Groupe SEB is not a traditional company. While they are still a family-run business, they operate in over 150 countries and focus on identifying new trends as a way of staying ahead of the curve. This strategy extends to selling on Amazon as well.
In order to help increase their sales on Amazon Germany, Groupe SEB started
using sponsored ads in 2016 for their brands like Tefal, Krups, and Rowenta.
“We saw this as a way to quickly boost products with low organic visibility but
also to leverage the existing portfolio and increase sales across the whole portfolio,” said Yashar Nategh, E-commerce D-A-CH at Groupe SEB.
Groupe SEB decided to use an agency, Metoda, to help manage its campaigns.
Metoda has an e-commerce background and developed an approach focused on an optimal bidding strategy that used all three ad products (Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands, and Product Display Ads*) combined with focused keyword targeting to help Groupe SEB reach its goals.
As Stefan Bures, CEO of Metoda, said, “Amazon has millions of items on its website; therefore discoverability is key for a brand. We are constantly evaluating their advertising products and utilise sponsored ads to help drive sales when our data indicates there is additional potential.”
