What Prime Video ads are
Amazon Prime Video runs ads through its Sponsored TV program. Your spot plays inside shows and movies that subscribers are watching right now, full-screen on their living-room TV. The ads are non-skippable, which means every impression is a full view.
This is very different from a banner ad or a social post that a person scrolls past. When your ad plays, it is the only thing on screen. The attention is real.

Why Prime Video for a small business
Premium screens, local budget
Prime Video reaches tens of millions of households. You can tap into that audience without a national budget. Most local businesses on our platform run about $25/day.
Real attention, not just reach
Non-skippable, full-screen video on a large TV is the highest-attention ad format available. Your whole spot plays every single time.
Amazon audiences built in
You get Amazon's own shopper and interest data for targeting. Layer that on a ZIP-code radius and your ad finds the right local customers.
From our platform data: a four-week campaign earns about 9,100 views and reaches about 5,900 people, at an all-in cost that averages about $42.50 per 1,000 views (the free commercial and management included). These are platform medians; delivery is reported at the Amazon level. See what streaming TV advertising costs for more detail.
How targeting works
Amazon brings two targeting layers that most ad platforms do not have. First, its first-party shopper and interest audiences tell you something real about the viewer: what they browse, what they buy, and what they care about. Second, you draw a ZIP-code radius around any address and only serve your ad inside that area.
On Trusted TV you pick both in a simple setup screen. You can reach customers in a single neighborhood or across multiple cities. We cover all 50 states.
The combination of precise location and Amazon audience data is the reason a local business can compete on the same platform as a national brand without wasting budget on viewers who will never visit.
What it costs
The median daily budget for businesses on our platform is about $25/day. You set your own budget and can change it at any time. There are no minimums, no long-term contracts, and no separate production or agency fees.
The all-in cost averages about $42.50 per 1,000 views. That number includes the free commercial, platform management, and media spend together. There are no hidden fees added on top.
