Do Sponsored Brand Ads Work for Amazon Storefronts?
Historically, Sponsored Brand Ads have not performed well when driving traffic to storefronts.
Well, Experts recommend sending ads to individual listings instead. We don’t yet have enough data to know if the new storefronts perform better.
But you can send external traffic into your brand store from social media. Or you can do influencer marketing and send the traffic to the Amazon storefront. That could be a good idea in some cases.
One cool feature of Amazon storefronts is the ability to add videos. We highly recommend doing the same for your Amazon listings, A+ content, and brand store.
Step-by-Step Guide to Setting Up Your Amazon Storefront
Now, our graphics team is building a store front. Meanwhile, let me give you some pro tips regarding building your storefront.
Step 1: Access the Store Builder Tool
Navigate to the Stores tab in Seller Central, select your brand, and click Create Store or Manage Stores.
Step 2: Choose a Template or Customize Your Layout
Amazon’s new customizable templates allow for more creative freedom.
- Large catalogs → Grid-based layouts work best.
- Niche products → Marquee banners with storytelling elements.
Step 3: Add Pages & Structure Your Amazon Storefront
- Many brands only create a one-page store, but that’s not ideal.
- If you don’t have a brand store, Amazon will redirect your customers to a search results page, which shows competitor products.
- A single-page storefront is better than nothing, but a multi-page store (with key collections, category pages, and seasonal deals) is ideal.
Step 4: Upload High-Quality Visuals & Optimized Content
- Use high-resolution lifestyle shots, optimized for mobile.
- Show the product in use, with eye contact whenever possible.
- Add videos for product demos and brand storytelling.
- SEO tip: Incorporate keywords naturally in headlines and descriptions.
Step 5: Add & Optimize Product Listings
- Feature best-sellers, seasonal, or strategic products at the top.
- Ensure ASIN links are correctly mapped—check for out-of-stock issues or mismatched product images.
Step 6: Test, Preview & Publish
- Click on every asset to ensure proper linking and design.
- Use the new preview tool to check desktop and mobile views.
- Submit for approval (takes 1-3 days).
- You can schedule storefront updates for seasonal promotions like Valentine’s Day, Black Friday, and Prime Day.
Store Insights & Analytics for Better Performance
Pro Tips for a High-Converting Storefront:

Final Thoughts:
Your Amazon Storefront is more than just a product listing page—it’s your brand’s personal space on the world’s largest e-commerce platform. With enhanced customization, SEO optimization, and advanced analytics, Amazon is giving brands more tools than ever to create high-converting storefronts. By leveraging high-quality visuals, strategic product placements, and a well-structured multi-page layout, you can create a seamless shopping experience that keeps customers engaged.
Remember, optimization doesn’t stop after launch. Regular updates, seasonal promotions, and data-driven improvements will ensure your storefront stays relevant and competitive.
