Amazon’s advertising business booms in pandemic PUBLISHED BY
Ever since COVID-19 pandemic struck and people are forced to stay at homes, they are opting for online shopping. As such, online shopping conglomerates have earned significant business in 2020. Similar is the case with Amazon. The COVID-19 pandemic situation put Amazon on track for the first quarter of $100 billion and also simultaneously boosted the advertising section of Amazon.
With more merchants filling in Amazon’s vast marketplace, brands are fighting hard to stand out in front of the buyers and are spending bulk on advertisements. This resulted in the boost of Amazon’s “other” business unit, comprising mostly of its advertising businesses. The advertisement section of Amazon is growing rapidly more than the retail sector, cloud computing and Amazon Prime subscription divisions.
