One hero product, scaled into a category leader.
In one quarter we concentrated Greenman’s advertising behind its best-selling manicure tool, expanded the variant catalog around it, and grew sales 55% month over month at its peak — while net profit climbed even faster than revenue.
April baseline vs. peak month
April 2026 → May 2026A strong product, spread too thin. We focused it.
The problem
- Ad spend was scattered across a 30+ ASIN catalog of color variants, with no clear hero to concentrate rank behind.
- TACoS ran above 17% while several well-reviewed variants received almost no traffic at all.
- Sales were volatile month to month, making inventory planning and payout forecasting unreliable.
The strategy
- Identify the proven hero listing — the best-selling cuticle trimmer converting over 74% of sessions — and fund it first.
- Restructure PPC so the hero drives category rank while low-cost campaigns defend each color variant.
- Scale spend into the strongest month, then hold efficiency: TACoS fell from 17.1% to 14.1% as sales grew.
Four moves, run in sequence.
