Scaling Beyond Amazon: How Buddha Board Grew Revenue Without Sacrificing ROAS
Buddha Board, a unique mindfulness and creativity product inspired by the Zen idea of living in the moment, allows users to paint with water and watch their designs come to life. After building a strong presence on Amazon, Buddha Board aimed to expand its reach and drive even greater revenue growth. They partnered with Pilothouse to scale strategically while preserving a strong return on ad spend.
From Core Keywords to Holiday Sales: Building a Full-Funnel Amazon Strategy

We began by conducting extensive keyword research, identifying relevant search terms that directly aligned with Buddha Board’s core product use. Once we established a strong foundation, we systematically expanded into new keyword niches, testing broader applications of the product such as mindfulness, stress relief, and others.
Throughout Q4, we focused heavily on seasonal opportunities, identifying high-intent shopping behaviors and tailoring our strategy accordingly. We optimized campaigns by incorporating holiday-themed creatives and custom ad copy, ensuring maximum visibility during peak shopping periods. Additionally, we leveraged Sponsored Brand campaigns to reinforce brand presence and capitalize on proven keyword segments.
