About Woodies

Cory Stout started Woodies in 2012 to provide fun, beach-ready products made from wood and bamboo. In 6 years, he’s sold quality sunglasses to more than 50,000 happy customers. Listen to this podcast on how Woodies got started.
 
Woodies keep it simple, but fit a certain theme. People wearing Woodies are likely to be heard saying ‘See you at the beach!’ That mix of simplicity and beach vibes attract customers that want to look stylish, but can also be active while enjoying the sand.

Using Amazon Ads to Improve Sales and Scale your business

Woodies wanted to scale, but were faced with the challenges of building a brand off Amazon vs on Amazon, having many products to offer, and the difficulty of getting started with Amazon PPC. Before Ad Badger, Cory said his account was disorganized and bids were all over the place. He needed organization and automated bids to bid the perfect amount every time. 

Cory created a great website to sell products on, but knew Amazon is where the audience is. He needed a solution to give his products visibility, keep his ad campaigns organized, and be able to increase the ROI he was getting from his off-Amazon site. 

Cory’s ACoS was reaching astronomical heights and revenue was improving, but not quick enough. He needed something to level up his Amazon account.

Ad Badger Gets Woodies up to speed with fast optimization 

Woodies was one of the first large accounts on the Ad Badger platform. Once all Cory’s Seller Central data was loaded on Ad Badger, the Bid Optimizer went to work to cater to Cory’s Target ACoS. The Bid Optimizer worked furiously overnight to cut out wasted spend and lower Cory’s ACoS to reach maximum profitability. Negative Keyword rules were set to avoid wasted spend on clicks that didn’t pertain to Woodies’ product. 

On top of that, Cory was new to Amazon PPC. There was a learning curve that needed to be addressed. During his time with Ad Badger, Cory had 3 personal consultations and a total of 36 emails exchanged.
