A strong acquisition mix alongside repeat growthThe commercial challenge
Growth required more than increasing advertising spend.
The account needed catalogue quality, organic visibility, retail media, product prioritisation and customer-mix analysis to work together. The objective was to create stronger total marketplace growth while improving category position, repeat contribution and the quality of customer acquisition.
What Digital Bees connected
Six workstreams operating as one growth system.
Catalogue and Discoverability
Strengthened product information, search relevance and the catalogue foundations required for better discovery and conversion.
Retail-Media Structure
Connected campaign architecture, targeting and budget decisions with product roles, conversion potential and growth priorities.
Organic and Paid Growth
Reviewed advertising alongside organic contribution so paid investment supported a stronger total marketplace business.
Commercial Planning
Used product-level performance, customer contribution and category position to guide priorities instead of treating all products equally.
Review Cadence
Converted reporting into recurring actions, accountable owners and decisions that could be followed through over multiple quarters.
Customer-Mix Analysis
Tracked acquisition and repeat contribution together to avoid pursuing top-line growth without understanding its quality.
The outcome
Revenue, rank, acquisition and repeat moved together.
Marketplace revenue grew by approximately 83% across the measured period.
The reported Best Seller Rank number improved by approximately 92%, materially strengthening category position. Repeat contribution more than doubled, recording approximately 143% relative growth across seven quarters.
New-to-brand contribution remained close to 80%, indicating that stronger repeat contribution developed alongside continued customer acquisition.
Methodology and confidentiality
How to interpret these figures.
The percentages are calculated from client-account and marketplace reporting available to Digital Bees and rounded for public presentation. Rank improvement represents the relative reduction in the reported Best Seller Rank number; repeat growth is measured relative to its starting contribution. The client identity, financial values and commercially sensitive operational details are withheld. These results reflect one account, category, period and operating context; they are evidence of past work, not a guarantee of future results.
