Omnichannel ad activation for Prime Day with AMC and NTB targeting

Omnichannel ad activation for Prime Day 2025 requires precise orchestration of audiences, budget, and channels. With Amazon Marketing Cloud (AMC), you can launch hyper-segmented campaigns targeting New-to-Brand (NTB) customers using Lifetime Value (LTV) models. By combining DSP, Sponsored Display, and omnichannel attribution, you achieve maximum relevance, control, and ROI throughout the four key days of the event.

Smart segmentation with AMC and LTV models

AMC unlocks a new level of granularity. By tapping into five years of Amazon retail data, brands can build nuanced audience clusters—think cart abandoners, repeat visitors with high purchase intent, or buyers likely to upgrade.

For Prime Day, this means launching campaigns that not only reach New-to-Brand users but also optimize for Lifetime Value (LTV). With dynamic bid boosting, campaigns become more cost-efficient and focused on growth quality, not just volume. AMC doesn’t just support omnichannel strategy—it anchors it.

Preparing algorithmic pacing and dynamic budgets

Effective Prime Day campaigns start weeks before the event. This is when pacing algorithms must be trained through early data collection and testing. As CPCs stabilize and targeting sharpens, budgets can be allocated more confidently.

During the event, pacing strategy typically follows this logic:

• Day 1: light front-loading to gauge early performance

• Days 2–3: maintain a steady spend for consistency

• Day 4: apply flexible increases where ROI is strongest

In addition, pre-peak bid increases (around 20%) help capture traffic when shopper intent spikes. This real-time budget agility is key to avoiding early exhaustion and maximizing conversion windows.

Full-funnel strategy and effective attribution

Omnichannel advertising spans multiple channels:

• DSP: drives pre-event awareness

• Sponsored Display: retargets non-converters

• Non-brand keywords: aggressively capture new customers

Automation is combined with manual oversight to monitor bids, placements, and performance in real time—covering the entire sales funnel.

Omnichannel ad activation requires staying current with updates and advanced tactics. Epinium’s newsletter delivers weekly insights on AMC, NTB segmentation, algorithmic pacing, DSP strategy, and external attribution. It also features real case studies and templates for efficient campaign execution.

Attribution across and beyond Amazon

For DTC brands, Prime Day is also a chance to diversify acquisition. Promoting special deals on their own sites, launching influencer-led live shopping events, or running “anti–Prime Day” campaigns can capture new segments.

With Amazon Attribution Links, traffic from external sources (emails, social media, paid search) can be fully tracked, providing clarity on ROI and feeding first-party data strategies. This level of attribution is what transforms channel diversity into actionable insight.

How Epinium brings omnichannel strategy to life

Epinium acts as the control hub for this complex operation. It allows brands to import AMC segments—such as NTB audiences or repeat browsers—directly into Amazon Ads formats. Pacing automation adjusts bids and spend in real time, based on live campaign conditions.

DSP and external traffic campaigns are fully integrated with Amazon Attribution, and performance is tracked in a unified dashboard that displays KPIs like CTR, CVR, CAC, and ROAS per segment and channel.

With Epinium, omnichannel ad activation becomes more than a strategy—it becomes a scalable, efficient execution model. And during Prime Day, that execution is often the difference between visibility and true market leadership.
