Starting point & goal

A winegrowers' association planned the product launch with a new wine brand on Amazon — without existing search volume, without reviews, in a highly competitive market. The competition dominated with articles that had over 1,000 reviews.

Their own brand was unknown, traffic only came from generic terms such as “white wine,” and there was no established search or brand value. Despite a tight budget, the launch should be successful — with visibility, sales and a basis for long-term brand presence.

The goal:
Every customer who goes to the product detail page
Come on, must be convinced.
Every customer who relies on the
Product detail page is coming
must be convinced.

Memoji Phil, Berater für Amazon Vendor Beratung

“The actual task? To launch a vendor product that no one was looking for — with a budget that actually isn't enough. Our launch strategy was maximum conversion with a minimum budget, closely interlinked with account management and ads. ”

“A new wine, no brand, zero reviews — actually no chance on Amazon.

Nevertheless, we built up visibility in a very short time, convinced the first buyers and reached 1,000 orders in 127 days.

Even more impressive: The growth continues today — with steadily increasing sales, returning buyers and a real footprint in the top 10 in the category.”

conclusion

Through the close integration of advertising, conversion optimization and account management, it was possible to generate 1,000 orders within 127 days — against established competition, without demand, without reviews.

In addition to the campaigns, the conversion optimization of the product pages was particularly decisive — as was close coordination with the customer on product design, packaging and pricing.

The excellent results convinced the customer to expand the breadth and depth of the product line and to further expand the budget for sales and brand presence.
