The days after Christmas aren’t downtime, they’re a secret sales window most sellers ignore. In this video, the Q5 strategy is explained step-by-step to help Amazon brands capture late buyers still shopping with gift cards. From timing New Year deal promos to retargeting cart abandoners, this guide shows how to turn post-holiday demand into end-of-year revenue.
Understand how Amazon's “New Year, New You” deal type works, how to set dates to maximize exposure, and why brand cart campaigns are critical right now. You’ll also learn how to adjust ads for lower traffic, when to raise bids or lower budgets, and how AMC’s audience targeting can reach customers who didn’t get your product as a gift.
