In the ever-evolving landscape of e-commerce, finding avenues for sustainable growth can be a daunting task. Nostalgia, a leading home appliance brand, faced this challenge as they sought to maximize their advertising efforts. They were performing well through focusing ad spend on the top 10% of their catalog but were struggling to find more opportunities for growth and recent years had made them conservative about raising ad spend or reallocating the budget.
Amazon Consulting Experts offered a seemingly risky strategy by suggesting a redistribution of the budget to more of the catalog risking sales of the top sellers in exchange for an overall gain. Nectar sought to achieve an ACOS below 10.6% while increasing top-line sales on the entire catalog.
To address Nostalgia’s objectives, Nectar utilized various Amazon Ads solutions, leveraged customer insights, and conducted market research. They analyzed Nostalgia’s advertising campaigns and performance data, leveraging data to uncover untapped potential for incremental growth. They segmented Nostalgia’s catalog by brand, category, and seasonality to identify high-converting parent ASINs and profitable products. This approach not only maximized advertising effectiveness but also enabled Nostalgia to capitalize on previously unexplored opportunities.
From their findings, Nectar developed a comprehensive campaign strategy that reallocated ad spend, strategically prioritizing the highest-converting and most profitable ASINs, considering seasonality. They implemented segmented Sponsored Product campaigns structured by product category to efficiently manage budgets and optimize performance. This approach aimed to increase impressions and sales on products that weren’t getting ad spend before and, conversely, reduce overspending on top sellers and products that were cannibalizing organic sales.
Nectar harnessed Sponsored Brand and Sponsored Brand Video campaigns to drive traffic to the updated Brand Store and feature key product categories. They used DSP campaigns to promote top-priority product categories, activate retargeting, and implement conquesting campaigns.
The team at Nectar used insights and measurements via Amazon Ads solutions to optimize and scale the campaign strategy, ensuring Nostalgia’s advertising efforts were fine-tuned for optimal performance. This comprehensive approach, rooted in strategic ad spend and data-driven insights, drove sustainable growth while avoiding the cannibalization of organic sales.
