Method
Survey layer and conversation layer
01 · The brief
Shopping interests, general interests, behaviours, and sentiment toward Amazon — among people already on X.
Survey layer carries the trailing-12-month behavioural ask. Conversation layer is a 90-day read of Amazon talk on X.
Who they are
Demography, generation, and the over-indexes most media plans miss.
How they shop
Visit, research, marketplace nativity, Black Friday intent.
How they spend
Prime Video, paid apps, AI tools, music — the bundle fit.
What they say
90 days of Amazon conversation: scale, and tone on the biggest posts.
02 · The verdict, in three lines
01
Amazon already owns these audiences’ habits
79.9–89.0% of X users in ES, UK, DE and IT visited Amazon in the last month. France is 73.9% — the lowest penetration, but the highest over-index (+13%). This is a retention-and-frequency audience, not an acquisition one.
02
X users are the paying-subscriber type in every market
AI-tool subscriptions over-index +68% to +144%. Paid apps +38% to +88%. Prime Video over-indexes everywhere (FR +45%, DE +25%, IT +18%). The bundle story — Prime + Video + Music — fits how this audience already spends.
03
The conversation is big, and its tone varies by market
The UK is the largest and warmest lane (228.8M market impressions, 40% positive on top posts). France is the loudest critic (20% / 53% on top posts). One creative system. Five different tonal briefs.
03 · Amazon reach among X users
48M
X users across FR, ES, UK, DE and IT visited Amazon in the past month.
A retention-and-frequency audience — not an acquisition one.
Index vs average internet user. Bar width = share of X users who visited Amazon last month. Largest audience by headcount: UK (15.2M).
GWI, explore-verified. X users in every market are more likely to be Amazon visitors than the average internet user. Combined reach ≈ 48M across the five markets.

Sentiment on the biggest posts skews critical in every market except the UK. Top-post lanes are dominated by price and policy debates — the norm for mega-retailers on social. The buying behaviour says the critics still shop. Tone is a creative brief, not a red flag.
03 · How they spend
AI-tool subscriptions
+68% to +144%
Every market. The heaviest over-index in the set.
Paid apps
+38% to +88%
Already in the habit of paying inside software.
Prime Video
FR +45% · DE +25% · IT +18%
The bundle is not a stretch. It is how they spend.
Music streaming (UK)
43% · +47%
The UK’s transactional digital audience, in one line.
Over-indexes vs the average internet user in each market. Prime Video: France idx 145, Germany +25%, Italy +18%. The bundle story fits how this audience already spends.
04 · UK · The scale market
Largest and warmest lane of the five. A transactional digital audience already inside Amazon — the brief is frequency, not discovery.

Behaviours
Lean into it. The conversation can carry brand heat.
04 · FR · The over-index market
Lowest penetration of the five, highest over-index. French X users are disproportionately Amazon people — and the loudest critics. Tone is the work.

The live-sport bundle angle is strongest here. Prime Video is not adjacent to the shop — it is the shop’s stage.

04 · IT · The highest-reach market
Highest Amazon penetration of any market measured — and the quietest conversation. Seasonal moments are pre-sold. The headroom is the talk, not the habit.

05 · What we would do
01
Frequency and bundle, not awareness
With 74–89% monthly reach already, the X play is basket-frequency and Prime-bundle attach. Prime Video over-indexes in all five markets. In Germany the sports angle (+33%) gives the bundle a live-moment stage.
02
Five markets, five tones
UK warm — lean into it. France contested — answer price and labour critiques with owned narrative before campaigns. ES, IT and DE mixed — product-led content wins. Same system, different scripts.
03
Ride the commerce moments
Italy’s 73% Black-Friday-at-Amazon intent (idx 128) says the seasonal moments are pre-sold on X. Spain’s marketplace-native audience and exclusive-content motivation (+37%) fit Prime-exclusive drops.
06 · Method & sources
Survey layer
GWI
Conversation layer
X internal
Survey-based cuts are named-source and client-citable. Conversation history is retention-limited, so the 12-month lens is carried by the survey layer.
The growth conversation
The audience is already yours.
The brief is frequency.
Basket-frequency and Prime-bundle attach, written five ways. UK warm. France contested. Spain exclusive. Germany live sport. Italy seasonal.
