The challenge

  • Priced 6x the niche average

    The niche sold at $15 and this product at $96. The client kept the price because of its unique material.

  • Low conversion rate

    Weak copy and a high price meant few sessions became orders.

  • Thin listing creatives

    Only 2 or 3 images per product, with no infographics, lifestyle images or EBC.

  • Orders only from branded terms

    Most orders came from declining branded search, with almost no ranking on relevant keywords.

What we did

  • Tailored targeting for premium buyers

    Targeting shoppers willing to pay for the unique value.

  • SEO-friendly listing copy

    Keyword-rich copy for the top-selling ASIN.

  • Eye-catching visuals

    New product images and EBC for the top-selling ASIN.

  • PPC rebuilt for max ROI

    Old campaigns rebuilt around USP-related keywords only.

Services used: Amazon PPC management, listing copywriting and listing images and EBC.

The result

Profit rose 472.17%, from $523.97 to $2,998, and unit session percentage nearly tripled. Ad focus moved from brand defense to targeted keywords.

ACoS rose slightly, on purpose, as spend left low-converting branded campaigns.

The challenge

  • Match types under-used

    Sponsored Products budget was not spread properly across match types.

  • Low organic-to-sponsored ratio

    As a new launch, too few orders came organically.

  • Low-ticket product

    Thin margins in a competitive niche left no room for waste.

  • Keywords stuck mid page 1

    Almost all top keywords sat in the middle of page 1 and needed a push.

What we did

  • Budget across match types

    Budget moved to relevant keywords that already converted.

  • Ranking campaigns

    High-volume keywords pushed to the top ranks to earn organic orders.

  • Budget for new campaigns

    Ads expanded to new types. Sponsored Brand Video gave the lowest CPC and the most orders.

  • New keyword targeting

    Many new keywords were tested in Sponsored Brand Video first, then in Sponsored Products.

Services used: Amazon PPC management, including Sponsored Brand Video.

The result

Revenue grew from £14,529.39 to £26,517.64 in 30 days (+£11,988), and the product stayed profitable.

During testing, ACoS went from 21% to 25% and TACoS from 16% to 18%; on a new launch, TACoS comes down once campaigns are optimized for profit.
