How to Get Started with Lazada Sponsored Solutions
If you're new to Lazada ads, don't worry, you don’t need a huge budget or complicated setup to see results. Here’s how to begin the smart way:
1. Start Small with Sponsored Discovery
This is the easiest and most beginner-friendly tool. It helps your products show up in Lazada search results and recommendations. You only pay when someone clicks, so it's low-risk and great for testing.
2. Combine Campaigns for Better Coverage
Want to reach more shoppers? Use both Sponsored Discovery (for in-app visibility) and Sponsored Affiliate (for off-Lazada promotions) together. This way, you cover both on-platform and off-platform audiences.
3. Set Clear Goals and Budgets
Ask yourself:
-
Do I want more views (brand awareness)?
-
More clicks (traffic)?
-
Or more sales?
And then choose tools that match your goal, and set daily budgets you’re comfortable with. For example:
If you want low risk and only pay for real results, start with: Sponsored Affiliate
-
You only pay after someone buys your product.
-
Lazada partners with thousands of influencers and websites to promote your store.
