Why Amazon Matters
Measurable Marketing That Moves You // © 2019 - All information in this document is copyright protected and the property of Anvil Media Inc.
Amazon Matters
— 56% of product searches start on Amazon (Kenshoo)
— Shoppers start product research nearly 2X more
often on Amazon than Google (Bloomreach)
— Nearly 9 in 10 consumers check Amazon even if they
find a product they want on another retailer’s site
— Amazon has 300M active users and 2M sellers
— Amazon owns 5%+ of the retail market
— Amazon’s conversion rate is 3x industry (15%)
Measurable Marketing That Moves You // © 2019 - All information in this document is copyright protected and the property of Anvil Media Inc.
Amazon = Google + Facebook
— Amazon did $10 billion of ad revenue in 2018 and
grew 97% YoY in Q4
— While Advertising & Amazon Web Services
accounted for only 15% of Amazon’s Q4 revenue,
they accounted for 33% of revenue growth
— Global ad sales alone, for instance, are over $500
billion, meaning Amazon still has less than 2%
market share
— Amazon is expected to grow its advertising business
from $10B to $50B over the next few years
