About the project

Having established a strong reputation for handmade and luxury home decor in London and across the UK, the brand had stalling monthly sales via Amazon Seller and Amazon Handmade. Acorn-i were brought on board to help navigate the complexities of selling to consumers via Amazon, deliver strong sales growth and reach new-to-brand audiences.

Retail Readiness

The Acorn-i team of Amazon experts took a deep dive into the selling partner to evaluate current status against key Amazon retail success factors. Retail readiness is a critical hygiene factor to drive organic category ranking, increase consideration and convert shoppers to purchase. We developed a strong understanding of the brand’s values and culture, ensuring these are reflected on Amazon.

Content Development

Properly curated Detail Pages increase organic search results ranking meaning more shoppers will find and browse your products. Consideration to purchase rates also increase by more than 11%. We implemented tried and tested optimisation strategies to all ASINs.

To ensure the brand’s luxury positioning came across on Amazon we developed A+ content and a Brand Store. Enhanced content provides an opportunity for brands to stand out and create unique environments on Amazon. The store has also become a shopping destination and is delivering 10% of channel revenues.

Advertising & Promotions

Driving traffic to Detail Pages and increasing purchases engages the Amazon algorithm and ‘flywheel’. Amazon Advertising combined with Promotions strategy ensures the most effective return on investment and maximises engagement with in-market shoppers.

Our Happy Clients

Having worked with Acorn-i in a previous role, I was impressed with their knowledge and tech and their ability to optimise Amazon sales in beauty. We brought Acorn-i on board in Summer 2021, and we have seen some excellent results. The team are fantastic to work with, and they really understand the complexities and ever-changing landscape of Amazon. They share our passion for growth, and I genuinely feel like they are on the journey with us.

Amazon was a big mysterious beast and an absolute headache before we started working with Acorn-i. They really know their stuff about all aspects of Amazon, from new to brand acquisition strategies to dealing with lost stock issues in the warehouses.

Acorn-i also manage our paid search on Google and Social Media and have had some tremendous results. They’re also just very lovely people and a pleasure to work with.

We now see a clear route to market with this important audience, and can better understand the true potential that online selling will deliver for our fast growing business.

Working with Acorn Intelligence has proven invaluable in delivering strong results via ecommerce platforms. Their deep understanding of how to curate and optimise content and manage paid advertising to convert and drive customer intent has resulted in significant revenue growth for the business.

Davis Chisnall

Marketing Manager, You Garden Ltd

The ignite interface developed by the team at Acorn-i has made significant improvements to how we analyse, report on and allocate resources to amazon and ultimately enable us to sell more. The tool is easy to use, fast and saves us an enormous amount of time it would take us to access this data elsewhere. One of the best products I have seen in this space.

Max Rees

Co-Founder, The Curators

Working with Acorn-i has given us the expertise and support we needed to get going on Amazon, and with a solid sales and marketing strategy. I would highly recommend working with Acorn-i to any company that is currently selling or wanting to sell via Amazon.
