...and target keywords for each ASINs. The app creates campaigns and adjust ad bids automatically.

Your are here
Your idea for an Amazon ad management tool falls into a crowded space. Our analysis shows there are 4 similar products. The 'Swamp' category description indicates that the market is littered with mediocre solutions that haven't resonated with users. The lack of comments (low engagement) across similar products suggests people aren't particularly excited about or actively using these types of tools. There's no significant positive 'use' or 'buy' signals from existing solutions either, indicating a general lack of enthusiasm. With multiple similar products already available and a 'Don't build it' recommendation, the data suggests significant headwinds for your Amazon ad management tool. Your challenge will be to offer a truly unique and compelling value proposition to overcome this crowded and unenthusiastic market.
Recommendations
- Thoroughly investigate the shortcomings of existing Amazon ad management tools. Understand why they haven't achieved widespread adoption or generated substantial user engagement. Conduct user interviews and gather feedback to identify pain points and unmet needs. Focus on specific complaints users have about the existing tools.
- If you decide to proceed, niche down and identify a specific segment of Amazon sellers who are underserved by current solutions. For example, target sellers in a particular product category, those with a specific advertising budget, or those with unique keyword targeting needs. Tailor your tool's features and marketing to this specific group.
- Explore the possibility of developing tools or features that can be integrated into existing Amazon advertising platforms or offered as add-ons to established ad management services. This approach allows you to leverage existing user bases and infrastructure, potentially reducing your development and marketing costs.
- Consider expanding your focus to address related problems that Amazon sellers face, such as inventory management, pricing optimization, or customer review analysis. These areas might offer more promising opportunities and less direct competition.
- Before investing significant time and resources, carefully evaluate whether there are other startup ideas or market opportunities that align better with your skills and interests. Prioritize projects with higher potential for success and lower risk of competition.
Questions
- What unique problem does your ad management tool solve that existing solutions don't, and how will you validate that this problem is significant enough for sellers to switch from their current methods?
- Given the low engagement with similar products, what specific strategies will you employ to generate initial user adoption and maintain long-term user retention for your tool?
- How can you leverage Amazon's own advertising API and resources to build a tool that complements their existing offerings and avoids direct competition with their core advertising business?

The x-axis represents the overall feedback each product received. This is calculated from the net use and buy signals that were expressed in the comments.
The maximum is +1, which means all comments (across all similar products) were positive, expressed a willingness to use & buy said product. The minimum is -1 and it means the exact opposite.
The y-axis captures the strength of the signal, i.e. how many people commented and how does this rank against other products in this category.
The maximum is +1, which means these products were the most liked, upvoted and talked about launches recently. The minimum is 0, meaning zero engagement or feedback was received.
The sizes of the product dots are determined by the relevance to your idea, where 10 is the maximum.
Your idea is the big blueish dot, which should lie somewhere in the polygon defined by these products. It can be off-center because we use custom weighting to summarize these metrics.
