From Break-Even to +$10K/Month Net Profit

Overview

At reception, Brand F (Beauty & Personal Care) was grasping for air. Sales were $10-20K/month. P&L was black every two months only to be followed by a red month. We ran a PPC War Room in January and built a plan.

The Challenge

P&L was black every two months, then red. Grasping for air.

Sales stuck at $10-20K/month

P&L alternating between black and red months

Spending on irrelevant targets bleeding budget

Bidding based on ACoS instead of organic rank and profit

PPC War Room + Global Negation

Our Approach

PPC War Room in January. Researched high-volume keywords where the brand had above-market CVR, deployed Global Negation, and built Exact Match infrastructure.

Ranked

Net profit from $0-1K to $10K+/month. Sales tripled. ACoS improved 12% despite 3x spend. Fun fact: purposely not focusing on ACoS improved ACoS. This is when an experienced team can suck the oxygen out of a niche.

Key Learnings

Main Driver of Change

Global Negation deployed to stop the bleeding, combined with bidding to organic rank instead of ACoS. The shift from ACoS-tracking to rank-based bidding meant every dollar pushed toward actual market position, and the ACoS improved by itself as a side effect.

What's Next

8 out of 10 top keywords are ranked on page 1. The approach is now being expanded to additional ASINs in the brand's catalog, applying the same PPC War Room methodology that turned this product from break-even to $10K+ monthly profit.
