Pacvue Releases Report On Amazon’s Q2 Advertising Growth During COVID-19

Leave a comment


Pacvue is an enterprise platform for brands, sellers, and agencies to manage their eCommerce advertising by combining holistic performance data with recommended actions

Our data insights show that despite the peak panic buying tailwind, Q2 saw CPCs return to pre-covid levels in most categories on Amazon, said Melissa Burdick, co-founder and president of Pacvue.


SEATTLE (PRWEB)

Pacvue, an enterprise platform for brands, sellers, and agencies to manage their eCommerce advertising by combining holistic performance data with recommended actions, today released Q2 2020 CPC Report: Amazon Ad Growth Through an Uncertain Market. For the full report, including detailed methodologies and raw data, visit https://www.pacvue.com/q2-2020-cpc-report.

Key findings from the report include:

  • Amazon cost-per-clicks (CPCs) dropped in April and May, mainly due to the pandemic, and Amazon delayed shipment on non-essential categories.

  • Amazon CPCs rebounded in June to near pre-COVID-19 levels.

  • Out-of-stock products, shipping delays, and other complexities caused budget uncertainty.

  • Sponsored Brand return on ad spend (ROAS) overtook Sponsored Product ROAS for the first time.

“We created this report as a guide for brands looking to better understand advertising with Amazon during a very uncertain period,” said Melissa Burdick, co-founder and president of Pacvue. “Our data insights show that despite the peak panic buying tailwind, Q2 saw CPCs return to pre-covid levels in most categories on Amazon. However, due to underspent budget with out of stock issues, winding down brick and mortar advertising, etc., we expect to see a surge in competitiveness in the remainder of the year.”

The data in the report is sourced from Pacvue’s proprietary Amazon keyword tracking database, which tracks ASINs from small, mid-sized, and large advertisers and aggregates data across every major product category. The Q2 2020 CPC Report also includes month-to-month data to better display the effects of COVID-19 on Amazon advertising.

With COVID-19 still affecting US spending habits and the overall economy, Q2 of 2020 saw fluctuations in the costs and strategies for advertising on Amazon. Despite lower CPCs and budget uncertainties, ROAS and advertising budgets increased significantly.

The overall drop in CPCs in Q2 can be clearly seen in April and May compared to the spike caused by early COVID panic-buying. This is likely due to COVID contraction as Amazon focused on essential verticals and consumers limited purchases of luxury items. Additionally, the surge of online shopping traffic, combined with the uncertainty of advertisers’ budget, led to cheaper bids. However, June saw a rebound in CPCs as online shopping remained steady and competitiveness across most categories increased.

Despite budget uncertainties, average daily spending increased for both Sponsored Brand ads and Sponsored Product ads.

In Q2 and continuing into Q3, manufacturer shortages in availability of consumer packaged goods (CPG) have led to increased noise in daily pacing. Thanks to improved ROAS, this uncertainty did not see an overall decrease in ad budgets for most industries and instead saw advertisers getting more strategic with their ad spend. For categories which were dark due to lack of inventory, back half budgets are looking robust. This could lead to CPCs increasing in Q3 and Q4 as companies work with inflated budgets.

Despite Amazon’s push for advertisers to adopt new offerings such as Sponsored Display and enhanced Sponsored Brand, these changes have not shown a significant impact on ad strategies. Advertisers with robust foundations continue to focus on the fundamentals of Sponsored Products and static Sponsored Brands and using these new offerings as enhancements. Products such as Sponsored Brand Video are showing good efficiencies and in general these new enhancements are welcome additions to well rounded advertising campaigns..

A closer look at the data insights:

Click-through rate for Sponsored Product ads and Sponsored Brand ads converge in Q2 2020.

  • Q2 brings the big gap in CTR for Sponsored Product ads and Sponsored Brand ads to a bare minimum. CTR for Sponsored Brand ads fell from 0.58% in Q1 2020 to 0.44% in Q2 2020. For Sponsored Product ads the change was the opposite – CTR rose from 0.35% to 0.41%.

  • CTR for Sponsored Product ads are back at the same level they were a year ago in Q2 2019, and even higher than they were pre-COVID-19 in Q4 2019. Meanwhile, there is a downward trend for CTR for Sponsored Brand ads.

  • The average CTR for Sponsored Brand ads over the last five quarters is, however, still significantly higher than for Sponsored Products. The average CTR for Sponsored Brand ads was 0.53% compared to 0.38% for Sponsored Product ads.

ROAS on Sponsored Brand ads surpassed ROAS on Sponsored Product ads.

  • With a decline in CPC for both Sponsored Product ads and Sponsored Brand ads, there was an increase in ROAS. Sponsored Brand ads have the biggest quarter-over- quarter growth of 22%, while Sponsored Product ads grew 8% in the same period.

  • However, Sponsored Brand ads are the only ones that have positive YoY growth in ROAS in both Q1 2020 (15%) and Q2 2020 (32%). This is also the first time in the last year that ROAS on Sponsored Brand ads surpassed ROAS on Sponsored Product ads.

CPA for Sponsored Brands decreased by almost 25%.

  • Sponsored Product ads still have the most cost-efficient performance, but only marginally compared to other quarters. In Q2 2020, CPA for Sponsored Brand ads was $6.91 and $6.45 for Sponsored Product ads.

  • For Sponsored Brand ads this is a particularly big change in CPA. In Q1 we saw a CPA of $8.17, which means CPA decreased by almost 25%.

Conversion for Sponsored Brand ads is still better than for Sponsored Product ads.

  • The conversion rate for Sponsored Brand ads is higher than for Sponsored Product ads for the second consecutive quarter. The difference between the two increased this quarter despite the fact that both Sponsored Product ads and Sponsored Brand ads decreased QoQ by 11% and 2% respectively.

  • When it comes to yearly growth, the situation is quite different. Compared to the same time last year, conversion rates for Sponsored Brand ads grew 33%, while the conversion rate for Sponsored Product ads decreased by 7%.

Average daily spend is increasing for both Sponsored Brand ads and Sponsored Product ads.

  • Average daily spend has increased both QoQ and YoY for both ad types. On a quarterly basis, both Sponsored Brand ads and Sponsored Product ads grew by 13% and 14% respectively.

  • In terms of a yearly change, daily spend on Sponsored Brand ads has increased dramatically – 78% – compared to 23% for daily spend on Sponsored Product ads.

Leave a comment


News Image

“As a result of the global pandemic, we are seeing increased demand for both cleaning and disinfecting products,” said Ian McCormick, CEO of KIC. “Antony will be focused on supporting our European partners who are looking for ways to preserve equipment performance and user health.”


AUBURN, Maine (PRWEB)

KIC, the leaders in technology cleaning, have appointed Antony Harris as head of European operations.

KIC technology cleaning products are designed to clear dirt, debris, oils, and other contaminants from transactional equipment such as ATMs, gas pumps, kiosks, self-checkouts, cash handling equipment, check scanners, printers and point-of-sale (POS) equipment. More than 50 device manufacturers, such as Diebold, NCR, Epson and Panini have approved cleaning tools and cleaning agents designed specifically for their application.

“I am thrilled to take on the challenge of continuing KIC’s growth in Europe,” said Harris. “Our top priority is partnering with European device manufacturers and working with major service organizations to demonstrate the benefits our products deliver.”

Harris brings over 19 years of experience within the payments industry, having formerly worked for CPI. He has a strong grasp of European and international markets. Harris will reside in Barcelona, Spain, and his background includes several years of business development in Brazil as well as key account management and sales leadership in Europe, focused on increasing operational efficiency, reducing shrinkage and improving hygiene standards for a better customer experience.

“As a result of the global pandemic, we are seeing increased demand for both cleaning and disinfecting products,” said Ian McCormick, CEO of KIC. “Antony will be focused on supporting our European partners who are looking for ways to preserve equipment performance and user health, while avoiding the damage to their devices that harsh chemicals can cause.”

Monitors, displays, touchscreens, keypads, and surrounding plastic and metal housings on most devices cannot be safely cleaned with the chemicals found in many industrial cleaning products. These products are designed for hard, non-porous surfaces and will cause damage to the equipment. Equipment displays will crack and craze over time, keypad legends will become illegible, plastics can discolor and even crack, and rubber seals will become compromised.

“These two cleaning challenges; internal cleaning for performance, and external cleaning to protect customers, staff, and company brand, are driving demand for KIC products globally,” said McCormick.

About KICTeam Inc.

KICTeam specializes in technology cleaning products that improve operational performance, prolong useful life and make it safe to use for both customers and staff. OEM equipment suppliers and their partners count on KIC’s patented products to make preventative maintenance, and corrective action quick and effective.

Yamaha PSR-SX600 Offers Unprecedented Bang for the Buck in an Arranger Workstation Keyboard

Leave a comment


News Image

“The new PSR-SX600 is a welcome addition to our lineup of Arranger Workstation keyboards. Its affordable price point should not fool anyone into doubting its powerful feature set,” said Ben Harrison, Product Marketing Manager, Digital Pianos and Portable Keyboards, Yamaha Corporation of America.


BUENA PARK, Calif. (PRWEB)

Yamaha today announced the PSR-SX600, a 61-key personal performance keyboard that draws on the company’s best arranger workstation technology to offer a new benchmark of performance at a very approachable price. It replaces the PSR-S670 in a family of arranger keyboards whose advanced features derive from the flagship Yamaha Genos digital workstation.

Realistic, diverse, and engaging accompaniment Styles have always formed the core of Yamaha arranger instruments. The PSR-SX600 augments these with powerful new functionality. Via the Smart Chord feature, songwriters with or without keyboard proficiency can utilize the Style engine to sketch out fully orchestrated arrangement ideas. Then, the Unison Styles and Accent Styles bring a new dimension of authenticity to automatic accompaniment, making the sense of playing with a virtual backup band of expert musicians more convincing than ever. Plus, with expansion ROM and compatibility with free Yamaha Voice and Style Expansion packs, the PSR-SX600 presents a nearly limitless galaxy of musical possibilities.

New studio-quality DSP effects let the player add Real Distortion to a guitar Voice, Real Reverb to a piano, and much more, imparting just the right amount of color to the sound. A microphone input allows for singing through the PSR’s effects and EQ, and features a vocal cancel function for karaoke sing-alongs to pre-existing tracks. The player can then commit their idea to posterity via onboard audio recording in studio-quality WAV format, with time-stretching and pitch-shifting for WAV data helping to create the perfect take. Separate part EQ for all Voices in a Style as well as “live” Voices played from the keyboard lets the musician mix like a professional engineer.

The PSR-SX600 is designed to work without a computer and always be ready to record, giving solo performers, songwriters, and hobbyist musicians alike all they need to craft complete and highly polished songs. Nonetheless, USB audio and MIDI connectivity is on hand to facilitate seamless integration with the rest of one’s music technology world.

A new high-quality digital-to-analog converter (DAC) ensures the most pristine, audiophile-quality sound from the PSR-SX600. The stunning angular design and brilliant color screen are a visual clue to the music-making power beneath the surface, and two assignable Live Control knobs allow for real-time adjustment of key aspects of the sound — as one would do on a pro synthesizer. A robust stereo sound system means the PSR-SX600 can be played anywhere, with a stereo line output allowing for connection to external combo amplifiers or P.A. setups.

“The new PSR-SX600 is a welcome addition to our lineup of Arranger Workstation keyboards,” says Ben Harrison, Product Marketing Manager, Digital Pianos and Portable Keyboards, Yamaha Corporation of America. “Its affordable price point should not fool anyone into doubting its powerful feature set. The new Unison and Accent Styles offer flexibility to perform like never before. With a microphone input and DSP effects, a built-in USB audio/MIDI interface, and Smart Chord functionality, this wallet-friendly workstation has everything you need.”

Pricing and Availability

The Yamaha PSR-SX600 is expected to ship to retailers September 14, 2020, at a manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of $1,399.

Siborg Presents LCR-Reader MPA at Nepcon Asia in Shenzhen

Leave a comment


LCR-Reader booth at Nepcon Asia

LCR-Reader booth at Nepcon Asia

Siborg visited Nepcon Asia to show their newest LCR-Reader-MPA device, an all-in-one multimeter with 0.1% basic accuracy, 100 kHz test frequency and wide range of features.


WATERLOO, Ontario (PRWEB)

LCR-Reader-MPA was introduced in 2019 as an affordable, multi-purpose Digital Multimeter. Since then, Siborg has attended events to display the device and provide a hands-on experience for customers. At Nepcon Asia in Shenzhen, Siborg drew attention while presenting the LCR-Reader-MPA; the devices’ ability to quickly and accurately test components showed great enthusiasm. In that case Siborg partnered with a Chinese company based in Shenzhen, AI-ROX Polytronics, representing Siborg in China.

The LCR-Reader-MPA is a lightweight alternative to bench-type LCR/ESR meters. The MPA is able to determine the type of component and the best test parameters before measuring with a 0.1% basic accuracy. The device does most of the work; when in automatic mode, the MPA will do all the guesswork, and display only highly accurate measurement results on the OLED display, including any secondary values. Easy Short/Open calibration of the device significantly simplifies the removal of parasitic tweezer impedance.

Nepcon Asia in Shenzhen showed great interest in the device. Many manufacturers come to the show looking for new and exciting technology; many were enthusiastic about the ability to test unknown components with speed and accuracy. But most were excited about the large range of test options available on the device.

“There was definitely a buzz from the audience,” said Michael Obrecht, Director of Siborg Systems Inc., “people were excited about fast and accurate measurements; no set-up was also mentioned a lot. When we started presenting the device and mentioned that there would be a Bluetooth model in the future, people really got excited. Major manufacturing companies from Shenzhen were there and spoke highly of the ability to remotely record test measurements in real-time. This is a very practical ability for quality control.”

Features on LCR-Reader-MPA:


  • Test frequency 100, 120 Hz, 1, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 75 and 100 kHz

  • 0.1% Basic accuracy

  • Manual and full automatic LCR, ESR, LED/Diode testing

  • Easy Open/Short calibration and offset removal

  • 3.2 Volt LED test voltage

  • Test Signal Reduction to 0.1V for in-circuit measurements

  • Test Signal levels of 0.1, 0.5 and 1 Vrms

  • NIST Traceable Calibration Certificate

  • Large and Super Large Capacitance testing to 640 mF

  • Signal Generator with Sine wave up to 100 kHz

  • Li-Poly battery with micro-USB charging

  • 1 oz. weight

  • Gold-plated test leads


LCR-Reader was introduced in 2014 as a budget alternative to other tweezer-multimeters with a 0.5% basic accuracy and the ability to change only the test mode. In 2017, Siborg released the LCR-Reader-MP as a device between Smart Tweezers meters and LCR-Reader; this model offered a 0.1% basic accuracy and more features, including an oscilloscope mode.

There are now three models of LCR-Reader-MPA: the base MPA model, the MPAL with lower range of test frequencies, and LCR-Reader-MPA BT with Bluetooth. The Bluetooth model can connect to PC and Android and automatically records measurement data remotely in real-time. Users are able to save the measurement results to a file or database. Profiles can also be set to automatically grant a pass/fail depending on the parameters set, if a component does not reach these parameters, it is granted a fail.

Siborg’s devices are available in their online LCR-Reader Store, along with other test equipment and many accessories and parts. Some of the other test equipment available is the Kelvin Probe Connector kit that allows any LCR-Reader, MPA or Smart Tweezers device as a probe station. Siborg offers many of their products on their Amazon sales channels in Europe and North America.

Backlit displays and signage are now used for everything from trade show booths, POP retail displays, event banners, and even interior décor. To achieve a consistent and accurate color on a variety of backlit materials, wide-format, signage and industrial printers need spectrophotometers capable of characterizing both the sample material and the light that shines through it.

“With the i1Pro 3 Plus and the i1iO table, printers have a completely automated solution that includes reflection measurements and now transmission scanning for profiling print production devices,” said Ray Cheydleur, Printing and Imaging Product Portfolio Manager, X-Rite. “Wide-format, signage and industrial printers will see immediate improvements in prepress and production workflows, resulting in more accurate and repeatable color, a reduction of waste, and an increased return on investment.”

The i1Pro 3 Plus spectrophotometer is ideal for calibration and profiling. It comes with the i1Profiler software providing prepress operators with a balance of automation and creative controls to better manage color. The i1Pro 3 Plus features a larger 8mm aperture to support new materials and substrates used in digital printing applications. The i1Pro 3 Plus simultaneously measures M0, M1, and M2 in a single pass while accounting for optical brighteners and supports transmission scanning for backlit displays. It also offers a new polarization filter that reduces specular highlights and shadows on fabrics and ceramics. With the addition of the i1iO chart reader, the i1Pro 3 Plus can be used in automated measurement workflows, resulting in an easier and faster process from manual readings.

“The i1Pro 3 Plus compliments my existing i1iSis 2 XL and i1Pro 3 (standard aperture) devices for projects where the large aperture, polarized, and transmissive measurements have additional benefit. I achieve better measurements and print quality with fabrics, canvases, plastics, and backlit materials with the i1Pro 3 Plus,” said Scott Martin, Founder, Onsight, a leading workflow consultant for print, prepress, design and photography.

Johnstech and Hypersonic to Exhibit at Semicon Taiwan 2020

Leave a comment



TAIPEI (PRWEB)

A global leader in semiconductor test, Johnstech International will exhibit new products at Semicon Taiwan 2020 on September 22-25th with their local distributor Hypersonic. Due to the global pandemic, Johnstech had limited their participation in industry events citing concerns for employee safety. Johnstech Vice President of Global Engineering, Sales and Service Bob Chartrand explains that the company’s participation in Semicon Taiwan hinged on country’s effective handling of the outbreak and show organizers’ commitment to safety.

“For 29 years we have been a dedicated financial sponsor of the semiconductor industry and our number one priority is to protect the health and safety of our employees and customers,” says Chartrand. “This event checks all of those boxes for us and we’re happy to leverage our global network to support our customers across Asia.”

At the event, Johnstech International will unveil the ESTAT-PRO Series, a new line of low electrostatic discharge test contactors at Semicon Taiwan 2020 in Taipei, Taiwan. The ESTAT-PRO is Johnstech’s new ROL technology housing and alignment plate material. Currently offered with the Pad ROL® 200, Pad ROL® 100A, and Leaded ROL® 200, contactors with ESTAT-PRO material are designed for devices that exhibit higher sensitivity to electrostatic discharge (ESD) events.

“While ESD-safe materials are not new to the industry, what is new, is this proprietary material limits the triboelectric charging of the contactor to low levels while having a minimal effect on RF performance,” Bob explains. “This unique combination of material properties provides our customers with the benefits of ESD protection, without the typical AC performance compromise.”

“Johnstech has a reputation for delivering the best-in-class electrical performance for device testing in the marketplace and this new series only proves our commitment to pushing the envelope to enable the next generation in technology,” says Chartrand. “Johnstech customers know that they will receive premium test solutions and services that accurately and consistently replicate device specifications – a “must have” for the ongoing challenges for both automotive and 5G devices.”

Lepide and Sherpa Announce Strategic Partnership to Combine Data Security and Governance Capabilities

Leave a comment


Lepide & Sherpa Software

Lepide & Sherpa Software

Together, we will be able to provide all of the capabilities that enterprises will need to get more visibility over exactly what’s happening with their sensitive data.


AUSTIN, Texas and PITTSBURGH (PRWEB)

Lepide and Sherpa Software are pleased to announce that they have entered into a global strategic partnership, combining Lepide’s disruptive, scalable, enterprise Data Security Platform with Sherpa’s award-winning data governance, classification, remediation and e-discovery platform.

With increasing overlap between data security and governance initiatives, Lepide recognized the need to incorporate powerful and accurate content scanning and e-discovery into their suite of security solutions. Sherpa brings the ability to quickly identify, inventory, and remediate data that may pose a GDPR or CCPA regulatory risk when it is contained in disparate data silos such as email, Windows workstations, file shares and more.

Lepide brings to the partnership the ability to identify who has access to this regulated data and whether user behavior may pose a risk to your compliance standing and to the security of your data in general. Through a combination of threshold and real-time alerting, Lepide can inform users when their permissions are escalating and enable you to reverse them so that you can maintain a Zero Trust policy with your most sensitive data. On top of that, AI-backed anomaly spotting technology establishes a baseline for “normal” user behavior and will sound the alarm when activities deviate from this norm.

Combining Sherpa and Lepide within your infrastructure will enable you to locate and classify your most sensitive data as per compliance regulations, ensure only the right people have access to it and that user activity is in line with compliance and security policies.

“The Sherpa partnership really excites us,” said Aidan Simister, CEO of Lepide. “Lepide and Sherpa ultimately have the same goal; namely, being a valuable partner to enterprises in helping them to manage and secure their sensitive data. Together, we will be able to provide all of the capabilities that enterprises will need to get more visibility over exactly what’s happening with their sensitive data.”

“Both companies have the same mission, to protect sensitive data to reduce risk and meet compliance requirements,” said Kevin Ogrodnik, CEO of Sherpa Software. “With Lepide, now we can also monitor for and remediate risky user behavior that may expose that data.”

If you would like to see how Lepide and Sherpa combine to address data security and governance initiatives, register for our global, two-part webinar series on “A Security Debate Zero Trust or Trust but Verify”. In these webinars, Lepide and Sherpa will show you how you can combine their solutions to meet all your security and compliance requirements.
