281% Higher Q4 Revenue by Fixing Compliance Before Peak Season
Year over year, Medicrystal grew Q4 revenue from $528.5K to $2.01M while cutting ACOS from 39% to 25% and lifting organic sales from 47% to 67% of the total.
The brand
MediCrystal makes premium heating pads for people who want more from at-home comfort. Adjustable heat settings, built-in safety controls, extra-large coverage, and stone-based heating technology come together in a category that peaks through the colder months and the holiday gifting season.
Sellonics onboarded Medicrystal in July 2025, ahead of the Q4 peak. Q3 was used to rebuild the advertising and listing foundation; Q4 was used to scale investment behind demand already proven in Q3.

The Challenges
Seasonal opportunity was underused.
The product had strong Q4 potential, but the account lacked the structure to turn demand into scalable growth.
Advertising had no growth system.
Campaigns were unstructured, spend was leaking, and there was no clear framework to scale profitably into peak season.
The account leaned too hard on paid.
Organic sales were only 47% of total revenue, leaving the brand exposed to rising ad costs at peak.
Efficiency capped how far spending could go.
ACOS sat at 39% and TACOS at 20%, leaving headroom to scale spend profitably.
The listing was not conversion-ready.
Positioning and conversion assets needed strengthening to hold conversion as peak traffic climbed.
Compliance issues put listings at risk.
During onboarding, a large share of listings were flagged as at risk of suppression, threatening to pull revenue offline right before peak season.
There was a short runway before the peak.
Onboarding in July 2025 left limited time to build the advertising and listing foundation before demand accelerated.
Our Approach
Phase 1 — Q3 2025: Build the foundation before peak season
Compliance & Listing Health
- Resolved the compliance flags across the account, bringing at-risk listings back to a compliant, healthy state.
- Reinstated affected listings and secured the catalogue so revenue was protected heading into the Q4 peak.
Advertising Management
- Audited existing ad campaigns to eliminate wasted spend and restructure them for profitability.
- Implemented a systematic approach to bid and keyword management to control ACOS and improve ad efficiency.
- Identified the highest-return search terms early, so budget could be concentrated where demand was already proven.
Defensive Advertising
- Found no defensive campaigns in place, leaving competitors free to advertise on their own branded search terms.
- Built defensive coverage across the branded terms that drive 20% of total revenue, protecting that revenue from competitor conquesting.
- Reached 80% page coverage on branded search terms, keeping the brand front and centre when high-intent shoppers searched by name.
Listing & Conversion
- Refined the listing content and buying journey so shoppers could understand the product value faster.
- Strengthened positioning and conversion assets to hold conversion as traffic increased into peak season.
Promotions & Demand Recovery
- Activated reorder coupons and cart-abandoner discounts to recover missed demand and drive repeat purchases.
- Built early momentum ahead of the seasonal rush so the account entered Q4 with proven traction.
Phase 2 — Q4 2025: Peak-season scale
Strategic Scaling and Holiday Readiness
- With a stable foundation, the focus shifted to strategic scaling in preparation for the critical Q4 holiday season.
Advertising Management
- Shifted budget toward the demand already validated in Q3, rather than testing broadly during the busiest months.
- Monitored spend and efficiency daily to remove waste and protect profitability as competition rose.
Organic Growth & Ranking
- Protected visibility on the top-converting keywords so paid traffic supported rank and organic sales grew as a share of revenue.
Conversion & Promotions
- Aligned seasonal promotions, listing improvements, and budget pacing to capture peak traffic without sacrificing ACOS or TACOS.
Inventory Management
- Watched stock coverage closely to keep top-performing products available through the highest-demand weeks of Q4.
