Questions
What does Amazon PPC cost in Beauty & Personal Care?
Typical Beauty & Personal Care CPCs on Amazon US run $1.20–$2.40 depending on keyword type — head terms at the top of that range, long-tails well below it. A workable ACOS band for the category is usually 22–32%, though your margins and repeat-purchase economics set the real target.
What ACOS should a Beauty & Personal Care seller aim for?
Most healthy Beauty & Personal Care accounts we see land in the 22–32% range on blended ACOS. The better question is TACOS by ASIN — total ad spend against total revenue — which shows whether ads are building organic rank or just renting sales.
How is ATIL priced for this category?
