Days with My Amazon Guy
Onboarded with our Amazon Agency on July 2022

A U.S.-based beauty accessories brand faced rising CPC costs, negative reviews due to inventory mismanagement, and declining profitability on key products. To turn things around, they partnered with our Amazon experts to optimize listings, enhance A+ content, and refine advertising strategies.

By eliminating unprofitable SKUs, improving campaign targeting, and implementing scheduled promotions, the brand saw a 37% increase in sales, an 8% drop in CPC, and steady improvements in profitability.

Challenges

Intense Market Competition

The beauty accessories brand was operating in a highly competitive arena, where heatless curler sets and eye mask products were abundant. This made standing out and capturing market share an extremely difficult task.

Negative Reviews Hurting Sales

Poor inventory management on Amazon led to a surge of negative and inaccurate customer reviews. This created a significant customer experience crisis, damaging the brand’s reputation and eroding customer trust.

High Advertising Costs Cutting Into Profits

The brand’s hero ASIN was plagued by excessively high CPC (Cost Per Click), drastically lowering profit margins. This unsustainable ad spend was a major drain on resources and threatened the brand’s overall profitability.

Our approach

Data-Driven Product Differentiation

We conducted in-depth product analysis and created comparative charts to highlight key advantages, such as:

  • Silk vs. Cotton

Showcased the benefits of silk over cotton for a premium positioning.

  • Adjustable Features

Emphasized flexibility for enhanced customer satisfaction.

  • Light Blocking Capabilities

Highlighted the effectiveness of the eye masks.

  • Non-Absorbent Properties

Educated customers on the long-term benefits of silk materials.

Smart Product Portfolio Management

  • Discontinued Unprofitable Products

Identified that heatless curlers were no longer trending and dominated by low-cost competitors, making them unviable for long-term profitability.

  • Optimized Inventory with Grade & Resell

Enrolled qualifying products in Amazon’s Grade & Resell program to recover potential revenue and minimize losses.

Strategic Content & Advertising Enhancements

  • Premium A+ Content Implementation

Improved organic ranking and enhanced product value through rich visuals and engaging storytelling.

  • Targeted Promotional Strategies

Scheduled promotions across silk eye masks, heatless curlers, and silk bonnets to drive organic traffic.

  • Campaign Optimization for Black Eye Masks

Isolated campaigns to lower CPC and maximize ad efficiency, ensuring sustained profitability.

The impact

Sales Growth Through Strategic Budgeting

  • Black Eye Masks

Achieved a 37% increase in sales, selling 108 units in just one week by fine-tuning advertising and optimizing product positioning.

  • Light Blocking Eye Masks

Improved sales performance by strategically allocating ad spend across the eye mask category, ensuring high-performing products received maximum exposure.

Advertising Cost Reduction & Efficiency Gains

  • TACOS Optimization

Successfully reached MAX ACOS and continue working towards reducing TACOS to 15% next month and ultimately down to 10% in the following months.

  • Lowered CPC by 8%

Implemented cost-effective bidding strategies and refined keyword targeting, reducing overall advertising costs in January 2025 while maintaining strong sales.
