Objective
The primary objective was to break through the sales plateau and increase the profit margin, all while keeping advertising costs from exceeding the breakeven point. Our supplement brand aimed to not only elevate its market presence but also to ensure that its customers benefitted from its high-quality, unique health products.
Challenge
Despite having a significant assortment of exclusive supplement products, the brand faced a persistent challenge:
- Sales figures were consistently flat, showing no significant growth.
- The product margin was stuck at an average of 15%.
- Advertising costs were inefficient, consistently exceeding the breakeven point without corresponding increases in sales.
Strategic Approach
To address these challenges, the brand implemented a multi-faceted strategy:
- Advertising Optimization: Leveraged the Zero to Hero (ZTH) model to refine advertising campaigns, removing duplications and thereby reducing ACoS and CPA.
- Waste Reduction in Ad Spend: Conducted in-depth analytics to identify and eliminate non-converting keywords, significantly decreasing wasted expenditures.

- Listing Protection and Competitor Targeting: Initiated campaigns to protect brand’s listings from competitors and aggressively marketed against competitor products.
- Engagement through Subscribe & Save: Encouraged long-term customer engagement by promoting subscriptions and offering attractive bundles of top products.
- Market Analysis for Strategic Pricing: Analyzed the niche market comprehensively to make informed decisions on slight price increases, enhancing profitability without losing competitive edge.
- Ongoing Management and Market Adaptation: Maintained continuous oversight of advertising campaigns and market performance, adjusting strategies as needed.

- Total Sales increased by 2.5 times, reaching $1,614,512 (a 42.7% increase).
- Ad Sales and Organic Sales saw significant uplifts of 40.7% and 45.8%, respectively.
