Listen in to find out what he has to share with us today about Amazon's New-to-Brand Metrics.
“It’s a new metric that we’ve never seen before on Amazon, that allows advertisers to measure orders and sales of products, generated from first-time customers of your brand on Amazon.”

New-to-Brand Metrics allow advertisers to measure orders and sales of products, generated from first-time customers of a brand on Amazon.
Will and Kiri offer some of the ways in which this new data-set is really helpful for brands.

Will thinks that New-to-Brand Metrics are the first step in the direction of transparency and he predicts that it will be rolled out to sponsored ads, into Seller Central, and onto AMS. This will help some advertisers to see a more end-to-end view of each channel than before.
Will thinks a separation between the Amazon customer versus their website customer will start to become apparent.
Why Will chooses to buy from Amazon rather than using Google.
We're in the midst of seeing a shift between how a website is used and how it's used effectively, versus using some of these third-party platforms, like on Amazon.
It will be interesting to see how shopping habits change over the next few years.
Why it's time to buy in on Amazon right now.
