Case Study

Peak Season Performance Boost

A brand approached Blue Wheel as they headed into their peak season, concerned that results weren’t where they should be. With a ROAS of just 2.6, it was clear something had to change. Their products naturally draw strong interest in late summer and early autumn, so the opportunity was there; we just needed to capture it. Every impression had to count to turn seasonal buzz into real performance.

Walmart Marketplace Advertising

The Problem

The client wanted to boost sales on the Walmart platform during peak season and invest more, but the prior advertising felt inefficient, and hesitation was holding them back. Our job was to turn that around. The main challenge was diagnosing why sales weren’t scaling and efficiency remained low, all under tight deadlines. Speed, precision, and adaptability were key.

The Solution

Action Items

Peak season had already begun, and we had just 48 hours to build out and launch a new strategy. We quickly pivoted to focus on the 1P side of the business while scaling back 3P efforts, zeroing in on top-performing products with the highest sales potential. The goal was to drive immediate growth and improve efficiency before more opportunities were missed.

01

Restructuring Campaigns Around Proven Winners

We restructured campaigns to highlight best-selling products, optimized budgets around proven winners, and cut spend on low-performing items. Weak points in the previous approach were addressed, and the campaign structure was rebuilt from the ground up.

02

Driving Impact Through a Dual Strategy

Combining offensive and defensive tactics, we prioritized visibility when customers were actively shopping. Premium ad formats increased reach and impact, with 10 campaigns launched across two key product groups serving as the foundation for a more aggressive and efficient approach.

03

Turning Seasonal Interest Into Lasting Performance

Daily optimizations, adjusting bids, reallocating budgets, and refining target audiences helped maintain sales momentum. This fast, focused strategy turned seasonal interest into measurable results while steadily improving efficiency.
