PPC Campaigns Case Studies
Case Study 1
Revenue Increased by 201% for a Re-launched Brand
EcommerceHike effectively turned around a struggling home improvement brand using a smart, innovative, and practical variation launch strategy.
By focusing on relevant and in-demand product variations, the brand saw an 201% increase in revenue.
Challenges Faced
- Poor Sales Performance: This means their sales figures aren’t meeting expectations. There could be several reasons for this, like low product visibility, weak marketing strategies, or high competition in their market.
- Difficulty in Standing Out: Their products or services might not be well-differentiated from competitors. This can make it hard for customers to notice them and choose them over the competition.
- High Advertising Cost of Sales (ACOS): This means they’re spending a lot of money on advertising campaigns to acquire each customer. If the ACOS is too high, it can eat into their profits significantly.
- Less Profitability: This is likely a result of the other challenges combined. Lower sales, high advertising costs, and facing tough competition can all lead to shrinking profit margins.
Plan of Action
To tackle the challenges faced by the ceiling light brand, Captens implemented a variation launch strategy consisting of the following steps:
- Identifying and Launching Relevant Product Variations: Captens identified four in-demand variations of the ceiling lights and launched them under a single parent ASIN to streamline the product listing and offer more options to potential customers.
- Merging New Variations with Existing Listing: Captens merged the new product variations with the existing, underperforming ceiling light listing to increase the visibility of the new products.
- Aggressive PPC Campaigns for New Variations: To take advantage of the “honeymoon period,” Captens started aggressive PPC campaigns for the new product variations to increase visibility and drive sales.
- Ensuring Compatibility with Amazon’s Merging Policies: To ensure compatibility with Amazon’s merging policies, Captens downloaded and analyzed category flat files to ensure that the new product variations were correctly merged with the existing listing.
The Impact
The variation launch strategy led to several positive outcomes for the brand:
- Increased Revenue: The brand experienced a 163% revenue increase due to improved visibility and customer interest in the newly launched product variations.
- Decreased CPA: The Cost per Acquisition (CPA) decreased by 25% as a result of increased conversions driven by the new product variations.
- Improved Overall Conversion Rates: The brand received the “best seller” badge due to increased traffic to the listing, resulting in improved overall conversion rates.
- Upselling Opportunities: The brand was able to increase upselling opportunities, resulting in higher profits even if one of the variations did not generate significant profits on its own.
- Better Keyword Targeting: The most suitable product variation appeared for specific search queries, leading to better keyword targeting and search result relevance.
