Improvement in NTB sales while reducing CAC

In the highly competitive nutritional supplements category on Amazon, Doctor's Best faced a significant strategic challenge: driving meaningful new customer acquisition while maintaining profitable costs per click (CPCs). 

Amidst intense competition for placements, their existing non-branded campaigns struggled to attract sufficient new-to-brand (NTB) volume, impacting efficient growth, a critical need in today's dynamic market landscape.

Doctor's Best required a sophisticated strategy to efficiently reach and convert high-value shoppers unfamiliar with their brand, ensuring marketing investments delivered clear ROI.

CHALLENGES

1

Low NTB customer volume relative to ad spend

2

Inflated CPCs driven by intense category competition

3

Difficulty achieving differentiation in crowded search results

  1. Advanced Audience Segmentation:
    • Precisely identify shoppers who hadn't purchased from Doctor's Best in the past 365 days.
    • Applied minimum price threshold filters, aligning targeting with the brand's ideal customer value profile.
    • Excluded lower-value shopper segments to enhance budget efficiency and focus on profitable acquisition.
  2. Profit-Aware Bid Management:
    • Strategically reduced baseline bids by 50% across tested campaigns to establish a cost-efficient foundation.
    • Applied significant 80% bid increases exclusively for the high-value, well-defined NTB audiences, concentrating investment where it drives the most profitable growth.
    • Prioritized spend towards high-intent searches for top category terms made by these qualified NTB prospects.
  3. Targeted Campaign Optimization:
    • Concentrated efforts on non-branded Sponsored Products and Sponsored Brands campaigns where NTB acquisition was key.
    • Implemented dynamic bid adjustments informed by customer purchase history analysis.
