client Challenges

“Everyone knows Amazon but they don’t know we do food”, said a program manager at Amazon Fresh. The primary objectives of the project were to effectively drive customers to Amazon Fresh grocery stores and optimize the cost per acquisition (cost per store visits). The company faced several challenges in achieving these goals:

High existing brand awareness

Introducing new products is risky, and even top brands can fail. They can face an oversaturated market, poor product-market fit, etc. See more

High competition & growing ad costs

The grocery market was highly competitive, and the costs associated with advertising were continually increasing. See more

Narrow targeting

The efforts were focused on targeting only the areas near physical stores to drive and maximize local customer engagement. See more

Measurement (KPI) difficulties

It was challenging to tie outcomes (store visitors) to campaigns, ads, etc. See more

The collaboration between AmazonFresh and VIDEN Growth yielded remarkable results, highlighting the importance of expertice. Launching Google Ads Discovery and Digital campaigns increased store visits by 62% while reducing the cost per acquisition (cost per store visit) by 77%:

By incorporating Discovery and Display campaigns, we received visually appealing ads that attracted more attention than plain text and advanced targeting capabilities that helped reach the most relevant audience, significantly increasing engagement and conversions.

Narrow targeting allowed us to decrease wasted ad spend by focusing resources on those who are more likely to convert.

Campaign optimization was essential to achieving such outstanding results.
