Advertising Efficiency Boost: Higher ROAS and Lower ACoS Achieved

Project Overview

Home Harbour was facing major performance challenges in the Amazon USA marketplace. Sales had been steadily declining, advertising campaigns were failing to generate profitable results, and the brand was dealing with a return rate exceeding 40%, which severely impacted margins and customer satisfaction. In addition, Home Harbour was finding it difficult to stand out in an extremely competitive category, where price pressure and aggressive competitors made growth even more challenging.

To overcome these issues, Home Harbour partnered with GrowWithAmazon, seeking a strategic and data-driven approach. The goal was to reverse their sales decline, reduce the unacceptable return rates, and build a scalable, performance-focused growth system. GrowWithAmazon conducted a deep marketplace audit and implemented tailored action plans to improve listings, optimize advertising efficiency, reduce returns through enhanced product communication, and increase overall profitability.

The Execution

Growithamazon carried out a comprehensive audit that revealed several critical issues needing immediate action:

SEO and GAPS

> High-volume search keywords were missing from the content.

> Listings created by multi-brand distributors used generic, low-quality copy that failed to distinguish the brand.

> The brand store served only as a basic product catalog, missing the chance to highlight the brand’s heritage, manufacturing excellence, premium materials, industry recognition, and engaging videos.

> Brand voice and tone were inconsistent across listings.

> Product detail pages lacked informative infographics that could help customers quickly grasp key features.

> Several listings were not retail-ready, featuring limited images, incomplete backend search terms, and short, unoptimized titles.
