Nectar deployed a sophisticated strategy, leveraging the advanced capabilities of Amazon Marketing Cloud (AMC) within our data analytics platform, iDerive to build and activate high-value custom audience segments:

1. Advanced Audience Segmentation:
   
   • Precisely identify shoppers who hadn't purchased from Doctor's Best in the past 365 days.
   • Applied minimum price threshold filters, aligning targeting with the brand's ideal customer value profile.
   • Excluded lower-value shopper segments to enhance budget efficiency and focus on profitable acquisition.
2. Profit-Aware Bid Management:
   
   • Strategically reduced baseline bids by 50% across tested campaigns to establish a cost-efficient foundation.
   • Applied significant 80% bid increases exclusively for the high-value, well-defined NTB audiences, concentrating investment where it drives the most profitable growth.
   • Prioritized spend towards high-intent searches for top category terms made by these qualified NTB prospects.
3. Targeted Campaign Optimization:
   
   • Concentrated efforts on non-branded Sponsored Products and Sponsored Brands campaigns where NTB acquisition was key.
   • Implemented dynamic bid adjustments informed by customer purchase history analysis.
   • Ensured algorithmic priority was given to reaching high-value NTB prospects over existing customers within these campaigns.
