Regains control of the Amazon marketplace and takes meaningful category share in under eight months

B'laster entered late 2025 with almost no direct selling presence on its own listings and a clear goal to take back control of a growing channel. Dozens of resellers owned the brand's sales, and duplicate listings, rogue bundles, and outdated packaging left shoppers confused across competing detail pages.

Odyssey built a roadmap to reclaim that ground, combining reseller identification, duplicate merging, Brand Registry enforcement, and variation optimization with a scaled advertising push and a content refresh. B'laster owned 0% of its brand's Amazon sales at the start of the engagement and an estimated 59% by September 2026.

Opportunity

B'laster is a penetrating catalyst and lubricant business competing directly against the category's top brands. Despite being the brand owner, B'laster Holdings held almost none of the direct seller share on its own listings at the start of the engagement, with more than 85 sellers offering B'laster products.

Resellers controlled all of the sales, so B'laster was losing margin, pricing control, and content control on the detail pages carrying its name. A fragmented search results page made the problem worse, with duplicate listings, rogue bundles, and outdated packaging creating internal competition and a confusing shopper experience.

Approach

Odyssey structured the plan so that control and cleanup came first, and advertising scaled once the listings were ready for traffic.

  • Diagnosed the fragmentation. The team catalogued roughly 545 third-party ASINs and sorted them by issue type: exact duplicates, disguised duplicates, rogue bundles, and legitimately different products. Each type received its own enforcement path.
    ‍
  • Built daily visibility. A monitoring tool flagged Buy Box changes, listing suppression, and new sellers as they appeared, letting the team act early and identify the resellers competing most persistently against B'laster's listings.
    ‍
  • Consolidated scattered listings. Odyssey merged duplicate ASINs into the official B'laster listings, which combined reviews and pulled scattered demand back onto pages the brand controlled.
    ‍
  • Ran enforcement on a documented cadence. The team filed hundreds of Seller Central merge requests and Brand Registry infringement cases against unauthorized sellers, building a documented record of violations.
    ‍
  • Rebuilt the listing foundation. Odyssey refreshed copy, imagery, and A+ content across the catalog and created 15 variation groupings covering every active product, replacing inconsistent naming and broken variations.
    ‍
  • Scaled advertising to take share. With listings consolidated, the team layered on Sponsored Products and Sponsored Brands, weighting spend toward competitor and non-branded terms to win share of voice against the category leaders.

Impact & Results

Over eight months, B'laster went from almost no presence on its own listings to majority control of its sales, pricing, Buy Box, and content. The brand grew from a single SKU selling under its own account to 21 and cut the number of resellers on its products from more than 85 to fewer than 35. Owning the shelf let B'laster compete on paid search against the category's top players, growing its impression share on the top competitor's branded keyword from 0.40% to 9.88% between January and July 2026. Its share of the Industrial Lubricants category grew from 2% to 4.9% over six months, and revenue and orders grew sharply as the brand expanded its assortment and scaled sponsored ads. B'laster is now focused on sustaining marketplace control while moving its advertising toward a full-funnel approach that drives awareness and demand.
