Hey there!

Running Amazon DSP campaigns without strong creative is like shouting in a crowded room… and hoping someone hears you.

The targeting can be powerful.

But your copy is what gets the click, drives the message, and delivers the sale.

And here’s the thing: Most DSP ads fail because the messaging is generic.

Whether you’re targeting new-to-brand customers or remarketing to cart abandoners, you need specific, strategic copy. 

Not just ā€œShop nowā€ and hope for the best.

That’s where ChatGPT comes in.

With the right prompts, you can generate scroll-stopping DSP copy in minutes, across every stage of the funnel.

Let’s break it down step by step. šŸ‘‡

Step 1: Match Your Copy to the Funnel Stage

Why this matters: Amazon DSP gives you powerful audience segmentation:

  • Awareness (cold)

  • Consideration (warm)

  • Retargeting (hot)

But each stage needs a different message.

Example:

šŸ‘‰ Awareness = curiosity + lifestyle

šŸ‘‰ Consideration = benefits + brand values

šŸ‘‰ Retargeting = urgency + reassurance

Prompt Example:

ā€œYou’re an Amazon ad copywriter. Write 3 variations of Amazon DSP display ad copy for a collapsible water bottle:

  • 1 for a cold audience (awareness),

  • 1 for a warm audience (retargeting viewers),

  • 1 for a hot audience (cart abandoners). Keep each line under 90 characters.ā€

āœ… You’ll get copy tailored to whom the shopper is — not just what you sell.

Step 2: Add Brand Voice and Product Personality

Why this matters: Display ads compete visually. Your message needs to sound like you, not a template.

Whether your tone is bold, minimalist, premium, playful, or eco-conscious, your copy should reflect it.

Prompt Example:

ā€œRewrite these DSP ads in a tone that’s [insert tone: e.g., calm and minimalist]. Make it feel aligned with a brand targeting [audience: e.g., eco-conscious hikers].ā€

āœ… This keeps your messaging consistent across DSP, Sponsored Brands, and your storefront.

Step 3: Generate Multiple Variations to Test

Why this matters: The best-performing ad is rarely your first idea. 

Testing is everything. And ChatGPT makes it easy to produce 10x more copy variations without 10x the effort.

Prompt Example:

ā€œWrite 5 DSP display ad variations for this product. Focus each one on a different angle:

  • Portability

  • Eco-friendliness

  • Giftability

  • Design

  • Travel convenience.

Keep the tone consistent with our brand.ā€

āœ… You now have a ready-to-test batch of creatives for A/B testing or full-funnel sequencing.

Step 4: Include a Clear, Actionable CTA

Why this matters: Even the best display ad fails without a CTA that feels natural, clear, and enticing.

Avoid:

āŒ ā€œBuy nowā€

āŒ ā€œClick hereā€

āœ… Instead, tailor CTAs to the funnel stage.

Prompt Example:

ā€œGenerate 5 CTA lines that feel natural and non-pushy. Write 2 for awareness, 2 for consideration, and 1 for retargeting. Include language like ā€˜discover,’ ā€˜learn,’ or ā€˜finally find your...’"

Example output:

ā€œDiscover your new everyday bottleā€

ā€œSustainable hydration starts hereā€

ā€œStill thinking about it? We saved you one.ā€

Step 5: Adapt for Different Ad Placements & Formats

Why this matters: DSP ads come in many shapes and sizes: 

From desktop banners to mobile interstitials. Each one has a different character limit and visual layout.

Prompt Example:

ā€œTake this copy and adapt it into:

  • A 300x250 banner (short + punchy)

  • A 728x90 desktop display (horizontal-friendly)

  • A mobile vertical format (more emotional + visual language)

Each version should fit the format and grab attention fast.ā€

Final Thoughts

DSP campaigns give you advanced targeting power, but targeting alone doesn’t sell.

The message matters.

The emotion, the tone, the angle — that’s what gets clicks.

ChatGPT helps you:

šŸ‘‰ Write faster

šŸ‘‰ Test smarter

šŸ‘‰ Speak to different audiences

šŸ‘‰ And finally build display ads that actually convert

Whether you’re building top-of-funnel reach or closing the deal with retargeting — let your copy do the heavy lifting.

Now is your turn: What’s the hardest part for you when it comes to writing DSP ads — finding the right hook, matching the tone, or adapting to different audiences?
