Background

Cocokind is a clean beauty brand focused on plant-based ingredients. By the time they approached Cartograph, cocokind was already well-established with strong sales and distribution in major retailers like Target, Ulta, and Whole Foods, along with a healthy direct-to-consumer website presence.

The Job

Cocokind began their Amazon presence in July 2021 but faced challenges with performance, including a 50% Buy Box percentage, disjointed 3PL coordination, and frequent out-of-stocks. As other channels scaled, it was time to focus on improving their Amazon strategy.
