The Problem

Prime Day had already been tried.

The brand treated Prime Day as a significant opportunity, and previous events had returned flat sales.Both the brand and the agency could see the potential was not being reached.

The Target

20% year over year.

That was the number the team committed to before any work started. It needed tactical execution and a change of approach, not a bigger discount.

The Strategy

Three months, in sequence.

Nothing was left to the week of the event. Each month set up the next.

March

Catalog revitalization

Catalog

The catalog was rebuilt to attract more visitors and convert more of them, because everything downstream inherits whatever the listings already say.

April

Catalog Strategy deployed

Catalog

The Catalog Strategy was applied across the ASINs, transforming how each one presented and competed.

May

PPC strategy launched

Advertising

Our proprietary advertising strategy went live to lift ASIN rankings ahead of the event, so Prime Day traffic arrived at listings that were already ranking.

The ranking work was finished before Prime Day started.That is why the traffic converted.

The Result

It did not stop at Prime Day.

The event lifted the whole quarter, because the catalog and ranking work stayed in place after it.

Prime Day itself

Sales rose 3.5X, from $9.6K in 2021 to more than $34K in 2022. Traffic across the holiday period increased by more than 480%.

The months either side

June monthly sales rose more than 150%, from $71K to $211K. July rose from $92K to $211K.
