52% Sales Growth with a Stable ACOS
Kiro Beauty, a leading beauty makeup brand, wanted to increase Amazon ad-driven revenue while protecting profitability in a highly competitive Beauty & Personal Care category. Growth had started to plateau, so the brief was to lift ad-attributed sales and order volume, scale spend efficiently, and hold the line on ACOS despite rising competition and CPCs.
A review of the prior month showed steady sales but untapped headroom in high-converting keywords and placements; CPC was stable around ₹16, meaning there was room to scale without paying more per click. The plan was a controlled-scaling strategy — deploy more budget into winning campaigns while watching ACOS and CPC daily, rather than cutting spend.
Strategy
- Increased investment in high-converting Sponsored Products campaigns
- Expanded coverage on top-performing search terms
- Improved placement visibility for converting keywords
- Reallocated budget from low-performing targets to revenue-driving campaigns
- Monitored ACOS and CPC daily to prevent inefficient scaling
Execution
- Optimized bids on top-performing keywords and ASIN targets
- Increased budget allocation for campaigns generating consistent sales
- Reduced spend leakage from underperforming targets
- Improved placement participation during peak shopping periods
- Tracked daily ACOS, CPC, and sales trends to maintain control while scaling
- Ad-attributed sales grew 55.7% (₹8.83L → ₹13.75L) in a single month of controlled scaling
- Spend rose only 34.8% (₹9.98L → ₹13.45L) — sales grew faster than cost
- ROAS improved from 1.67 to 1.75 while ACOS fell from 59.74% to 57.10%
- CPC held close to ₹16 throughout, confirming the lift came from allocation, not from paying more per click
Aggressive scaling and efficiency aren't mutually exclusive. By reallocating budget toward proven keywords and placements and tracking ACOS/CPC daily, sales grew faster than spend — and profitability improved in the same month.
