A sales system by category
- 835 SKUs, about 600 of them on sale
- Stock in the company’s own warehouse
- An Ozon store already running
- Revenue ≈ ₽300–340K a month
The hard part: each category has its own sales logic and its own competition. One card template doesn’t work, and wrong positioning means zero sales.
- A common strategy across categories
- Strong product cards and SEO
- Different USPs for different products: discs ≠ trimmer line
- Systematic work with ads, traffic and conversion
Analytics and strategy

- Own offers, messages and triggers for each category
USP by category
- Diamond discs — cut quality, lifetime, materials

- Hand tools — reliability and comfort
SEO and cards
- Titles and descriptions for each category’s query groups
- Cards for home users and for semi-pros
Visuals

- Out of the deep search results, higher visibility
- Conversion up without cutting prices
- October 2025 — ₽1,400,401, ×3.6 vs the start
- November 2025 — ₽2,061,347, ×5.3 vs the start
Profit over turnover

Results in numbers.
What worked.
Discs, trimmer line and hand tools sell differently: one card template doesn’t work, and wrong positioning means zero sales.
Strong cards and SEO pulled products out of the deep search results and lifted conversion without cutting prices.
The work has gone on for over a year: cards are maintained constantly and the range keeps growing.
When turnover dropped in the summer, cost control held the profit: revenue −27%, profit only −10%, profitability up to 14%.
