Background

Our valued client holds a prominent position in the Beauty industry, having been one of the early pioneers in creating cruelty-free and clean beauty products. Their extensive collection of natural skincare products has helped them establish a significant presence in various retail outlets across the country. They have strategically partnered with multiple distributors to sell their products both in physical stores and online retail channels.

PROBLEM

Despite adopting a hybrid sales model encompassing both Vendor Central and Seller Central, our client encountered challenges in securing buy box ownership and optimizing listing contributions throughout their extensive product catalog on Amazon.  The emergence of buy box issues posed impediments to the seamless growth of sales and the preservation of listing reputation, prompting a reassessment of their strategies for enhanced marketplace performance.

Summary

  • Sales soared by 792% in the final two quarters of 2023.
  • Year-over-year quarterly sales surged by 238% (Q4 2022 vs Q4 2023).
  • Buy Box ownership experienced a remarkable increase, rising from 23% to 83%.

STRATEGY

Enroll the Catalog in an Automated Pricing Rule to Win the Buy Box

Under our guidance, the client established pricing bands to determine the minimum and maximum price points for all items in their account. We then integrated these pricing parameters into Seller Central and implemented an automated pricing rule. This rule ensured that the client's items were priced $0.05 below the lowest offer, leading to a significant increase in Buy Box ownership from 23% to an impressive 83%.

It's crucial to note that this pricing strategy was selectively applied, excluding offers sold via Vendor Central where Amazon.com consistently secured buy box ownership.
