Case Studies using Amazon Forecasting Shift:

Case Study 1: Capitalizing on Prime Day Momentum  

A brand’s advertising manager, riding a strong Prime Day, used the model to justify a 40% ad spend increase ($40K above budget). By inputting the updated spend pace, they presented a sales projection to their CEO, securing approval. The result? Actual sales hit $1.3M, within 0.5% of the model’s forecast, proving its precision in high-stakes scenarios.

Case Study 2: Profitability Across Marketplaces  

A brand aiming to boost profitability before an acquisition initially cut ad spend across all marketplaces. The model revealed one market’s Advertising Coefficient was 3x higher than another, despite similar ACOS, TACOS, and customer retention metrics. This insight shifted their strategy; maintaining spend in the high-return market while cutting elsewhere, balancing sales and profitability.

Case Study 3: Setting the Right TACOS Target  

Facing rising Amazon fees, a brand needed to optimize TACOS without sacrificing sales. The model projected sales volumes at varying ad spend levels, identifying which marketplaces offered the best return and which were nearing saturation. This data-driven approach guided their TACOS targets, aligning with profit goals.

Case Study 4: Measuring Promotional Impact  

A brand went aggressive with Prime Day discounts, unsure of the impact due to year-over-year changes (e.g., Prime Day extending to four days). With historical accuracy within ±4%, the model underpredicted sales in July by -19%, signaling the promotion’s incremental value. This gave the marketing director a data point to quantify the campaign’s success.
