Amazon Seller Case Study: Selling Furniture On Amazon

When a furniture brand struggles on Amazon after years of trying, the right help can change everything. This case study shows how our UK based Amazon Agency took a furniture brand from just £10,000 monthly sales to £567,000 per month in only 16 months.

 

The Problem: A Brand Stuck on Amazon

In August 2023, we started working with a furniture brand that had been selling on Amazon for four years. Even with all that experience, they were stuck competing with other sellers and only making about £10,000 each month. Their old Amazon manager didn't know enough about the platform, so the brand missed lots of chances to grow.

What They Already Had

Here's some details about the client when we began working with them:

  • Product Range: 110-120 different listings with over 1,000 products
  • Higher Prices: Their products cost 20-30% more than similar items
  • Good Reviews: Most products had 4.3-4.5 star ratings (Amazon rounds these up to 4.5 stars)
  • Brand Registry: They could use Amazon's special brand tools, but weren't using them

These basics were solid, but they weren't doing the vital work needed to succeed.

 

Finding the Main Problems

When we looked at their account, we found six big issues stopping their growth:

1. No Keyword Strategy

The brand wasn't targeting any search words; they were invisible. Without the right keywords, their products were lost in Amazon's huge marketplace.

2. Weak Pictures and Branding

Even though they had access to special brand tools, the client had:

  • No helpful product images with information
  • No A+ Content (enhanced product descriptions)
  • No Brand Store (their own shop on Amazon)
  • Basic photos with no lifestyle shots

This hurt both how many people clicked on their products (click-through-rate) and how many actually bought them (conversion-rate).

3. Poor Product Listings

Their product pages weren't set up to work well with Amazon's system or appeal to customers. The titles, bullet points, and descriptions didn't include important search words or compelling reasons to buy.

4. Confusing Product Options

Some listings had up to 70 different varients (different sizes, colours, etc.), but they were organised poorly. This made it hard for customers to find exactly what they wanted.

5. Bad Claims Handling

When customers complained or filed A-to-Z claims, the brand handled them poorly. This cost them money they could have saved with better management.

6. Wasted Advertising Money

Their advertising was just basic auto-campaigns with no smart targeting or organisation. They were basically throwing money away without getting good results.

 

Our Plan to Fix Everything

We knew we could dramatically improve their sales by fixing their product listings, using Amazon's brand tools properly, and creating smart advertising campaigns. Our approach was to build on what they already did well while fixing each problem step by step.

 

How We Made It Work: Four Main Steps

Step 1: Using What They Already Had

Instead of starting over completely, we found their strengths and made them better. Their good products and review rating gave us a strong place to start.

First Actions:

  • Made their best listings with good reviews even better
  • Won back money from customer A to Z claims (about £40,000)
  • Fixed account health problems
  • Removed old listings that they didn't use anymore
  • Added new products based on market research

This foundation work was important before we started growing the business.

 

Step 2: Complete SEO Improvement

Our SEO plan involved studying competitors and adding the right keywords everywhere on their product pages.

Finding the Right Keywords: We used a tool called Helium10 to see what keywords worked for successful competitors. We took their best keywords and filtered them to find the ones that actually make people buy - usually longer, more specific phrases.

Title Improvement Formula:

[Brand Name] [Main Product Type / First Keyword] [Key Feature] [Size/Color/Material] [Secondary Keyword] [Specific Type] 

Each title used exact keyword matches while staying under Amazon's 200-character limit. Titles included important details like size, colour, material, and special features to match what customers were searching for.

Bullet Point Strategy: We created a simple system for bullet points:

  • Bullets 1-4: Main product benefits with target keywords worked in naturally
  • Bullet 5: Important product info or extra keywords
  • Each bullet under 250 characters for easy reading
  • Keywords added naturally without stuffing
  • Clear, simple language anyone could understand

Description and A+ Content: We completely rewrote product descriptions to include exact keyword matches while keeping them interesting and helpful. We balanced keyword use with persuasive language, giving detailed product information while following Amazon's rules.

Ongoing Improvements: Every 30 days, we updated keywords based on how well they were working - a continuous improvement approach that most competitors weren't doing.

 

Step 3: Visual Design Makeover

Since many shoppers don't read long product descriptions, we focused heavily on visuals.

Custom Product Images: We created unique image sets for each product variation. For a listing with 70 different options, this meant 70 different main images showing exactly what customers would get. When someone searched for "black chair and table furniture set," they saw exactly that combination in the search results.

This attention to detail helped more people click on their products and buy them because customers could immediately see the right product.

Product Benefits in Images: We highlighted key features and benefits directly in the product photos. Since many shoppers rely on pictures, this made sure important selling points were communicated even to people who didn't read the text.

3D Video: For their best-selling product, we created professional 3D video content. While this took time and money, it made the listing stand out from competitors and helped more people buy.

Brand Store Creation: We built a complete Brand Store showing their entire product range with professional design and easy navigation. In November 2024 alone, the Brand Store made £35,000 in revenue. This was important because without a Brand Store, clicking on the brand name shows customers a page where competitors' products also appear.

Step 4: Smart Advertising Management

Our advertising approach focused on using the budget efficiently and continuously improving campaigns.

Testing Method: We started with broad, phrase, and auto campaigns to discover which keywords actually worked - a much cheaper approach than starting with expensive exact match campaigns.

Negative Keyword Strategy: To protect the advertising budget, we negated phrases we knew wouldn't lead to sales.

Campaign Organisation: We organised campaigns based on:

  • Different styles
  • Size options (small, large, extra large, etc.)
  • Product categories
  • How well they performed

We watched closely and blocked poor-performing keywords as we got data, continuously making campaigns work better.

Category Campaign Improvement: For top-performing products, we created special campaigns based on product ratings and competitive pricing.

 

Process Improvements and Problem Solving

Managing Product Variations

Handling listings with up to 70 options each required careful organisation of parent-child relationships. We chose appropriate variation themes to make it easy for customers to find products and used systematic processes to maintain accuracy.

A-to-Z Claims Management

We created a complete claims management strategy using a tracking system to monitor progress. Over the 15-month period, this systematic approach helped recover about £40,000 in disputed charges that might have been lost otherwise.

Account Health Improvement

Through proactive compliance management and quick problem resolution, we improved the client's Account Health score from 200 to 364. This improvement was important because scores above 300 provide extra protection - Amazon won't immediately shut down accounts for policy issues as long as sellers actively work to fix problems.

Results: Amazing Transformation

The results speak for themselves: going from £10,000 to £567,000 monthly revenue represents a 5,570% increase over 16 months. This transformation shows the power of systematic improvement across all aspects of Amazon selling.

  • Revenue Growth: £10,000 to £567,000 monthly (5,570% increase)
  • Claims Recovery: £40,000 in successfully won customer complaints
  • Account Health: Improved from 200 to 364
