More Than Nostalgia, More Sales
Following UGC video deployment on selected ASINs, weekly revenue more than doubled while the listing captured a healthier, more organic-driven sales mix.
A stable listing, plateaued on paid traffic
Following the implementation of UGC (User-Generated Content) videos on selected ASINs, Woodstock Candy observed a significant performance uplift. Total weekly revenue grew by over 112%, while listing efficiency improved through an increased organic sales share and a lifted conversion rate.
Woodstock Candy aimed to drive higher engagement and trust on their Amazon listings by introducing UGC videos. The goal was to provide shoppers with relatable video content that demonstrates product value — leading to faster purchase decisions and stronger organic ranking.
Four takeaways from the UGC video launch
Revenue Growth
Average weekly total sales increased from $2,408.76 to $5,127.59 — a +112.87% uplift after UGC videos were introduced.
Paid + Organic Efficiency
PPC sales rose in absolute terms, but PPC’s share of total sales fell from 39.90% to 32.59%, meaning listings captured a larger share of sales organically.
Higher Conversion Readiness
Conversion rate improved from 11.56% to 12.25%, indicating the new creative assets helped shoppers make purchase decisions more confidently.
Clear Attribution Window
With images uploaded only 2–3 days prior and A+ Content not yet live, the improvement in this window is best attributed to UGC videos.
Before vs. after the UGC video launch
