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.

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.
