🚨 AMAZON IS GETTING MORE EXPENSIVE FOR BUYERS AND SELLERS
Amazon’s ad costs are skyrocketing—up 48% since 2019. Meanwhile, prices for 3P goods have jumped 6.7% in just one year.
The result? Higher costs for sellers and buyers.
Here's what's going down:
Ad costs: Driving Amazon’s ad revenue to a $56B empire, but growth is slowing.
Sellers: Switching to discounts and coupons to offset ad fees, but those are getting more expensive too.
Prime members: Almost 40% have noticed higher prices on household essentials.
💡 What it means for you: Expect higher prices or a shift in ad budgets to other platforms as Amazon's costs climb.
Stay ahead of the curve—optimize ad spend and watch those prices closely.
