Mike and Stephen open our “vault” of Prime Day data (CTR, Budgets, ACOS, etc.) from last year, and break down all of the metrics that Amazon advertisers should pay attention to on Prime Day. They also talk bidding strategy, bid automation, and give some expert advice on Prime Day strategies. See you in the Badger Den!
