Oceanfoam Full Service Case Study

145% sales growth

Yearly revenue more than doubled in 2025 compared to the previous year.

Oceanfoam, a family-founded maker of eco-conscious foam rollers and recovery gear launched in 2023, had built a promising presence in Amazon’s crowded Foam Rollers category but faced mounting margin pressure from stacked costs like patent licensing, sustainable sourcing, and rising ad spend.

As an Amazon agency for sustainable fitness brands, we stepped in to rein in advertising waste, defend profit margins, and protect the brand’s rankings, which is exactly the kind of category-specific challenge our team was built to solve.

The Challenges

Unsustainable Advertising Costs
High ad spend ruined Amazon profit margins for sustainable workout gear resulting in severe revenue losses.

Inconsistent Inventory Levels
Top sellers stocked out while slow movers sat in warehouses leading to expensive aged inventory fees.

Unexpected Listing Takedowns
Automated pesticide flags suppressed key product listings causing unexpected downtime and lost sales.

Poor Listing Conversion
Main images failed to communicate product density leading to confused buyers and high return rates.

Stalled Review Generation
Products struggled to get reviews through the Vine program making it hard to win category visibility.

Unpredictable Market Costs
Changing tariffs threatened production costs making an Amazon agency for sustainable fitness brands vital.

Messy Catalog Structure
System glitches merged unrelated product variations together causing highly disorganized inventory tracking.

Our Approach

2024: Foundational Work and Account Stabilization
Throughout 2024, we focused on building a stable, profitable foundation for a growing eco-friendly product line. Our early work centered on organizing a messy catalog, tightening ad structure, and setting up the systems needed to protect margins as the brand scaled.

Catalog and Compliance Cleanup

  • Audited the full catalog to untangle merged variations and correct disorganized inventory tracking
  • Resolved automated pesticide flags that had suppressed key listings and interrupted sales
  • Rebuilt parent-child relationships to create a clean, scalable catalog structure

PPC Foundation

  • Restructured campaigns to separate profitable products from money-losing ones
  • Established TACOS targets to bring runaway ad spend back under control
  • Reallocated budget toward the products that actually protected profitability

2025: SEO Recovery and Ranking Defense
In the first half of 2025, we worked to recover lost visibility in a crowded category while holding ad efficiency steady. This phase paired organic ranking work with disciplined advertising to grow traffic without inflating costs.

Search Optimization

  • Executed our 5-phase SEO strategy across parent listings to rebuild category rankings
  • Optimized alt text and A+ content to strengthen indexing and relevance
  • Tracked keyword rank and market share to guide ongoing listing priorities

Conversion Improvement

  • Launched A/B title tests to sharpen messaging and clarify product density
  • Refined main images and copy to reduce buyer confusion and returns
  • Enrolled eligible products in review programs to build category credibility

Margin Protection

  • Capped ad spend and lowered bids to hold TACOS in a healthy range
  • Paused underperforming campaigns to stop revenue leaks
  • Concentrated budget on proven, profitable ASINs

Inventory and Catalog Management

  • Built virtual bundles to lift order value and move aged inventory.
  • Monitored stock levels to reduce costly aged-inventory fees and stockouts.
  • Kept the catalog clean as new colors and variations were introduced.

2026 Q1–Q2: Lean Scaling and Reset
Entering 2026, we restructured the account for lean, sustainable growth under tighter market conditions. Our Amazon PPC strategy for fitness brands focused on resetting campaigns around efficiency, so the brand could scale profitably without overspending.

Efficient Advertising

  • Reset campaigns around low-ACOS targets to rebuild spend responsibly.
  • Prioritized profitable products while pausing items that could not support ads.
  • Adjusted bids and budgets to evaluate performance without overspending.

Strategic Positioning

  • Shifted to a leaner service structure aligned with the brand’s margin goals.
  • Prepared listings and assets ahead of key selling events like Prime Day.
  • Planned new launches around profitable, on-brand product lines.

2025 Q1: Retention & Strategic Scaling
In early 2024, we built a strong operational foundation to support growth. This included setting up a solid SEO baseline, executing comprehensive listing optimization for exercise equipment, fixing compliance issues, and preparing the catalog for scalable traffic with optimized assets.

Audience Retention and Lifecycle Marketing

  • Implemented Brand Tailored Promotions targeting cart abandoners and high-potential new customers to capture residual demand post-holidays
  • Transitioned visual assets from holiday themes to “New Year, New You” and Spring messaging to maintain relevance with seasonal shoppers

Market Expansion Planning

  • Conducted deep-dive competitor research and keyword analysis to prepare for the launch of adjacent product categories
  • Developed a comprehensive roadmap for 2025 focused on phased listing optimizations and strategic budget allocation for new launches
  • Refined advertising strategies to focus on profitability (TACOS) while maintaining organic ranking gains achieved during the peak season

Challenges

Launching a new brand on Amazon comes with its unique set of challenges. For this high-quality, high-price-point product, the hurdles were particularly significant:

High Quality and High Price Point
Compared to competitors, the product’s superior quality also meant a higher price point, making it crucial to communicate the value proposition effectively to potential customers.

Established Competitors
The category was dominated by large, well-known brands with significant market recognition. Breaking through this brand loyalty was a significant challenge.

Simultaneous Product Launch
The brand introduced 20 variations of the product at once. Managing such a wide array of products simultaneously required meticulous planning and execution to ensure consistency and quality across all listings.

Our approach

To tackle these challenges, a multi-faceted approach was adopted:

Vine Reviews
Leveraging Amazon Vine reviews for every single variation helped amass a significant number of reviews quickly. This strategy was critical in building trust and credibility with potential buyers, as reviews are a key factor in purchasing decisions on Amazon.

Sustainable Brand Identity
The brand capitalized on its unique selling proposition of being made from recycled materials and donating proceeds to environmental causes. This strong brand identity resonated with environmentally conscious buyers, differentiating the product from competitors.

Targeted Marketing
Marketing efforts were focused on environmentally conscious buyers, highlighting the product’s eco-friendly attributes. This targeted approach helped attract a niche audience that valued sustainability.

Custom Images
Each product variation had custom images tailored to its design. High-quality, visually appealing images showcased the product’s unique features and design variations, enhancing the overall customer experience and driving conversions.

The impact

The comprehensive and strategic approach led to impressive results within the first three months of the brand launch:

Accumulated Reviews
The brand garnered over 100 reviews across its product variations, significantly boosting credibility and customer trust.

Top Rankings
The products achieved a top 50 ranking in the subcategory of Foam Rollers, indicating strong market penetration and visibility.

High Star Ratings
The products maintained an average rating of 4.8 stars, reflecting high customer satisfaction and product quality.

Revenue Growth
The brand achieved remarkable sales growth, generating $30,000 in sales within the first 90 days of launch.
