Case study
Lean With Lilly increases new product sales with the help of Adbrew and Seller Presto
The Amazon Ads Partner Awards is a programme that celebrates exceptional campaigns created by advertising partners for their clients. The Challenger Award recognises partners that deliver results within tight resource limitations. After driving sales for Lean With Lilly on a limited budget, Adbrew and Seller Presto are finalists for the 2023 Challenger Award.
Everybody – and every body – deserves to be fit, confident and strong. Health and wellness company Lean With Lilly reaches over 4 million customers around the world, educating and empowering them to live a healthier life no matter their body type or fitness level. In 2021, the exercise and fitness brand expanded to food, offering all-natural alternatives to the artificial supplements saturating the industry.
In 2022, Lean With Lilly launched a new greens supplement on the Amazon store in the UK, but faced competition from established brands with long-standing listings. Advertising cost of sales (ACOS) began to creep up, so Lean With Lilly reached out to Amazon Ads partners Adbrew and Seller Presto for help boosting monthly sales, increasing visibility and optimising ACOS on a tight budget.
Creating a tailored marketing campaign
Adbrew and Seller Presto helped Lean With Lilly create a marketing campaign to accomplish several objectives: increase month-over-month sales for the product, improve share of voice, boost conversion rate and achieve an ACOS of less than 25%. To get the most out of their limited budget, the partners conducted a thorough analysis to identify the appropriate audience to reach and the optimal keywords to use.
Adbrew and Seller Presto created Sponsored Products campaigns using long-tail keywords to reach shoppers already familiar with the brand. They also used branded terms in their keywords to make it easy for these shoppers to find the new product. To attract new customers, they created both broad-based and phrase-focused discovery campaigns.
To optimise ad spend, the partners closely monitored the campaign’s performance and the brand’s digital presence to make timely adjustments to the strategy. Using Amazon Marketing Stream (AMS), they obtained hourly campaign performance information to increase bids during busy hours and decrease bids when traffic slowed. They also implemented a share-of-voice tracking system to shed light on Lean With Lilly’s visibility. And they even employed automation tools using insights from Amazon Ads API to adjust bids, budget more effectively, determine keywords and optimise the campaign.
Improving sales and visibility within budget
Lean With Lilly achieved their campaign goals while remaining comfortably within budget. Between September 2022 and April 2023, ACOS decreased by 85%.1 During this same period, ad-attributed sales soared by 11,105%2 and the product’s conversion rate increased by 124%.3
Visibility also improved for Lean With Lilly. Their share of voice went from less than 1% to over 5% in search results during the campaign.4 The product’s rank also jumped more than 100 places during April 2023.5 These results indicate the value of long-tail hero keywords and other ad optimisations.
Adbrew and Seller Presto’s comprehensive, data-backed ad strategy brought remarkable results in just six months. They have played a vital role in helping us achieve these outstanding results. Their expertise, data-driven approach and relentless optimisation efforts significantly improved our visibility, profitability and market share.
