Transition to Single-ASIN Campaigns

Our platform is built to help you efficiently manage and optimize your Amazon PPC campaigns. To deliver the best results—especially when targeting specific goals at the Brand or Product level—it’s essential that each campaign advertises only a single ASIN. This ensures accurate goal alignment and precise performance tracking for individual products.

Many sellers, however, start with campaigns that include multiple ASINs. When different Brand- or Product-level goals are required for products within the same campaign, our system automatically restructures these multi-ASIN campaigns into dedicated single-ASIN campaigns. This enables more effective optimization tailored to each product.


Why Transitioning to Single-ASIN Campaigns is Necessary

Our system automatically transitions multi-ASIN campaigns into single-ASIN campaigns when you set Brand-Level or Product-Level goals for individual ASINs grouped within the same campaign.

Applying specific optimization strategies—such as target ACOS, bid adjustments, status changes, or budget allocations—becomes unclear or ineffective when a campaign contains multiple ASINs with differing Brand or Product-Level objectives.

For example:
If ASIN A is assigned an aggressive growth strategy (with higher bids and increased budget allocation), while ASIN B is guided by a profitability-focused goal (requiring lower bids and tighter budget control), executing these conflicting instructions within a single campaign prevents precise and effective optimization.

Since each ASIN may have unique performance metrics and strategic goals defined at the Brand or Product level, managing these differences properly requires isolating ASINs into their own campaigns. This ensures that every optimization action is accurately applied and aligned with its specific goal.

Note: This automatic transition does not occur for goals set at the Store-Level or Campaign-Level, as those objectives apply uniformly across all ASINs within a campaign. In such cases, traditional multi-ASIN campaigns remain valid.

By transitioning to single-ASIN campaigns when needed, our system ensures your Brand- and Product-Level goals are executed with precision—maximizing performance for each individual product.


How Does the Automatic Transition Work?

When our system detects a multi-ASIN campaign where individual ASINs require conflicting Brand- or Product-Level goals, it automatically restructures the campaign to ensure each ASIN can be optimized independently. Here’s how the transition process works:

1. New Single-ASIN Campaigns Created

For each affected ASIN in the original campaign, the system generates a new, dedicated campaign that includes only that single ASIN.

2. Settings Mirrored

Each new campaign inherits the original campaign’s settings, including targeting structures like keywords and product targets. This ensures that no effective ASIN-target pairings are lost during the transition.

3. Bids Set

Initial bids for keywords and targets in the new campaigns are set based on the average Cost-Per-Click (CPC) observed for that specific ASIN in the original campaign.

4. Bid Strategy

The bid strategy is set to “Down Only” by default, helping to control costs during the transition. This prevents bid increases unless manually adjusted later.

5. Budget Allocation

Each new campaign’s budget is calculated based on the historical ad spend attributed to that ASIN in the original campaign. The total combined budget across the new campaigns will equal the budget of the original campaign.

6. Original ASINs Disabled

To avoid duplicate advertising and maintain a clean campaign structure, the system disables the transitioned ASINs within the original multi-ASIN campaign. The original campaign remains active only if:

  • It includes ASINs unaffected by the goal conflict, or
  • It operates under uniform Store- or Campaign-Level goals.

📌 Example

  • Before:
    You have “Campaign X” containing ASIN 1 and ASIN 2.
    You assign GOAL1 (e.g., profitability focus) to ASIN 1 and GOAL2 (e.g., growth focus) to ASIN 2 via Product-Level settings.
  • After:
    The system automatically splits them into:
    • “Campaign X – ASIN 1”: contains only ASIN 1, optimized for GOAL1
    • “Campaign X – ASIN 2”: contains only ASIN 2, optimized for GOAL2
      ASIN 1 and ASIN 2 are disabled in the original “Campaign X.”

Key Benefits of This Approach

Precision
Ensures that optimizations—such as bids, budgets, and ad status—driven by Brand- or Product-Level goals are applied accurately at the individual ASIN level.

Automation
The restructuring process is fully automated, triggered only when goal conflicts are detected. This eliminates the need for manual campaign reorganization.

Strategic Control
Enables the effective implementation of granular Brand and Product-Level strategies, without interference from overlapping or conflicting goals.

Clear Performance Tracking
Simplifies performance analysis at the campaign, ASIN, and target levels, making it easier to measure progress against specific goals for each product.

This automated transition supports the platform’s hierarchical goal structure—spanning Store, Brand, Campaign, and Product levels—and ensures your campaigns are optimized for maximum effectiveness when detailed control is required.


Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

“Will splitting a campaign into 10+ ASINs make my account too complex to manage?”
No! The system is designed to maintain clarity:

  • ASINs are moved to new single-ASIN campaigns, not duplicated.
  • The ASINs are disabled in the original campaign, preventing overlap or conflicting campaigns for the same product.
  • Each new campaign is typically named clearly, often including the original campaign name and the specific ASIN or target structure, making it easy to identify (e.g., “Campaign X – ASIN123”). Our platform dashboards will continue to provide consolidated views.

“Will my total advertising budget increase? For example, if a campaign with a $50 daily budget is split into 10 AS  INs…”
No! Your total budget remains the same unless you manually change it:

  • The system distributes the original campaign’s budget across the new single-ASIN campaigns based on their recent historical ad spend.
  • For instance, if the original $50/day campaign had ASIN 1 spending ~$30/day and ASIN 2 spending ~$20/day, the new campaigns would be created with approximately $30 and $20 daily budgets, respectively.
  • The total daily budget automatically stays the same ($50 -> $50 in this example). No increase occurs unless you manually adjust the budgets later.

“Will this transition increase my advertising spend?”
No! Spend is carefully controlled:

  • The new campaigns inherit bids based on the actual historical Cost-Per-Click (CPC) from the original campaign, maintaining efficiency.
  • The default “Down Only” bid strategy for new campaigns prevents bids from automatically increasing above your set level, avoiding unexpected spend surges.
  • Budgets are simply redistributed based on past performance, not arbitrarily increased, minimizing the risk of wasteful spending.

“Will I lose my performance history (like Click-Through Rates, Conversion Rates)?”
No! All historical performance data associated with the ASINs is preserved

  • The performance metrics for ASINs are inherently tied to the ASINs themselves, not just the campaign structure. Our system continues to track performance at the ASIN level.
  • Critically, the targeting (keywords, product targets, etc.) is mirrored exactly. Optimization settings and learned data associated with those targets are carried over, ensuring continuity. Performance history associated with specific targets remains relevant.

“How long does the transition take? Will my ads stop running?”
The process is designed to be seamless and near-instantaneous, typically completing within a few minutes.

  • There should be no interruption to your advertising. The new single-ASIN campaigns are activated at the same time the ASINs are disabled in the original campaign, ensuring continuous ad presence.

“Will I need to start manually monitoring all these new campaigns?”
No! The automation capabilities of our platform continue seamlessly:

  • Our system will automatically manage and optimize these new single-ASIN campaigns according to the performance goals you have set (e.g., adjusting bids, managing budgets based on rules or AI).
  • While you can always review performance and set product-level priorities within our platform, the transition doesn’t require you to take on constant manual monitoring tasks for the new structure. The system handles the ongoing optimization based on the applicable goals.
