How OneStone helped one brand rise to the #1 market share in their category.

For over 20 years, Thermacell has had one mission: to liberate outdoor lovers from the nuisance of insects. The problem: insect repellent is a highly competitive, low-priced category with multiple verticals (sprays, lotions, candles, wearables, sonic repellers), all competing for the same customer. The objective of our partnership: to position Thermacell's premium product as the leader in the insect repellent category on Amazon.


Content

In order to lay the foundation and gain trust as a premium product, we built out educational and eye-catching content.


  • Strategically ordered, informative image carousels grabbed shopper attention at the top of the page.

  • SEO-enriched, reader-friendly copy made Thermacell searchable and informative to product researchers.

  • Engaging A+ and easy-to-navigate brand store pages added another level of brand legitimacy, along with categorical relevance.

Why is it important to have a Brand Store Page on Amazon?


Having a brand store page on Amazon can be important for a number of reasons. First and foremost, it provides a centralized location for customers to find and purchase all of a brand's products on the platform. This can help increase visibility and sales for the brand. Additionally, a brand store page allows a company to showcase its products in a branded and curated manner, which can help to build trust and credibility with customers. Furthermore, it can also allow a company to gain valuable insights into customer behavior and preferences through Amazon's analytics tools

Advertising

With our deep knowledge of Amazon advertising, we managed Thermacell’s comprehensive search and display advertising execution, driving category visibility and acquiring new-to-brand shoppers. With continuous monitoring of ad and keyword strategies, we quickly adapted to consumer behavior and changes in search algorithms, driving sales where people were searching.

Why we love New To Brand metrics on Amazon Advertising

How much does it cost to acquire new customers on Amazon? It’s the elusive question that comes up frequently in discussions with our clients. Fortunately, one metric on Amazon helps us answer this. In short, new-to-brand metrics determine whether an ad-attributed purchase was made by an existing customer or one buying a brand’s product on Amazon for the first time over the prior year. With new-to-brand, advertisers receive campaign performance metrics such as:

  • Total new-to-brand purchases and sales

  • New-to-brand purchase rate

  • Cost per new-to-brand customer

New-to-brand (NTB) gives advertisers better visibility into more than 100 campaign reporting metrics. No longer will brands have worry over where their marketing dollars are going towards due to the vast number of performance metrics in which new-to-brand metrics provides. “This is a great metric when you are buying category terms and going after new customers. As advertising gets more competitive on Amazon, I am always looking for new ways for our clients to measure success outside of the traditional return on ad spend,” says VP of Brand Marketing & Strategy Jacob Snelson, “what if you could have a smaller return on ad spend but your NTB percentage is 90% and my repeat purchase rate is 10x in one year. It’s ok to have a lower return on ad spend if it turns into X amount of dollars in the next year.”


Here are 3 ways NTB can help drive growth:

  1. Measuring Expansion: Yes, we love our existing customers, but in order to grow we need to grow our customer base. Acquiring new customers can be costly, but if we know how much a new customer is worth in their lifetime, it may be well worth it. If your overall return on ad spend seems a little low, is it worth it because you’ve gained new customers with a high lifetime value?

  2. Targeting the competition: If your NTB% is high, this means your ads are working and you’ve successfully taken some market share away from your competitors!

  3. Loyalty and overall brand strength: Some of your customers may not be aware of your entire assortment. Maybe you sell travel luggage, but your customer had no idea you also sell hiking accessories. When they end up searching for “hiking backpack” and find your ad in the search results, like a loyal companion they buy from you.


The Results

Thermacell is now the #1 Market Share in Mosquito Repellent Category. Our partnership with Thermacell has led to a 7.5x revenue growth in 4 years, #1 Best Seller Rank across 3 sub-categories, and is now the #1 market share in the mosquito repellent category.
