Introduction

With Product Tags you can effortlessly group and organize products in the Sales & Traffic tab, streamlining the review of reports and performance analysis of distinct product groups. You can define your own three product tags, creating customized keys and values.
For instance, keys could include Category, Product Stage, or Target Total ACOS, while values might encompass options like Kids' Shoes, Newly Launched, or 25%.

Assigning these product tags to each ASIN allows you to categorize and organize your products effectively.

In the Sales & Traffic table, you can then group products based on these tags, facilitating easy comparison and analysis of performance across different product groupings.

Moreover, you can assign these tags in bulk to various ASINs, download the table data, and filter the table based on product tags.

This functionality is invaluable for customers who seek to group products by Amazon brand, Amazon category, and common product attributes such as colour, size, or flavour. By doing so, you can generate reports on performance against the budget set for these diverse product groupings, aiding in strategic decisions regarding enabling, pausing, doubling down, or scaling back ads on specific product groups.

  • You have the option to assign up to 3 product tags to each ASIN.
