Driving Local Success with Amazon Ads: Insights from Tiger Pistol at Amazon Boost NYC

The Amazon Boost event in New York City showcased the future of local advertising, uniting industry leaders to exchange actionable strategies. Among the sessions was a panel featuring Tiger Pistol’s own Sarah Cucchiara, VP of Business Development. Her insights revealed how businesses can harness evolving digital tools to drive growth in the communities they serve.

 

Why Location Matters: Unlocking Potential with Amazon Ads


Cucchiara emphasized the power of location in crafting successful campaigns. For local businesses – whether independent or part of a national brand – every marketing dollar counts. Precise geographical targeting ensures those dollars reach the right audience, delivering relevance and results. 

“Tiger Pistol’s platform makes this process seamless,” said Cucchiara. “We create campaigns that are geographically targeted around a unique location and make the process incredibly easy for both experienced marketers and non-marketers.” 

Amazon Ads adds an exciting dimension to this strategy. Its unparalleled first-party data and deep consumer insights amplify local targeting efforts. Cucchiara highlighted how this synergy aligns with Tiger Pistol’s core pillars of simplification, enablement, and scale, opening doors for clients to efficiently build their sales funnels and connect with customers like never before.

Looking Ahead to 2025


As digital advertising evolves, Cucchiara anticipates even greater demand for
personalized local advertising. Tiger Pistol is exploring AI-driven solutions to create more relevant messaging for individual markets.


“We will continue to see digital spend grow, and I think we will see small businesses experimenting more in additional channels like Amazon, alternative social platforms, and into CTV as video generation becomes easier,” said Cucchiara. “These emerging channels are becoming increasingly accessible, thanks to advancements in AI content generation tools – specifically making video generation easier..”


Practical Advice for Success


Cucchiara left the audience with actionable strategies for leveraging Amazon Ads and other local advertising tools:

  • Understand your audience: Know where customers are located and the platforms they frequent.
  • Define clear objectives: Use sales and advertising data to measure what drives results.
  • Test and optimize: Experiment with new tools and channels to find what works.
  • Seek support when needed: Partner with experts to develop and sustain a robust marketing strategy.


Final Thoughts


Amazon provides an incredible opportunity to target ideal customers with precision and expand reach with minimal barriers to entry. Cucchiara’s insights reinforce the importance of combining smart strategy with innovative tools to succeed in local advertising.

As 2025 approaches, marketers should embrace personalization and continuously test new channels to stay ahead in the competitive landscape. For marketing resellers, the ability to guide clients through these changes will be key to delivering value and driving growth.
