The Challenge
Duracell aimed to solve product visibility and sales challenges, resulting from:
- a need to balance catalog profitability with advertising impact,
- increasing Amazon Net PPM percentages, and
- a changing ASIN priority list.
The Solution
Pacvue implemented rules-based automations to optimize ad spend, protect profitability, and manage catalog priorities:
- Net PPM% Rules: Adjusted bids or paused ASINs based on profitability thresholds, ensuring sustainable margins.
- Buy Box Rules: Adjusted bids to protect ad spend, ensuring budgets prioritized ASINs with strong Buy Box ownership.
- Inventory Weeks of Cover Rules: Reduced bids for low-inventory ASINs to prevent wasted ad spend.
To provide direct visibility and insight into what percentages Pacvue’s Dynamic Dayparting would increase or decrease bids by, the manufacturer harnessed Pacvue’s Automated Insights to see historical hourly CVR performance data, along with Pacvue’s recommended bid adjustment percentages for every hour of every day of the week.
Results
Pacvue’s real-time automations enabled a strategic catalog shift, helping the brand meet Net PPM% targets, win the Buy Box, reinvest funds into ads, and drive sustained profitability and growth.
