Overview

A UK kitchen and dining brand selling on Amazon was spending more on sponsored ads than those ads were bringing back in sales.

The challenge

The client was losing money on Amazon PPC with a ROAS of 0.93 and an ACOS of 107%, spending £1,432.69 to generate only £1,339.02 in ad-attributed sales.

Solution & strategy

  • A comprehensive PPC audit to find wasted spend and under-performing campaigns.
  • Keyword targeting optimised around search terms that actually converted.
  • Negative keyword campaigns to stop paying for irrelevant searches.
  • Bidding strategy adjustments and improved ad copy.

Results achieved

After three months of optimisation the account became profitable on ad spend: every £1 spent on ads returned £3.42 in attributed sales.
