Zellie's

A dentist-founded xylitol brand with real demand and loyal customers — running on an Amazon channel that was leaking revenue to 3P sellers, weak listings, and no ad strategy. We fixed the channel.

The Challenges

  • · 3P seller buy box erosion — unauthorized sellers undercutting on key SKUs, pushing buy box ownership below 77% on high-traffic peppermint and spearmint listings
  • · Fragmented catalog — legacy 250ct and 100ct products coexisting with newer 540ct and 240ct lines, splitting traffic and creating buyer confusion
  • · Underperforming listings — CVRs as low as 12–13% on high-session SKUs, indicating listing content failing to convert category-aware shoppers
  • · No volume strategy on the larger count SKUs — the 540ct products had the best value proposition but weren't being prioritized in ad spend or search placement

What RMC Did

  • Buy box win rate defense strategy — repricing, inventory control, and seller compliance to recover and maintain 98% ownership across the portfolio
  • Catalog restructuring — prioritized the high-count 540ct and 240ct products as primary catalog drivers, improving value perception and average order revenue
  • Listing optimization across all 12 SKUs — SEO-driven titles, benefit-led bullet points, and xylitol/dental health keyword indexing to capture high-intent oral care traffic
  • Targeted PPC campaigns — Sponsored Products and Sponsored Brands focused on xylitol, sugar-free gum, and dental health categories with competitor conquesting
  • Inventory planning and restocking coordination — ensuring consistent availability to prevent revenue gaps and protect buy box position during high-demand periods
