About ELSE Nutrition

Else Nutrition is a pioneer in clean, plant-based nutrition, offering formulas, cereals, and protein powders designed for infants, toddlers, kids. Built on a mission to provide healthier alternatives to dairy and soy, the brand has become a trusted choice for U.S. families seeking safe, sustainable, and science-backed nutrition across different age groups. In early 2025, they turned to SellerApp, looking to move beyond basic AI automation and into a deeper, strategic optimization to scale performance.

Summary

High ACoS, weak Sponsored Display visibility, and sluggish new-to-brand growth were capping Else Nutrition’s momentum on Amazon.

As a former AI automation client, Else upgraded to SellerApp’s PPC management for a strategy-driven partnership. Their aim: cut wasted spend, attract new customers, and scale sustainably beyond the 18% ACoS already achieved.

Within weeks, SellerApp rebuilt campaigns from the ground up—scaling 6X, refreshing creatives, and sharpening targeting. The results were decisive: ACoS dropped 73%, TACoS hit 6.7%, and visibility surged while spend fell.

Thrilled with the turnaround, Else has since expanded the partnership, bringing SellerApp on board for Walmart PPC to replicate success across new channels.

The Challenges Else Nutrition Faced in Scaling on Amazon

Despite years of success and a recognizable brand, Else Nutrition faced growth bottlenecks that were eroding advertising efficiency and hindering the acquisition of new customers:

High ACoS Despite Manual Efforts
The brand was investing time and effort into manually optimizing campaigns, but results remained flat. Their ad spend was climbing, and the returns just didn’t justify it.

Stagnant New-to-Brand Growth
While loyal customers were returning, very few new shoppers were discovering the brand. This over-reliance on repeat purchases limited their ability to scale sustainably.

Ineffective Targeting & Keyword Strategy
Campaigns leaned too heavily on branded keywords, capturing existing demand but missing broader opportunities. Generic, high-intent keywords that could attract new audiences were underutilized.

Uneven Sales Distribution Across ASINs
A small subset of products accounted for most of the sales, leaving potential revenue on the table from underperforming or overlooked listings.

Limited Visibility into Sponsored Display (SD) Campaigns
Without clear data and insights from SD campaigns, Else Nutrition couldn’t fully tap into retargeting or upper-funnel awareness strategies, crucial for acquiring new customers.

Inventory Instability
Frequent stockouts disrupted campaign performance, hurt organic rankings, and created gaps in visibility that competitors were quick to fill.
In short, Else Nutrition wasn’t just spending more, they were spending inefficiently. And without a clearer strategy or structure, even their best products weren’t reaching the audiences they needed to grow.

How SellerApp Transformed the Strategy

Else Nutrition started with SellerApp’s AI automation in January and February to streamline performance and stabilize spend. Once the foundation was in place, the account was taken over by our PPC Agency experts. This shift allowed the team to zero in on high-intent keywords, control bidding more precisely, and test new ad structures in real time. What followed was a complete advertising transformation.

1. Strategic Deep Dive

SellerApp began by turning historical data into actionable insights. Auto campaign reports were analyzed to surface high-performing keywords and missed opportunities.

ASINs were segmented based on their potential and relevance, while ad campaigns were rebuilt around how parents actually shop. Specifically, by age group. From baby cereals to toddler formula and kids’ health mixes, each campaign spoke to a specific stage in a child's nutrition journey.

2. Full-Funnel PPC Execution

Campaigns didn’t just grow, they multiplied with purpose. From just 15 active campaigns, SellerApp scaled to 93 carefully structured ones, each designed to serve a clear objective.

Campaigns were strategically grouped into branded (to retain existing customers), generic (to attract new audiences), and competitor (to win over shoppers browsing rival products). This layered structure enabled Else Nutrition to engage buyers across the full funnel, from discovery to decision.

Product Attribute Targeting (PAT) ads supported this approach by placing Else’s products directly on competitor listings and reinforcing their own listings with internal ads to prevent brand leakage (defensive ppc ad campaigns).

3. A+ Content and Creative Optimization

In a space as personal as child nutrition, creative matters. SellerApp conducted a deep competitor analysis and upgraded Else Nutrition’s A+ content with videos, side-by-side comparisons, and emotionally resonant visuals.

These assets were strategically reused in Sponsored Brands and Sponsored Display ads to maintain visual continuity and reinforce trust at every touchpoint.

4. Sponsored Display Revamp Using DLG Strategy

While DSP was out of budget, SellerApp executed a DLG-based Sponsored Display campaign to mimic its reach and precision.

Around 30% of the ad budget was focused on in-market shoppers, recent searchers within the category, and remarketing audiences. This not only expanded top-of-funnel visibility but did so efficiently, keeping ACoS under 12%.

5. Smarter Budget Allocation

Rather than increasing spend, SellerApp made the existing budget work harder. Poorly performing campaigns were scaled down, while high-return ASINs received strategic investment.

Tactical pricing levers like coupons, strike-through discounts, and real-time price adjustments were used to stay competitive. Especially, in a category where value perception plays a critical role.

In short, SellerApp didn’t just optimize ad campaigns. They rebuilt Else Nutrition’s Amazon strategy into a full-funnel performance engine designed to win attention, convert new shoppers, and scale sustainably.

The Results: What Success Looks Like for SellerApp

After partnering with SellerApp, Else Nutrition’s Amazon performance peaked. They witnessed their ACoS going down from 66.15% to 17.6%, while reducing ad spend by more than 75%. Despite the lower spend, ad revenue held strong at over 91% of previous levels, demonstrating a major boost in efficiency. TACoS dropped from 25% to just 6.7%, giving the brand more margin to reinvest in growth.

Click-through rates rose from 0.22% to 0.32%, a clear sign that sharper creative and better targeting were reaching the right audience. Their hero ASIN’s organic rank jumped from #24 to #18, fueled by improved visibility, ad performance, and inventory stability.

But perhaps the most telling outcome? The results on Amazon were so compelling that Else Nutrition expanded its partnership with SellerApp in April of 2025. This time for Walmart PPC services. Confident in the strategy and execution of SellerApp, they took the leap into a second marketplace, eager to replicate their success.

What began as an effort to fix inefficiencies on Amazon turned into a multi-channel growth story driven by data, creative precision, and SellerApp’s ability to turn challenges into compounding wins.
