Case Study
eStore Factory helps supplement brand increase pay-per-click sales by 1,800%
Vitasei, a health and wellness company with a mission to offer high-quality products that consumers can trust, creates supplements for those seeking a healthy lifestyle. The brand started advertising on the Amazon store in 2021; however, they needed help to create a robust strategy to increase their reach and wanted to work with an experienced agency to support their needs.
In January 2022, Vitasei began working with eStore Factory, an agency that provides comprehensive digital services with an end-to-end experience for Amazon sellers. Their services include product listings, content optimization, infographics creation, lifestyle image composition, A+ content, Stores design, account management, all with a strategy that uses sponsored ads.
The initial goal was to maximize the profits from sponsored ads campaigns while reducing the advertising cost of sales (ACOS). The primary challenge for eStore Factory in advertising Vitasei’s products was to ensure the brand’s retail readiness and achieve optimal results from ads
Preparing an effective plan
To increase brand awareness and drive sales, the agency took proactive measures by updating product detail pages with informative, keyword-rich copy, as well as adding engaging A+ content and uploading images designed to accelerate conversion. As a result of these efforts, the brand’s products became more recognizable and effective in advertisements.
One of the most successful strategies was to use the best-performing keywords from Sponsored Products automatic campaigns and reuse them for Sponsored Brands ads and Sponsored Brands video campaigns. Positioned within the browsing results, Sponsored Brands video ads were noticeable and helped drive valuable traffic to the detail pages and brand Store.
As the products boasted a healthy number of reviews and pricing, Sponsored Display product targeting and category targeting were used to surface ads on detail pages of similar products. The agency used top-of-search placement in best-performing Sponsored Products campaigns to maximize visibility and broaden reach. Campaigns used dynamic up-and-down bidding options to increase the likelihood of showcasing ads in front of relevant shoppers and also reduce spend on less impactful placements. Another tactic included using bulk reports to manage campaigns, optimize bids, and cut down on wasted spend. Additionally, the search term report and performance benchmark report provided crucial insights into campaign performance.
Exceeding growth benchmarks
By using Sponsored Brands and Sponsored Display and interacting with top-of-the-funnel audiences, Vitasei saw a 1,800% increase in pay-per-click (PPC) sales, with 70% of orders made by new-to-brand customers.1 The sponsored ads campaigns delivered more than 70K impressions and outperformed benchmarks across multiple KPIs.2 The agency’s holistic approach brought about a 423% increase in organic sales.3
