A Beautiful Partnership: Wilma Schumann’s Association with QeRetail

Wilma Schumann Skin Care is a well-known beauty and personal care brand, ‘Embraced by Professionals for Over 35 Years’, with a range of high quality dermo-esthetic skin care products. Despite its strong reputation, the brand faced several challenges in optimizing its product listings and advertising campaigns on Amazon.

They partnered with QeRetail in 2022 to optimize their website's most high-potential product listings on Amazon and target relevant keywords. The primary objective was to improve organic sales, advertising campaigns, and ultimately drive more sales.

Facing the mirror: The Challenges


The Organic Hurdles

Poorly optimized product listings

Many of the product listings lacked proper optimization in their titles, bullet points, and descriptions. In some cases, crucial information was even missing, leading to potential customer confusion or disinterest.

Inadequate keywords

The keywords used in the listings did not match the content of the product. This inconsistency between the keywords and product content could lead to decreased visibility and lower sales conversions for the brand.

Subpar listing images

Some of the listing images failed to meet the Amazon algorithm's image quality standards, resulting in a negative impact on the product's visibility and potential sales. This may have caused customers to lose interest in the product, resulting in a decrease in click-through rates.

Missing backend search terms

The backend search terms or additional information were missing from some listings, resulting in lower discoverability of the products. This meant that potential customers were not finding the products when they searched for relevant keywords.

A+ content lacked a comparison chart

The A+ content for Wilma Schumann's Amazon Marketplace lacked a crucial comparison chart, which is a significant factor for customers while making purchase decisions. This resulted in a lower conversion rate for such products.

The Advertising Hiccups

High ACoS

It was found that the Advertising Cost of Sales (ACoS) was unacceptably high, which was over 80%. This high ACoS led to negative profitability for the client, making it necessary to reduce it significantly to achieve a positive return on investment.

Disorganized campaigns

The client's current Amazon advertising campaigns were disorganized and failing to generate the desired results. The campaigns were not adequately targeted, resulting in irrelevant spending and a low return on investment.

Poorly written campaigns

The manual campaign's name was not optimized, lacking relevant and specific keywords that would make it easier to manage and track the performance of the campaign. This made it difficult to make data-driven decisions and allocate budgets effectively.

Inadequate use of keywords

The client's sales were heavily dependent on branded keywords, while potential sales from non-branded keywords were left untapped. This limited the reach of their products to new audiences and hindered potential growth opportunities.

Small advertising budget

There was a limited budget for advertising, which was insufficient to drive substantial traffic to their listings and achieve significant sales growth. This posed a significant challenge in generating a satisfactory return on investment (ROI).

The Glow Up: Solutions and Implementation Strategy


Organic Makeover

1. Optimized all non-performing listings

Our team created new content for titles, bullet points, and product descriptions.We ensured all the content elements are optimized with relevant keywords and engaging language that better represented the products.

2. Conducted monthly keyword research

To improve the visibility of the products, we conducted monthly keyword research for each product in every category. This helped us identify relevant keywords that customers were using to search for similar products.

3. Optimized listing images

We added a total of 7 images to most listings. We improved the quality and relevance of the product images to meet Amazon's algorithm standards and ensured that customers had a clear understanding of the products they were viewing.

4. Corrected size names of most listings

Many of the product listings had incorrect size names, which made it difficult for customers to purchase the right product. We corrected these size names through Flat files, ensuring that customers could easily purchase the correct product size.

5. Added backend search terms

To make the listings more discoverable, we added backend search terms and additional information to all listings. This helped improve the product's ranking in search results and provided customers with more information about the products.

6. Added comparison charts to all A+ content

To aid customers in making informed purchase decisions, we added comparison charts to all A+ content. This helped customers to better understand the differences between products and choose the one that best fit their needs.

Ad-Venturous

1. Cleaning Up Campaigns

We optimized the client's campaigns by removing or pausing irrelevant and non-performing keywords. We also optimized bids and budgets on both campaign and keyword levels for better performance.

2. Campaign Restructuring

Restructuring the client's campaigns for better monitoring and management was a priority for the team. We utilized search-term reports to find negative and converting keywords and optimized the campaigns accordingly.

3. Additional Opportunities for Sales

The team utilized additional opportunities to generate sales and traffic by creating product and category targeting campaigns, sponsored brand and display ads, and other advertising strategies. We regularly checked keyword rankings and monitored campaign performance for optimal results.

4. Monthly Coupon Creation

These coupons were designed to provide discounts on specific products or categories for a limited time period. The goal was to encourage customers to make purchases during the promotion period, resulting in increased sales for the client. We also monitored the effectiveness of the coupons to adjust them in subsequent months for optimal performance.

Monthly Coupon List

5. Amazon posts through the storefront

By creating engaging and informative content, we were able to showcase Wilma Schumann's products and their benefits to potential customers. This resulted in an increase in brand following and organic sales growth for the client. We monitored the performance of each post and adjusted our strategy accordingly to maximize their impact. Overall, utilizing Amazon Posts proved to be an effective way to reach a wider audience and promote the brand.

Increase in Brand Reach, Product Clicks and Engagement

6. Brand Customer Engagement Email Campaign

The goal was to help client’s product connect with the customers on a personal level, improve brand loyalty and retention, and drive sales. The email campaign was optimized for maximum engagement and click-through rates by using eye-catching graphics, compelling headlines, and clear call-to-actions. Regular A/B testing was done to analyze the campaign's performance and make necessary adjustments.

Engagement Through Email Marketing

Beautifying the Metrics and Reporting

1. Inventory and Shipment Management

We checked inventory every Monday and sent inventory reports to the client. Also, our team monitored every shipment and resolved any issues related to shipment and labels.

2. Daily Account Health Checkup

The team checked account health daily, monitoring for issues such as late shipments and negative reviews, and promptly alerted the client if any such notifications were received. We also addressed late shipment problems through Amazon FBM and submitted POAs to Amazon as needed. Finally, we resolved policy violation issues and reinstated listings that were removed from Amazon.

3. Reporting Management

To ensure the efficient management and tracking of tasks, weekly planning tasks were created, which allowed for the setting of weekly goals and priorities. Additionally, monthly planning sheets were prepared to monitor progress and provide an overview of performance. Performance reports were also generated to provide the client with regular updates on the campaign's progress and to help identify areas that needed improvement.

Radiance of the Future: The Result

The ACoS (Advertising Cost of Sales) was reduced to below 50% within the first month of implementing the new strategy. This continued to maintain while also increasing the number of orders to above 80 every month. This achievement demonstrates the effectiveness of optimizing the campaigns.

There has been a significant increase in the number of units ordered and organic sales from 2022 to 2023. We believe that this growth is a result of the improvements we made in the organic part of the business.

Increase in Organic Sales

In addition to the increase in organic sales, there has also been a significant improvement in the overall web traffic for the client. The total page views and sessions have increased from the previous year 2022 to 2023, demonstrating a positive trend in the brand's online presence and customer engagement.
