In just a few days Gearhub America went from no sales to a top 10 bestseller in its category and generating more than $2,000 per day (despite hijackers).

Gearhub used the Honeyfuel to power the launch of a new product — solar eclipse glass. Gearhub utilized the Honeyrank tool which was used a promotional giveaway to increase sales velocity and improve keyword ranking. The improved BSR and keyword ranking allowed Gearhub to move up to capture more impressions, clicks, and sales.

Results:

  • $2,000+ sales per day
  • Page 1 ranking for target keywords
  • Top 10 BSR in category
  • Trending towards more than $60,000 sales per month

To successfully launch, Gearhub identified the most important customer search for solar eclipse sunglasses. It setup a Honeyrank campaign to stimulate the Amazon algorithm. Part of the Honeyrank campaign is to run a promotion to boost BSR. Honeyrank sold 74 units total over the course of 4-days.

The results did not happen immediately, but after four days of using Honeyrank Gearhub’s products jumped onto page 1 for the most important keyword terms. Here are the results below:
