Many brands don’t have the capabilities to execute different promotion and advertising strategies at the SKU level. Nor can they see in real-time if the strategies are working and how to make adjustments. This flexibility for real-time insights and feedback is critical to ecommerce success, especially during a retail blitz. Offering discounts, allocating more spend to advertising, and other strategies on Amazon Prime Day can drive increased impressions and revenue on a macro level. But what works best for each product?
By leveraging the Tradeswell algorithm during Prime Day, our customers were able to execute different strategies at the brand and product level, make key adjustments in real-time, and ultimately met – and often exceeded – their sales goals. This case study looks at the different strategies three brands took to meet their individual goals. *Data is based on two-day sales compared to the week prior.

Flexible Ad Budget

An upstart beauty brand utilized Tradeswell platform data and chose to offer conservative discounts on their products in order to protect their margins, and instead made their ad budget flexible as a way to reach new customers.

They doubled their sales and maintained margins
The Strategy:
Heavily Discounted Pricing
The Solution:
Utilizing Tradeswell's machine learning models, a major pet care brand was able to make creative price reductions on its products as a method to gain premium placement across Amazon.

Big Investments in Advertising
