Overview

A well-established brand in the beauty and skincare industry, this brand is known for its dedication to natural ingredients and scientifically-proven formulations. With an extensive range of products spanning skincare, hair care, and wellness, the brand is committed to promoting healthy, glowing skin. Owned by a leading Indian FMCG conglomerate, the brand faced challenges in scaling after its recent acquisition. To accelerate its growth and expand its marketplace presence, the parent company partnered with Upriver, leveraging its expertise to unlock new opportunities and drive significant expansion in the competitive beauty space.

Initial Situation & Challenges

A  well-established  brand  in  the  beauty  and  skincare  category,  sought  to scale  its ad-driven  sales  on  Amazon.  Despite  consistent  investments  in advertising,  the brand  faced  challenges  in  campaign  efficiency,  budget allocation, and conversion rates. Their objective was to maximize return on ad  spend  (ROAS),  improve  sales,  and  optimize  campaign  structures  for sustainable growth.

Key Challenges:

1. High ACoS & Unoptimized Budgeting: The existing campaign structures led to inefficiencies in ad spend, resulting in a high Advertising Cost of   Sales (ACoS) and suboptimal conversions.

2. Lack of  Campaign  Structure:  The  brand’s campaigns  lacked  clear   segmentation for branded, generic, and competitor-targeting ads.

3. Low  Top-of-Search  (TOS)  Visibility:  Poor  optimization  for  high-intent   placements meant lower visibility and lower click-through rates.

4. Underutilized  High-Performing  SKUs:  Ads  were  distributed  broadly   without prioritizing the most profitable and best-converting products.
