Key Challenges
“We were selling directly to Amazon, which was a big mistake because then our pricing strategy went nowhere. Anyone who could fog a mirror was selling Spectra’s products too and from a wholesaler standpoint. We really needed the reporting, we needed the data, we needed a partner that understood the marketplace.” — Chris Mayhew, Spectra Baby USA Sales Executive
SHRINKING MARGINS
- Unauthorized sellers breaking MAP.
- Varied pricing on Amazon.
MISINFORMATION
- Inconsistent product content listings.
- Inaccurate information spreading across sellers.
LIMITED REPORTING
- Limited control and data on performance.
- No way to track unauthorized sellers.
FRUSTRATION WITH 1P
- Amazon didn’t care as much about Spectra Baby’s problems as they did.
PARTNERSHIP
Our Approach
Spectra Baby USA needed to clean up their Amazon channel. Their Brand Manager became their go-to Amazon expert, helping them use our data-backed, rules-based advertising and SEO campaigns to optimize content on all SKUs. Then we connected them with legal counsel for MAP policy creation and legal enforcement assistance. Finally, Pattern helped Spectra with real-time MAP compliance and growth data from our Predict software.
