Replicate Amazon DSP to Snowflake in minute

Amazon DSP (Demand-Side Platform), displays your product ads on Amazon products like Fire T.V, Kindle, and Amazon Prime (OTT Platform). The platform provides maximum exposure to your product. Amazon DSP generates a wide range of data that includes: Advertising Campaigns, costs, creative placements, and advertising inventory. This platform help sellers analyze and focus on the best marketing strategy. Amazon DSP helps to discover from which creative ad placement, you are getting maximum customer traffic on your product page. Also, how many old customers returned to buy after watching Amazon DSP ads? Data helps to find and analyze such information. However, first, you must consolidate data into a scalable data warehouse like Snowflake. Such a data warehouse offers high-speed SQL queries using Google’s infrastructure’s processing power. Replicating your Amazon DSP data to Snowflake  can help you summarize data to improve analysis and, in turn, increase productivity and performance.

This article will take you through the overview of Amazon DSP and Snowflake. It will explain the reasons you should consider while integrating Amazon DSP and Snowflake. Finally, there are two approaches to replicate your data so you can decide which suits your business the best.

 

Why integrate Amazon DSP to Snowflake?

Let’s take a simple case to understand why data integration to Snowflake is essential. First, as you know that you can calculate your business profits by this formula:

Profits/Losses = Sales – Expenses.

For the profit/loss calculation, you can retrieve the sales data from the seller-central reports. And retrieve the advertising expense data from the Amazon DSP’s dashboard. In this article, we will focus on the advertisement expense data. Even though there are other expense data like shipping, packaging, warehousing, and not to mention commissions. Hence, the final equation would look like this:

Profits/Losses = (sales data from seller central – advertising expenses incurred in Amazon DSP Ads).

The sales and advertising expenditure data have to be put on the excel sheet or any equivalent software. This will help to perform the calculation for further analysis. And there are high chances of getting errors in final profit/loss results if your managers manually perform the task. Secondly, there will be no real-time results as the data retrieval, processing, and calculation needs time. It will be a cumbersome task to daily calculate the profit/loss figures. Especially, if you are advertising your product on other e-commerce sites or social media platforms. Hence, Daton, an ETL tool, will help pull all your data to a data warehouse like Snowflake. This data warehouse will consolidate your sales, advertising, customer behavior, and business operation data for deeper analysis. And, also help to optimize your business performance.

It lets you upload a large proportion of datasets into Snowflake machine learning so you can understand your data better. Snowflake is a highly trusted source to process your data. This data warehouse enables you to securely and inexpensively process all the relevant data. And, also transform it into actionable insights for your enterprise.

 

How to replicate Amazon DSP to Snowflake?

Here are two approaches you can use to replicate Amazon DSP data to Snowflake. These approaches will not only allow you to evaluate the pros and cons of both but also, help choose the one that best suits your requirement.

Build your own data pipeline

This process needs a lot of experience and consumes time and manpower. Hence, the chances of getting errors are more due to multiple integrated steps to be executed one after the other. Therefore, you need to extract data using Amazon DSP APIs & then connect it properly with the Snowflake data warehouse. In conclusion, this whole process to build a custom data pipeline requires a regular intervention which makes it cumbersome.
