At Ecomclips, we recently helped a consumable brand scale from 35 daily orders to 106 orders per day in only six months — and the growth continues.
This success didn’t come from luck; it came from data-driven PPC management, AI-powered keyword research, split-tested main images, and optimized A+ content. These are the strategies brands must use in 2025 to stay ahead of competitors. In this blog, we’ll break down the exact steps we followed — strategies you can apply to your own business to grow sales profitably and sustainably.

The Power of the Main Image: Your First Impression
On Amazon, your main product image is the true gatekeeper to sales. No matter how optimized your title, bullets, or A+ content are, none of it matters if buyers don’t click in the first place. Think of your main image as your storefront window — if it doesn’t catch attention, shoppers will simply scroll past. In 2025, with competition tougher than ever and ads dominating search results, having a click-worthy main image is no longer optional, it’s essential. Amazon has also tightened image compliance rules, so sellers need to balance creativity with compliance to stand out while avoiding policy violations.
Why Your Main Image Matters
- First Impression = Clicks or Lost Traffic
Your main image is the very first thing shoppers see in search results. A strong, eye-catching photo compels clicks, while a weak or dull image gets ignored. - Direct Impact on CTR (Click-Through Rate)
A more engaging main image leads to higher CTR. More clicks mean more traffic to your listing without increasing ad spend. - Traffic Converts to Sales
Once shoppers land on your listing, you have the chance to convert them into buyers. No clicks = no sales opportunity. - Amazon 2025 Updates on Images
Amazon has become stricter about image backgrounds (pure white), text overlays, and compliance with product visibility. At the same time, sellers can now use AI-generated enhanced secondary images for lifestyle and infographics. But the main image must remain clean and compliant. - Mobile Shopping Growth
Over 70% of Amazon traffic comes from mobile in 2025. This means your main image needs to be clear, zoom-friendly, and optimized for small screens. - Split Testing is Essential
Amazon now allows Manage Your Experiments (MYE) to split test different main images. Data-driven testing helps you identify which image attracts the highest clicks.
5 Amazon Main Image Mistakes Killing Your Sales (And How to Fix Them)
PPC Campaigns: The Engine That Drives Visibility
Amazon has truly become a pay-to-play marketplace. Today, more than 50% of first-page visibility is dominated by ads, making it nearly impossible to rely on organic rankings alone. Without PPC campaigns, most shoppers won’t even discover your product. But success doesn’t come from just running ads, it comes from how well you analyze, optimize, and refine them. In 2025, with rising competition and higher CPCs, smart PPC management is the difference between wasting money and building a profitable brand.
At Ecomclips, we constantly refine campaigns by:

We continuously refine bids and budgets to balance visibility with profitability, ensuring every dollar spent works harder. - Keyword Optimization

Turning Ad Data into Action
Every single click, view, and purchase on Amazon creates valuable data — but most sellers stop at just looking at the numbers. At Ecomclips, we go beyond observation; we turn data into action.
Search Term Reports provide sellers with clear insights into what shoppers are actually typing into the Amazon search bar before they click or purchase. This helps identify which keywords are truly generating sales and which ones are only draining ad spend. By analyzing this data, sellers can add profitable terms as exact or phrase match keywords, while removing poor-performing ones by setting them as negatives.
Brand Analytics and Search Query Reports go a step further by showing how shoppers behave throughout their search journey. These reports highlight which search terms drive the most impressions, clicks, and conversions, and also reveal where potential buyers drop off before completing a purchase. They even provide insights into competitor traffic and conversion share, giving brands a chance to adjust their strategy and win more visibility.
Ads Console Data works like the control center for all Amazon campaigns. It tracks ad performance in real-time, including impressions, clicks, CTR, and ACoS, so sellers can make smarter decisions on bids and budgets. This data also guides the testing of new ad formats like Sponsored Brands, Sponsored Display, or video ads, and helps refine creatives such as images, copy, or videos to boost engagement.
But here’s the real edge — we don’t limit these insights to PPC campaigns alone. We use them to transform listings, images, and content, making products more relevant and attractive to the right audience.
This holistic approach ensures that data not only lowers ad costs but also boosts conversions across the entire listing.
Ad Data + Listing Optimization = Profit Growth
When it comes to scaling on Amazon, ads can bring traffic, but it’s your listing that converts it into sales. Many sellers make the mistake of only focusing on PPC campaigns while ignoring the quality of their product detail pages. The truth is, ad data is a goldmine of shopper insights — it tells you exactly what customers search for, what makes them click, and what makes them bounce. By combining this data with strategic listing optimization, you don’t just get more traffic, you get the right traffic that converts profitably. This is where true growth happens — when your ads and listings work together as one system.
Examples of how we apply data-driven changes:
- Split-testing main images.
- Updating secondary images to match shopper intent.
- Refreshing A+ content and brand story.
- Tweaking titles and bullet points to align with real search terms.
The Formula to Scaling Amazon Brands in 2025
Scaling an Amazon brand in 2025 doesn’t happen by chance — it follows a proven, repeatable process. At Ecomclips, we’ve refined this method across hundreds of brands, and the formula is both simple and powerful. The key is not just running ads or tweaking listings but creating a continuous cycle of data-driven improvements. Here’s how the process works in detail:
- Run Smart PPC Campaigns to Maximize Visibility
Amazon is now a pay-to-play platform, where over half of page-one results are ads. Smart PPC campaigns ensure your product is consistently seen by the right shoppers, giving your listing the visibility it needs to compete. - Collect Data from Every Click, View, and Sale
Every impression, click, or purchase generates valuable data. This data tells us what’s working and what isn’t, revealing customer intent, wasted spend, and hidden opportunities. - Use Insights to Refine Both Ads and Listings
Instead of only adjusting campaigns, we take ad insights and apply them directly to main images, titles, bullets, and A+ content. This ensures listings stay relevant to what shoppers are actively searching for. - Make Material Changes, Not Minor Tweaks
The secret is in significant, data-backed updates — split-testing main images, rewriting copy to match buyer language, or redesigning A+ content. These shifts deliver meaningful results, not small lifts. - Keep Testing and Optimizing Consistently
Scaling isn’t about one-time fixes. It’s about creating a cycle of constant improvement, where PPC performance fuels listing optimization and optimized listings improve PPC performance.
That’s the formula: PPC + Data + Listing Optimization = Profitable Growth.
This dual approach (ads + listings) is how we helped over 100 brands grow — including scaling one from 35 orders to 106 orders per day in just 6 months.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1. Why is the main product image so important on Amazon?
Your main image is the first impression buyers see in search results. If it doesn’t stand out, shoppers won’t click — no matter how optimized your listing is. A strong main image increases clicks, traffic, and ultimately sales.
Q2. What are the new Amazon image updates for 2025?
Amazon is stricter about compliance — main images must have a pure white background, no text overlays, and clear visibility of the product. Sellers can now use AI-generated lifestyle or infographic secondary images, but the primary image must remain compliant.
Q3. Is Amazon PPC still worth it in 2025?
Yes. Over 50% of page-one results are ads, making PPC essential. The key is smart PPC management adjusting bids, optimizing keywords, and testing creatives to balance visibility with profitability.
Q4. How do ad reports help improve listings?
Ad data (search term reports, brand analytics, query performance) shows what shoppers search, click, or ignore. These insights help refine not only PPC campaigns but also listings, images, titles, and A+ content for better conversions.
Q5. Can I grow my brand with PPC alone?
No. PPC brings traffic, but your listing converts traffic into sales. The most successful brands combine ad optimization with listing improvements (images, copy, A+ content) for profitable growth.
Q6. What’s an example of data-driven listing optimization?
If ads show strong clicks for “desktop wooden phone holder” but weak for “travel wooden phone holder,” the issue is shopper perception. By adding travel-focused images and keywords, you attract new buyers without changing the product.
Q7. How long does it take to see results from this strategy?
Results vary, but many brands see growth within weeks. In one case, Ecomclips scaled a consumable brand from 35 daily orders to 106 per day in just 6 months using this exact strategy.
