Breaking the Budget Barrier - How Strategic Ad Spend Unlocks Hidden Growth

Client Overview

Our client operates in the healthcare category, a sector that accounted for more than 10.4% of the Amazon market in 2024. The company offers science-backed wellness products designed to provide effective health solutions. Focused on high-quality, natural formulations, they prioritize accessibility and efficacy, making their products a trusted choice for consumers seeking proactive health support.

PROBLEM

Increase advertising investment

One of the most common challenges brands face is the hesitation to increase advertising investment, even when performance data indicates strong growth potential. Concerns about profitability, cost efficiency, and scalability often lead brands to maintain fixed budgets rather than explore opportunities for expansion.

Additionally, in one of the marketplaces, we faced stock limitations and Buy Box inconsistencies, which restricted our ability to fully utilize the allocated budget. Rather than leaving this as a constraint, we leveraged this challenge as an opportunity—shifting focus and reallocating spend to the other marketplace, where we could push for higher sales growth.

Our objective was to maximize performance while maintaining the client's fixed monthly budget. This case study demonstrates how a strategic budget reallocation approach led to significant sales growth and efficiency improvements without negatively impacting profitability.

Summary

  • 33.1% Increase in Ad Spend – Without exceeding the fixed budget, we reallocated investments to the highest-performing areas.
  • 29.6% Increase in Orders – Higher purchase intent
  • 37% Increase in Total Account Sales – Achieved despite February being a shorter month (28 days vs. 31 days in January).

Strategy & Execution

Reallocating a portion of the budget

The client operates in two major marketplaces: the U.S. and Canada. Due to Buy Box and stock limitations in one region, we adjusted the advertising strategy by reallocating a portion of the budget to top-performing products in the other marketplace.

Steps Taken:

✅ Reallocating budget to optimize market performance

  • Shifted ad spend to the marketplace with stronger performance

✅ Enhancing keyword targeting

  • Integrated new search terms from Amazon data to refine targeting
  • Increased bids on high-volume, high-intent keywords

✅ Expanding consideration and awareness campaigns

  • Launched DSP remarketing spend to drive conversions from previously engaged audiences.
