Background
With a sophisticated digital marketing strategy powered by Rithum, a leading speciality retailer that manufactures and sells its custom-designed products globally is gaining a competitive edge. Known as a major player in the industrial sector, this specialty retailer aims to become a household name synonymous with quality. Among its primary goals in the highly competitive e-commerce landscape: strengthening its online presence and converting customers into loyal brand ambassadors.
The Challenge
This Rithum client needed to consistently move consumers from inspiration to purchase across marketplaces, including Amazon — a daunting task considering its products have more than 100,000 different applications. With an expansive portfolio of products, the retailer’s customers run the gamut from the industrial sector to office park businesses.
To continue targeting its key audience that consists of novice consumers with limited knowledge of its product and do-it-yourself weekend warriors tackling home projects, the company focused on keywords and images — critical components to winning the Buy Box. This specialty retailer knew an effective digital marketing strategy meant getting the right products and promotions in front of the right customers at the right time.
The Solution
Recognising that managing a plethora of product listings and advertising campaigns designed to engage and influence consumers’ buying decisions could potentially overwhelm its staff and quickly deplete its resources, the company looked for help.
As a retailer trying to build its brand, the company wanted to market its products on multiple platforms without having to enter data across several channels manually. Before partnering with Rithum, the manufacturer was advertising on Amazon. After transitioning some of its product listings, it saw a dip in performance. The company quickly recognised it needed a robust e-commerce platform to lighten the lift for its overwhelmed staff and support fine-tuning its campaigns. After a seamless launch powered by Rithum, the company immediately experienced significant savings of valuable time and resources, enabling it to focus on other critical areas that could help grow its business such as building brand awareness.
The Results
For this speciality retailer, revenue is the metric for success. Initially, when the company came to Rithum, it was seeking aggressive revenue growth on both Seller Central and AMS/1P.

With Rithum’s support, this specialty retailer grew its third-party advertising revenue by 916% in the first month. The manufacturer went on to experience an increase of 2,500% in revenue over a four-month period. Moreover, in the early stages of its collaboration with Rithum, the company experienced an increase in branded searches, a sign its customised campaigns were in sync with its goal to build its brand.
With a well-managed Amazon Advertising strategy tailored for today’s consumer, this specialty retailer is poised to become the go-to choice for its product line and beyond.
After decades in business and an online strategy supported by Rithum, the company is electing to evolve and quickly adapt to the competitive e-commerce space.
