What are active bids – up and down?
Dynamic bids – up and down is a bidding strategy for Sponsored Products campaigns on Amazon.
This strategy adjusts bids in real-time based on the high chance of a click converting to a sale.
If we bid $1.00, how much could I spend?
To secure prime placements at the top of the first page of shopping results, bids are increased up to 100%. This allows your bid to potentially reach a maximum of $2.00, maximising your visibility and chances of capturing customer attention.
