next video. Bye-bye.

Frequently asked questions

What does Amazon's multi-marketplace manual Sponsored Products campaign feature allow sellers to do?

Previously, creating campaigns across multiple European marketplaces simultaneously was only available for automatic Sponsored Products campaigns. The beta update extended this to manual campaigns, letting sellers configure keyword targeting (broad, phrase, or exact match), select different advertised products per marketplace, and set individual daily budgets for each country, all from a single campaign builder session. This is particularly useful for sellers expanding from the US into EU markets or those already selling across multiple European countries.

Why is it important to set separate daily budgets per marketplace when using multi-marketplace campaign creation?

Traffic volumes differ significantly across European marketplaces. A country like Germany typically generates far more shopping traffic than Sweden, so applying the same daily budget to both would either cap Germany's potential prematurely or waste money in Sweden on very limited search volume. Setting individual budgets per country lets you allocate spend proportionally to the traffic opportunity in each market, rather than distributing it equally across unequal audiences.

What is the automatic Christmas bid increase setting in Amazon campaign manager and why should you consider disabling it?

When creating or managing campaigns during the Q4 period, Amazon automatically enables a rule that increases all bids by 50% between December 11th and December 25th. The rule only adjusts bids upward and does not allow Amazon to lower them. This means you lose control over your cost per click during one of the most expensive advertising periods of the year. Disabling the rule and making any seasonal bid adjustments manually, or through a third-party tool, keeps full control of your spend in your hands rather than Amazon's.
