Amazon PPC Campaign Budget Cannibalization Blind Spot
Description
In this episode of Performance Marketing with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna tackle a subtle but costly blind spot in Amazon PPC: campaign budget cannibalization. When multiple campaigns target the same keywords or products, budget is wasted on internal competition, driving up cost-per-click and lowering ROAS. They break down a real scenario from a seller running five identical campaigns for the same SKU, each with a small daily budget, and how consolidating into one well-structured campaign improved ROAS by 15 percent within two weeks. Lucas explains how Amazon's auction algorithm treats duplicate campaigns as separate bidders, effectively letting the seller bid against themselves. Luna shares a quick fix: use portfolio-level budget caps and negative keyword lists to eliminate overlap. The episode also covers daily budget pacing, the role of dynamic bids, and a practical audit framework for spotting cannibalization. No fluff, just actionable steps for sellers running Sponsored Products campaigns. Tune in to learn how to stop competing with your own ad spend.
