THE CHALLENGE
Where they were stuck
Evolved Commerce is a full-service Amazon advertising agency helping marketplace sellers optimize their presence and scale profitably. The challenge was reaching Amazon sellers who are naturally skeptical of marketing pitches and only respond to outreach that demonstrates genuine marketplace fluency.
Amazon sellers are data-driven buyers who ignore generic digital marketing claims
Decision-makers hide behind storefronts, making them difficult to identify and verify
Marketplace sellers evaluate agencies on platform-native metrics most agencies can't cite
THE SYSTEM WE BUILT
How we solved their problems
Marketplace Seller Identification
Built prospect lists of Amazon sellers doing $1M+ in annual marketplace revenue using a combination of marketplace data and LinkedIn verification. This ensured outreach reached the actual decision-makers behind the storefronts, not generic marketing contacts.
Platform-Native Messaging
Every sequence led with marketplace-native metrics: ACOS improvement, organic ranking gains, buy box win rates, and review velocity. Each case study was tailored to the prospect's product category, so a skincare brand heard about skincare wins and a supplements brand heard about supplements.
Multi-Channel Conversion
AI cold calling followed up with prospects who opened emails but didn't respond, using metric-driven scripts. LinkedIn outreach built credibility through e-commerce growth content. The campaign booked 33 meetings and closed 3 deals in 3 months.
Amazon sellers operate in a data-rich environment, which means they're naturally skeptical of marketing pitches that don't speak their language. Evolved Commerce had the track record to prove they could acquire customers profitably on Amazon, but getting that proof in front of the right sellers required outreach that demonstrated genuine marketplace fluency.
Outbound System built prospect lists of Amazon sellers at scale (brands doing $1M+ in annual marketplace revenue) using a combination of marketplace data and LinkedIn verification to identify the actual decision-makers behind the storefronts. Enterprise email infrastructure ensured deliverability at volume, but the real lever was messaging specificity. Every sequence led with marketplace-native metrics: ACOS improvement, organic ranking gains, buy box win rates, and review velocity.
Each case study was tailored to the prospect's product category. A skincare brand heard about skincare wins. A supplements brand heard about supplements wins. AI cold calling supplemented email for prospects who opened but didn't respond, using brief, metric-driven scripts. LinkedIn outreach engaged Amazon sellers with marketplace growth strategy content to build credibility before the direct ask.
The multi-channel approach caught sellers at different points in their workflow. Email for the methodical planners, phone for the fast decision-makers between inventory checks. The campaign booked 33 meetings and secured 3 closed deals in 3 months, with prospects consistently noting that the outreach "actually understood Amazon."
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about this case study, answered.
How do you reach Amazon sellers who are skeptical of marketing agencies?
You speak their language. Evolved Commerce's outreach led with ACOS, organic ranking, buy box win rates, and review velocity, metrics Amazon sellers track daily. Prospects consistently noted the outreach "actually understood Amazon," which is why the campaign closed 3 deals in just 3 months.
Can cold email work for Amazon advertising agencies?
Yes. Evolved Commerce booked 33 meetings in 3 months by leading with platform-native metrics rather than generic marketing claims. The key was matching each case study to the prospect's specific product category, making every email feel personally relevant.
What channels work best for reaching e-commerce decision-makers?
Email is the primary volume driver, but AI cold calling is highly effective as a follow-up for Amazon sellers who engage but don't respond. These are fast-moving operators who make decisions between inventory checks, and a brief, metric-driven phone call can convert interest into a booked meeting quickly.

Strategy
Selling site performance technology to e-commerce brands requires specificity. Every online retailer knows speed matters, but most don't act until they see exactly how much revenue they're losing. We built Zycada's prospect lists around a specific platform signal: BigCommerce merchants. This targeting was strategic. BigCommerce stores often face performance challenges at scale that Zycada's bot technology directly addresses, and platform-specific messaging resonates far more than generic "make your site faster" pitches. Multi-provider verification identified the right decision-makers (heads of e-commerce, CTOs, digital directors) at these merchants. Cold email sequences led with platform-specific performance data: how comparable BigCommerce stores improved conversion rates and reduced cart abandonment after implementing Zycada. LinkedIn outreach ran in parallel, targeting e-commerce leaders at the same accounts with content about site speed's measurable impact on revenue, building awareness before the email ask. AI cold calling was deployed for enterprise BigCommerce merchants where the contract value warranted a direct conversation, using brief scripts that referenced the prospect's specific platform and traffic patterns. Enterprise infrastructure (2 USA IPs, 100 Outlook inboxes) maintained deliverability into the marketing and IT inboxes these prospects use. The campaign maintained a 32% reply rate and converted 5 new customers from 32 meetings in 3 months, validating that platform-specific targeting dramatically outperforms broad e-commerce prospecting.

Strategy
Property managers don't have time for sales pitches. They're managing tenant complaints, vendor no-shows, and maintenance backlogs. So we built outreach that acknowledged that reality. We targeted property managers overseeing apartment complexes and short-term rentals across Florida, filtering for portfolio size to ensure Al-Air was talking to accounts worth winning. Messaging led with the operational pain: emergency HVAC failures during peak season, the cost of tenant turnover from comfort complaints, and the hidden expense of reactive maintenance versus a preventative program. We positioned Al-Air not as another vendor bidding on one-off jobs, but as a maintenance partner who reduces the number of 2 AM phone calls. Cold email sequences were structured to hit decision-makers at the start of the week when facility planning happens, not Friday afternoons when everything gets buried. AI cold calling added a direct touchpoint for larger property management companies, using brief scripts focused on preventative maintenance ROI. LinkedIn outreach engaged property managers with content relevant to facility operations and vendor management. The approach generated 17 qualified leads and closed 3 new property contracts in two months, accounts that represent recurring revenue, not one-time service calls.
