It offers advanced targeting options, real-time bidding, and robust reporting and analytics capabilities to reach and engage with target audiences effectively.

Amazon Attribution: Amazon Attribution provides advertisers with insights into how their Amazon advertising efforts impact shopper behavior and purchase decisions both on and off Amazon. It allows advertisers to measure the impact of their Amazon ads on sales and performance metrics across various touchpoints.
