Introduction
Sponsored Brands Product Collection is another advertising format on Amazon that allows brands to promote multiple products together in a visually appealing way. With Product Collection ads, brands can feature a curated selection of products in a single ad, enhancing visibility and increasing the chances of attracting potential customers. These ads can be customized to highlight various product categories or themes, providing a comprehensive overview of the brand's offerings.
Overall, Sponsored Brands Product Collection ads offer a powerful tool for brands to showcase their product range and drive engagement on Amazon's platform.

Editing your Goal on Amazon
It's best to manage any necessary modifications or adjustments to Perpetua campaigns directly through the Perpetua dashboard to void our engine overriding the edits you made. Please review the full list here.
However, for SBV4 goals Perpetua will respect the following:
Editing Campaigns.
Editing Ad groups.
Editing Ads.
Editing Keywords.
The only exception is the goal name: if you change the campaign name from Amazon, the goal name on Perpetua will remain the same.
🚨 Note 🚨
We advise against directly making changes on the Amazon ad console because Perpetua may take up to 24 hours to synchronize with any modifications made there. However, adjustments made within Perpetua should be reflected immediately or within a few minutes. Thus, making changes on the ad console alongside using Perpetua could potentially lead to confusion.
