Branded Shelves or Sponsored Products: what do you choose?

Sponsored Products and Branded Shelves complement each other. Sponsored Products are about sales at product level: you promote individual items on relevant search terms. Branded Shelves are about your brand: multiple products plus your logo, prominently at the top of search results.

Choose Sponsored Products if

  • you mainly want to drive direct sales and return;
  • you have individual products or a narrow assortment;
  • you want to start advertising and build data.

Choose Branded Shelves if

  • you want to work on brand awareness as well as sales;
  • you have a recognizable brand and a broader assortment;
  • you want to claim your position in a category.

In practice, strong brands combine both: Sponsored Products as a sales engine, Branded Shelves and a Brand Page for recognition and trust.
