How Billy Buckskin Achieved Results on Amazon.
About The Brand
Who is Billy Buckskin?
Billy Buckskin is an Amazon-first brand specializing in firestarter sticks and decorative pine cones for fireplaces. With roughly 90% of their revenue coming from Amazon, they're deeply embedded in the platform — and heavily dependent on seasonal demand spikes during fall and winter months.
The Challenge
Strong Demand, Weak Execution
Billy Buckskin was surviving, not thriving. At $287K per month, the brand was underperforming given the demand in their category. An AI-only PPC agency was running campaigns on autopilot with no strategic oversight, generic listing creative failed to differentiate their products, and there was no cohesive strategy connecting advertising, SEO, and content.
What They'd Already Tried
Before partnering with us, Billy Buckskin had tried several approaches that weren't moving the needle:
- AI-only PPC management system with no human strategy or oversight
- Generic main images that blended in with every other firestarter listing
- No organic SEO strategy — relying entirely on paid traffic to drive sales
- No connection between PPC spending and organic ranking improvement
