Client background

A premium truck accessories brand, selling high-ticket parts where fitment decides the sale.

This automotive brand specializes in premium vehicle upgrades, heavy-duty towing systems and specialized utility accessories. It had an expanding product catalog and a strong position to claim in a lucrative category, but not yet the visibility to match.

The goal was to build sustainable sales momentum on Amazon, and to do it without burning through the budget that high-ticket products demand.

The problem

Scaling a high-ticket brand in automotive accessories is difficult: customer acquisition costs are high, vehicle compatibility requirements are complex, and competitors bid aggressively on the same terms.

The brand's month-over-month sales had flatlined. Impression share on high-value search terms was low, and it was not reaching profitable commercial buyers. High-ticket products also carry longer consideration periods, so building momentum meant an Amazon PPC structure built for efficiency from day one.

The solution

A high-efficiency Amazon PPC framework, built around premium buyer intent.

Four moves, run together, to capture high-ticket buyers and maximize return on ad spend.

  1. Placement control & targeting

    Built an aggressive campaign structure that favored Top of Search for the highest-converting keywords, with custom bid modifiers that sent spend to the placements where retail and commercial buyers converted fastest.

  2. High-ticket keyword funneling

    Mapped model-specific truck terms, heavy-duty utility keywords and commercial application phrases into strict exact match structures, and enforced negative keywords to stop broad match bleed and cut wasted clicks.

  3. Organic ranking acceleration

    Concentrated active campaign budget on a select group of high-margin, high-ticket anchor products. The added sales momentum strengthened organic rankings across the wider catalog.

  4. B2B targeting & fitment-ready listings

    Shaped custom targeting to appeal to corporate buyers on Amazon Business accounts, and refined listing copy, compatibility tables and technical specs to reduce buyer hesitation about vehicle fitment.

Monthly sales nearly doubled, at an ACOS under 12%.

Total monthly sales grew from $96,305.01 to $180,356.16 over five months, while ads returned $8.95 in sales for every $1 spent.
