Overview

About Ooly

Ooly is a leading brand in the arts and crafts industry. They came to us with concerns of unauthorized resellers on their Amazon listings, causing low buy box win rates on multiple ASIN's. Ooly wanted to put a strategy in place immediately to address the low ASP's that these resellers were causing. VantageBP, together with Ooly, crafted a brand protection strategy to remove unauthorized resellers and increase channel sales by creating a stepped priority of ASIN's to tackle first.

By focusing on priority ASIN's with the greatest ASP concerns, Ooly could easily track their ROI through both increased buy box wins as well as sales increases.
