Case Study

Vivo

VIVO specializes in high-end ergonomic solutions for the office. Products are sold direct to consumer, as well as on Amazon. They came to WBX to help boost Amazon sales while leveraging their website as a complementary sales channel.

CHALLENGE:

Increase Amazon Sales

As third-party cookies are disappearing, first-party data has become essential for effective advertising. Media buyers face challenges such as brands’ reluctance to integrate tags on their websites, static data sets, and not understanding or leveraging the Amazon Marketing Cloud (AMC).

VIVO’s challenge was finding net new customers who had not been exposed to ads, to
drive an increase in sales.

SOLUTION:

WBX GLASS & The AMC-SHOPIFY Integration

  • WBX’s proprietary platform, WBX Glass, utilized AMC to analyze
    cross-channel touch points, focusing on purchase patterns
    and customer journeys.
  • The AMC-Shopify integration enabled a comprehensive
    product and audience base for products sold on Amazon, as
    well as complementary product sales.
  • This integration allowed for daily updates to the customer
    pool to ensure dynamic data for audience creation.

WBX Glass used Shopify data to identify customers who purchased more than two products on VIVO’s Shopify site to create a lookalike audience. WBX created and targeted a 1st party audience segment with ads promoting VIVO’s full product catalog. Ads were targeted to lookalike customers while negating anyone who had previously purchased through Amazon.

Campaigns were executed through the WBX Amazon DSP seat, focused on conversion rate and audience engagement.

METHODOLOGY:

1ST-Party Data for Cross Sales

First-party data from Shopify enabled actionable cross-sell opportunities:

  • User purchase rates were 15% higher for customers from the 1st-party lookalike audiences
  • 50% of the targeted 1st-party customers had not been exposed to an ad, DSP or sponsored search, in 30 days.
  • WBX enhanced the media mix by prioritizing the AMC-Shopify integration for dynamic audience updates
  • Additional budget was allocated to campaigns targeting first-party data-driven segments
  • WBX continually optimized audience strategies for effective retargeting

“WBX’s innovative approach and deep understanding of AMC helped us bridge the gap between our DTC business and Amazon. This allowed us to drive more holistic action across our customer base agnostic of their purchasing platform.”

Cody Hirstein, Marketing Manager at Vivo US

RESULTS:

Vivo will expand testing across additional product lines to increase cross sales. By leveraging new data points from the WBX- Shopify integration, they can test retargeting cart abandoners across Amazon.

Vivo garnered a 15% increase in purchase rates and 50% incremental reach in ad exposed customers.
