This means that an advertiser promoting camera lenses cannot target an unrelated category, such as household supplies. This ensures that only relevant ads will be shown when using category targeting.<\/p>\n<p>Category targeting for Product Display Ad campaigns allows advertisers to efficiently target a broad yet relevant audience. Before this update, advertisers could still employ a similar category level targeting strategy but it required manually compiling a list of target products and then selecting each ASIN one at a time.<\/p>\n<p>With the new Amazon Marketing Services update, Product Display Ad campaigns can now quickly implement a basket building marketing strategy by targeting related product categories with only just a few clicks.<\/p>\n<p>Download <a href=\"http:\/\/content26.com\/guide-amazon-marketing-services\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>The Definitive Guide to Amazon Marketing Services<\/strong><\/a> to start optimizing AMS campaigns and get the most out of your ad spend.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Product Display Ads are a great Amazon Marketing Services tool to increase reach, discoverability and sales.
