The only thing about Amazon and taking over the world are the four big grocery stores – Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Asda and Morrisons.

Amazon primarily sells non-essential items (although they are delving into the market with their purchase of Whole Foods), and do not have any physical stores in the UK, unlike the grocery stores. But this just highlights Amazon’s success, as despite having no physical stores in the UK and mainly selling non-essential items, they are still growing and growing and growing.

In fact, Amazon is growing quicker than many of its rivals; and its market value is thought to have risen by 22.5% in 2017, in comparison to the total online spend rising 8.4%. This suggests that Amazon are almost certainly stealing share from competitors.

Furthermore, it has been reported that Amazon accounted for 33.5% of all UK online spend in 2017, versus 29.6% in 2016.

Given Amazon’s phenomenal performance and the limited growth expected from the high street over the next five years, it is no surprise that retailers are keen to sell via Amazon.

With that being said, this means the competition on Amazon is growing rapidly which can make it tough for smaller sellers and shows just why advertising is important. Advertising on Amazon can play an important part in ensuring you don’t get lost behind competitors. They are great for raising brand awareness and helping to increase sales in a short period of time. There are three types of ads:

Sponsored Ads
Sponsored Brand Ads &
Product Display Ads.
