At a glance

Reported campaign results, stated plainly

These are US marketplace results from Amazon.com, not Canadian results. Figures come from the client report BIE prepared for the campaign period. The report does not state exact dates, and results depend on the product, category, pricing, inventory and budget, so they do not predict results for another brand.

The challenge

What the brand was up against

A crowded category

Mechanic soaps, pumice hand cleaners and degreasers competed for the same high-intent searches, with established brands and strong reviews.

A product education gap

Shoppers needed to understand what the products remove, who they are for and why they differ from ordinary hand soap.

Careful, simple copy

Grease, oil, adhesive, paint and urethane removal had to be explained in simple, shopper-friendly language.

Brand trust and consistency

The Amazon presence needed a clearer brand structure, a consistent listing style and stronger trust content.

What comes next
