OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Sitruna - Amazon Experts?

We hired Sitruna - Amazon Experts for Seller Central communication and troubleshooting. We had difficulty dealing with problems that arose, such as lost inventory, changing product categories, listings, and variation amalgamations. At the start of our Amazon journey we also used Sitruna for listing optimisation and PPC.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Michael (Founder) kindly took a meeting with me several years ago and provided valuable guidance on an issue which were facing, which I put into action and resolved the situation. This was to do with an account suspension. A few years later, when working on another brand, I involved Sitruna at early stages to optimise, manage PPC and troubleshoot.

What is the team composition?

We generally work with two teammates from Sitruna - Amazon Experts.

How did you come to work with Sitruna - Amazon Experts?

We found them online. I was advised that they knew what they were talking about by another outside source.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Thanks to Sitruna - Amazon Experts’ work, we’ve seen an increase in revenue and sales in the first year of business. The keyword and bullet point optimizations drove sales forward. We also use Sitruna - Amazon Experts for troubleshooting, which took the stress and worry of dealing with Seller Central off my hands.

How did Sitruna - Amazon Experts perform from a project management standpoint?

Project management is great. Sitruna - Amazon Experts delivers on time and responds well to our needs.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

In December 2022, we were unsure whether we wanted to continue our business owing to difficult conditions caused by Brexit, price rises, more competition on Amazon and so on. However, after discussions with Sitruna in January 2023, we realised that one thing we hadn't explored was working with a specialised company with personal expertise and know-how that might truly make a difference. We joined up with Sitruna after a comforting sales call, with clear aims of increasing sales and profit and establishing the groundwork in time for our busy season. Unfortunately, we had no idea we'd still be conducting test campaigns in September '23. We are a small team and hiring PPC experts was the right step. 
This was not an area we had been involved before hence guidance from Sitruna was critical. We were upfront about this. We were an established player on Amazon and had been selling our range of exclusive products since 2009, however selling on Amazon was so different and assistance was required. It was explained results would be seen after 3-4 months as data gathering and laying the foundations were important. We understood this and we were patient as we thought all was in good hands and being managed by a professional and reputable company in the industry. 
We had high expectations to see improvements by partnering with Sitruna and growing it with the intention to sell. Multiple emails were sent where we raised the costs and spend and proposed to discuss on phone but answers on emails would follow with an explanation. I often felt bad for asking so many questions but I had little choice because this was not my area of expertise. This was their domain and what they were recruited to accomplish, therefore we had expected them to be in command. 
In fact, we believed that if it took this long, we should begin the process of having them to handle our EU and US accounts, so we revised our package after two months to allow for better optimisation so that everything would be in place by September. This was ALL financed by us personally and not our company with the expectation of increasing sales and profit in our busiest time of the year – September onwards. When they stated they were still testing and gathering words etc that really disappointed us and we were lost for words. What had happened in the previous 9 months? Alongside monthly fees across 5 marketplaces and advertising spend we had spent A LOT of money with Sitruna. 
We were then assigned a new team, new PPC targets and campaigns, a request for COGs and we are told we must wait and see how the situation unfolds. This calls into doubt all of the time spent on the account till that date. We felt let down and our account being mismanaged. This is NOT what we signed up for, and I believe it would have lasted for the remainder of the year if I hadn't continually asked so many questions.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

It was not a success as the project ceased to continue in Q4

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Insufficiently.

What was your primary form of communication with Sitruna - Amazon Experts?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

At the end we were not impressed at all.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Sitruna - Amazon Experts could have done differently?

After 16 years in business, our anticipation for 2023 was high, particularly with Sitruna joining our team. Since January 23, we had diligently laid the groundwork for what we hoped would be a standout year. Unfortunately, Sitruna fell short of our expectations. Despite their tenure and purported expertise in eCommerce, we didn't witness the promised proficiency in listing optimization or PPC strategies crucial for expanding market share, outpacing competitors, and optimizing ROI on Amazon. Regrettably, our journey into 2024 hasn't unfolded as envisioned.

Company Responses

The vendor responded on Jun 27, 2024.
Firstly, thanks for sharing this feedback with us - we're very sorry to hear about your experience. We prioritise providing opportunities for client feedback (the good, the bad and the ugly!) throughout client partnerships and during the off-boarding process.

We designed the new Sitruna Profitability Dashboard last year to provide greater insight into net profits that aren't provided via Seller Central - this led to the additional data requests and fed into evolving your strategy through organic improvements and testing new ad campaigns.

As Brand Owners ourselves, we can completely empathise with the stress that ensues when things don't go as expected – 30% year-on-year growth but no drop in ad spend. We would very much appreciate the chance to have a conversation to hear some more detailed feedback on your experience/how we can improve. We'll reach out directly to arrange this.

Hope to speak with you soon

What was the team composition?

I can work very closely with the director, our account manager and our support contact. I have various contacts within Sitruna whom I can email and expect a response within 12 hours usually less.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Sitruna utilised our budget on ad spend per sales (TACoS) highly effectively. We had not spent any PPC before hiring them, and therefore with their efforts on various advertising campaigns our PPC sales skyrocketed. Our Organic sales then grew with the effects of their other work on brand and product page development. They 5x our results in their first full year (2021) compared to our previous year without any ad efforts.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

We communicate over email almost daily. Whenever a zoom call is required they are very welcoming and would set it up for the same day if needed. It's a very effective and smooth workflow between myself and their team.
