SellHarborX Case Study – Boosting Conversions for a Beauty Brand

Case Study Details

Scaling a Beauty Brand with Amazon PPC

Overview

A growing Beauty brand approached us in early 2025. Despite healthy demand, their campaigns weren’t optimized, ACOS was unstable, and sales growth was inconsistent. They wanted to increase total sales while keeping ad spend efficient.

Challenge

Rising ACOS (up to 27% in some months) was reducing profitability.
Click-through rates (CTR) were weak (0.4–0.8%), limiting visibility.
Sales heavily relied on ads, while organic rank lagged.
Spend was increasing month-over-month without proportional sales lift.
