Amazon Industrial & Scientific Case Studies

Real campaigns we ran for industrial & scientific brands on Amazon — what was broken, what we changed and what it moved.

Spending when the shelf runs out, not when the month begins

Spending when the shelf runs out, not when the month begins

An industrial consumables brand ran its advertising at a flat daily budget while its customers reordered in predictable waves. Matching the spend curve to the consumption curve cut wasted clicks by more than half.

Writing one page for two people: the engineer who chooses and the buyer who pays

Conversion 4.6% → 8.9%

Writing one page for two people: the engineer who chooses and the buyer who pays

In industry the person who selects the product and the person who places the order are rarely the same. The brand's listings spoke to one of them and lost the other.

Losing on the search page because the price meant something different
Confidential brandPackaging & Shipping Supplies

Click-through rate +148%

Losing on the search page because the price meant something different

The brand sold cases of 500 and its competitors sold packs of 25. On a search results page that made a fair price look like a wild one, and shoppers never opened the listing to find out otherwise.

The safety manager buys it; the crew decides whether it gets worn
Confidential brandOccupational Safety

Reorder rate 23% → 48%

The safety manager buys it; the crew decides whether it gets worn

Protective equipment that sits in a drawer never gets reordered. We rebuilt the brand's argument around wearability, which is what actually determines how fast a site comes back for more.

Turning away the wrong customer on purpose
Confidential brandJanitorial & Sanitation

Rating 3.6 → 4.0

Turning away the wrong customer on purpose

A commercial cleaning brand was being bought by households who found the products far too strong and said so in writing. We rewrote the listings to discourage them, lost conversion, and gained a business.

Competing with a distributor catalog instead of with other sellers
Confidential brandLab & Scientific

New-to-brand orders +294%

Competing with a distributor catalog instead of with other sellers

The brand's real competition was never the seller on the next search result. It was a quote request, a purchase order and a two-week wait — and nothing on its listings said so.

The second spool is the business: support as a retention lever
Confidential brand3D Printing

Repeat purchase 27% → 58%

The second spool is the business: support as a retention lever

A filament brand was acquiring customers efficiently and losing them on the first failed print. Publishing tested settings for the printers people actually own turned a one-off purchase into a habit.

Selling the two hours of labor, not just the steel
Confidential brandMaterial Handling

Revenue +112% on a pre-assembled option

Selling the two hours of labor, not just the steel

The brand's shelving and carts shipped flat and took a warehouse team most of a morning to build. Adding a pre-assembled option changed which buyer could say yes.

The machine costs $900 more and one broken service costs $4,000
Confidential brandFood Service Equipment

Conversion 2.1% → 4.4%

The machine costs $900 more and one broken service costs $4,000

A commercial kitchen brand's machines looked identical in photographs to light-duty units at half the price. The difference is what happens at 7pm on a Friday, and no listing had ever put a number on it.

Bidding on what a clinic is worth, not on what it orders first
Confidential brandProfessional Medical Supplies

New-to-brand orders +218%

Bidding on what a clinic is worth, not on what it orders first

The brand judged every campaign on the profitability of a single order in a category where the first order is a test and the thirtieth is the business. Repricing the click to a clinic's real value let it outbid everyone.

Forty reviews on eleven thousand orders: the professional buyer problem
Confidential brandAdhesives, Sealants & Tapes

Reviews 41 → 1,180

Forty reviews on eleven thousand orders: the professional buyer problem

Tradespeople do not leave reviews. The brand's listings looked untested beside consumer products with thousands of them, despite selling far more units to far more demanding customers.

When the search term is a code, not a sentence
Confidential brandFasteners

Revenue $132k → $310k

When the search term is a code, not a sentence

Fastener buyers do not search for “stainless bolts”. They search for the designation written on the drawing in front of them, and the brand's listings contained words instead of codes.
