The Client

Our exciting journey with Crazy Aarons started a year and a half ago. Even before we started working together, their Amazon channel was already in a great place. They had consistent sales and strong margins.

But they weren’t looking to coast. They came to us with a clear goal: to scale further, stay profitable, and bring more structure and control to their growth.

We immediately saw that with the right strategy, there was still untapped potential, and they trusted us to help unlock it.

The Challenge

Scaling profitably on Amazon takes more than good fundamentals. It takes structure, precision, and adaptability. For this brand, the mission wasn’t to fix poor performance but to fine-tune a working system and prepare it for sustainable growth.

That meant moving beyond auto campaigns, gaining tighter control over keyword targeting and budget allocation, and protecting margins as ad costs rose.

At the same time, recurring Buy Box disruptions were creating instability on top-performing ASINs. These were often triggered by third-party contributors who adjusted their prices by just a few cents. That small shift in price often resulted in lost Buy Box control and disrupted campaign performance. With increased visibility came new challenges as well.

Competitors had started mimicking the brand’s creatives and listings, increasing the need for a stronger defense strategy.  Тhe challenge was protecting what worked, clearing out what didn’t, and building a foundation strong enough to scale.

The Solution

Our goal was to run campaigns that aligned with our client’s long-term strategy. Here's how we approached it:  

  • Keyword targeting & segmentation


We completely rebuilt the campaign structure. Instead of broad, auto-based setups, we moved to tightly segmented manual campaigns targeting high-intent category, subcategory, and branded keywords. Every target had its place, and every campaign had a purpose.

 

  • Profitability-first allocation

We stopped chasing volume and started chasing contribution margin. Budgets were shifted toward the keywords and ASINs that actually delivered, both in ROAS and profit. Low-performing segments were paused, and we kept a close eye on margin efficiency at every level.    

  • Brand defense & Buy Box responsiveness

We knew that owning the brand name was essential, so we launched branded defense campaigns to protect search results. At the same time, we stayed hyper-aware of Buy Box changes. Some days, a 2-cent contributor undercut would wipe out visibility. We reacted in real time, pausing ads, shifting budgets, and staying agile.

  

  • Competitor monitoring & response

When we spotted a competitor mimicking the brand’s creative assets and listings, we didn't wait. We launched mass product targeting campaigns to take back space and ensured the original stood out from the copy.
    

  • Smart brand awareness


In the early months, we deliberately went wide. Visibility definitely mattered. It helped build new-to-brand search momentum and organic lift. But once we had that, we shifted and narrowed the focus. Doubled down on high-intent branded queries and conversion-friendly terms with fully layered advertising real estate.
