The Challenge

A brand-new SKU nobody trusted.

The product launched with zero reviews and a 0.6% conversion rate — a fraction of what the category needs. Shoppers had no reason to choose it over established listings with hundreds of reviews.

In a trust-driven category, a new SKU without social proof simply does not convert. The listing needed review velocity fast, plus answers to the questions that were quietly killing purchases.

  • Brand-new SKU with zero reviews.
  • Conversion stuck at 0.6% — far below category norms.
  • Competing against listings with hundreds of reviews.
  • Unanswered buyer questions blocking purchases.

Our Strategy

Build trust fast, convert fast.

We focused everything on the one thing a new SKU needs most in month one: credible social proof that converts.

Listing Optimization

Conversion-focused rework of copy and imagery before driving traffic.

Photo-Rich Review Cadence

A steady stream of verified, photo-rich reviews that convert better than text.

Q&A Engagement

Answered the buyer questions that were removing purchase hesitation.

Conversion Tracking

Monitored conversion daily to tune the cadence as reviews accumulated.

Key Takeaways

What made it work.

Photo-rich reviews convert better than text-only social proof.

Q&A engagement removes purchase hesitation fast.

New SKUs need review velocity in month one to compete.

Verified reviews strengthen trust and improve purchase decisions.

Going from 0.6% to 5.4% conversion in one month felt impossible for a brand-new listing. The review cadence made all the difference.
