CLIENT BACKGROUND
Who Is This Client?
Our client is a well-established Sports & Outdoors brand generating over $1M annually through their own DTC website. Despite strong product demand, loyal customers, and premium positioning — Amazon remained an untapped opportunity.
Like many growing brands, they hesitated to launch on Amazon due to concerns about brand control, pricing erosion, and the complexity of Amazon PPC. They needed a strategic partner who understood both Amazon advertising and brand integrity.
When they partnered with CaptenAMZ, they had zero Amazon presence. Within 90 days, we built a fully optimized Amazon channel that now generates consistent, profitable revenue — without cannibalizing their DTC business.

THE CHALLENGE
What Problems Were We Solving?
Launching a DTC brand on Amazon came with serious hurdles that required expert navigation.
01
Zero Amazon Presence
The brand had no listings, no reviews, no search ranking, and no visibility on Amazon. Starting from scratch in a competitive category required a precise launch strategy.
02
Brand Control & Pricing
Without proper brand registry and pricing controls in place, the risk of third-party sellers hijacking listings and eroding margins was significant from day one.
03
Unpredictable PPC Costs
With no historical Amazon data, the client feared wasting ad budget on untested keywords. They needed a data-driven PPC structure that could scale profitably from launch.
OUR STRATEGY
How CaptenAMZ Built the Launch Strategy
We applied our proven Beyond Average™ Framework — combining catalog excellence with PPC precision.
1
Amazon Listing & Catalog Setup
We built keyword-optimized product listings from scratch — including A+ Content, Brand Store, and enhanced images. Every listing was structured around high-converting search terms identified through in-depth keyword research, giving the brand maximum discoverability from day one.
2
Brand Registry & Protection Strategy
We immediately enrolled the brand in Amazon Brand Registry, set MAP pricing policies, and put Transparency codes in place. This protected the brand from unauthorized sellers while building the authority needed to qualify for premium advertising features like Sponsored Brands.
3
Structured Amazon PPC Launch
We launched a 3-phase PPC strategy: discovery campaigns to gather data, followed by targeted exact/phrase match campaigns using winning keywords, and finally a full-funnel approach with Sponsored Display and Sponsored Brands to capture top-of-funnel and retarget warm audiences.
4
Review Velocity & Social Proof
Using Amazon’s Vine Program and automated review request emails via the “Request a Review” tool, we built social proof rapidly. Within 60 days, flagship products crossed the 50-review threshold — significantly improving conversion rates and organic ranking.

Real Numbers. Real Growth.
