"Size," says HSN online marketing manager, Kelly Ground. "Advertising on Amazon gave us access to a large base of potential new customers while also allowing us to remain top of mind to customers who have shopped with us in the past."

HSN sells thousands of products across a wide range of categories-from beauty to home decor to electronics. Finding the next big advertising solution to cover the mix was a priority. They decided to add Amazon Product Ads as part of their comparison shopping engine (CSE) program expansion. Says Ground,"Amazon's customer base is as diverse as our product mix, so we were able to advertise more of our products on a larger scale, and they performed really well."

So where do you begin when you're selling thousands of different products? Find the right mix and make sure you're connecting those products with the right customers."You really need to tailor your product mix," says Ground. "And Amazon's product detail pages provide the extra step to help to pre-qualify buyers."

HSN saw a 50% increase in conversion and a 40% increase in ROAS in their CSE program within one month of launching their Amazon Product Ads campaign. Says Ground,"If you're looking to expand your comparison shopping program and only have $1 to spend, I'd spend it on Product Ads."
