Client Overview
Our client is an established medical support and orthopedic brace brand with a successful Amazon business in the United States.
To expand into Europe, the company initially relocated a team member from the US to manage both Amazon and offline retail development. Despite these efforts, the European business struggled to gain traction. The company later entrusted us with the management and development of its European Amazon business.
The Challenge
The brand had already proven its products in the US, but its European Amazon presence had not translated that success into meaningful market share. Product content needed to be rebuilt for European customers, the strongest products needed clearer prioritisation, and individual marketplaces required different development strategies.
There was also an additional layer of complexity: these were medical support products. Creating effective content required careful product research and a clear understanding of product construction, relevant areas of the body, intended support functions, and practical use cases.
Rebuilding the Product Experience
We began by restructuring and rewriting the product listings, with particular focus on the brand’s strongest knee support products.
Our approach combined Amazon SEO with research-driven content development to explain product functionality in a way that was commercially effective and easy for customers to understand.
At the same time, we refreshed the visual presentation. The new creative direction presented the products more naturally, communicated functionality more clearly, and strengthened the overall perception of product quality.
Focusing on the Right Markets and Products
Rather than attempting to scale every product and country equally, we concentrated resources around the strongest commercial opportunities.
Knee supports became an important focus, with the UK developing into a particularly strong market. Germany required a more gradual build-up, reinforcing the importance of treating European marketplaces individually rather than assuming they would develop at the same pace.
A Rapid European Turnaround
Within approximately one year of taking over the European Amazon operation, the business reached a sales scale comparable to the brand’s established US Amazon business.
This was particularly meaningful because the US represented the brand’s mature Amazon market, while Europe was a smaller and more fragmented regional opportunity that had previously struggled to gain traction.
The UK became one of the strongest contributors, while Germany was progressively developed into a meaningful market through longer-term optimisation.
Results
From September 2016 to December 2019, we helped transform an underperforming European expansion into an established multi-market Amazon business.
The engagement demonstrated that international Amazon growth requires more than transferring a successful US listing into another region. For technically demanding products such as medical supports, success depended on combining detailed product research, high-quality content, improved visual presentation, marketplace prioritisation, and ongoing optimisation.
