Brainiac Foods is a snack pouch and vitamin brand that prioritizes brain booster nutrients, such as Omega-3’s and Choline. Developed with the help of pediatricians, neurologists, and nutritionists, Brainiac Foods offers a healthy snack assortment that includes:

  • Brain boosting applesauce pouches
  • Gummies & supplements for both adults and kids
  • Fruit snacks with brain fuel
  • Whole grain brain bars

Brainiac Foods wanted to grow into the toddler pouches category on Amazon under the name “Little Brainiac,” hoping to expand their product assortment while disrupting the category and growing sales as a result. Partnering with Brandwoven since 2022, we worked with Brainiac Foods to launch new toddler pouches on Amazon that became product category disruptors and grew the brand’s ordered revenue multiple years in a row.

How We Launched the New Products on Amazon

Although Brainiac Foods had a number of other successful Amazon products, they didn’t have any active products in the toddler pouches category specifically. Therefore, our main challenge was determining how to create brand traction in the new toddler pouches Amazon product category.

Brainiac partnered with Brandwoven to leverage the knowledge and experience of our CPG Account Director who, prior to joining Brandwoven, led a successful Amazon business for a leading baby food brand. In partnership with Brainiac’s Chief Commercial Officer, Tina White, we were able to leverage this Kids & Baby Amazon category expertise to better understand the competitive landscape and target audience.

Through consultation and recurring meetings between the Brandwoven and Brainiac teams, we developed steps for a successful product launch that would get consumers’ eyes to the new Little Brainiac toddler pouches and disrupt the Amazon category, leading to impressive year-over-year sales growth for the brand.

To prepare for a successful Little Brainiac toddler pouches product launch on Amazon, Brandwoven completed the following on behalf of the Brainiac Foods brand:

  • Amazon product category research
  • SEO keyword research
  • Built product page content
  • Audited competitor listings
  • Reviewed ingredients to highlight on the product page (eg: fruit, veggie, and oat toddler pouches)
  • Advised on all digital merchandising creative including listing images, brand story, A+ Content, and the brand’s store in Amazon
  • Wrote all product page copy with a focus on informing consumers of the brain boosting ingredients in easy-to-understand titles and bullet points

Conducting SEO Research

To ensure that the Little Brainiac toddler pouches were positioned for success on Amazon, Brandwoven spent hours researching the category and other competitor listings. We audited competitors and analyzed SEO terms to find high-volume opportunities to target on the new Little Brainiac product pages, including:

  • Competitor product titles
  • Which competitor brands owned the most share of shelf
  • How much revenue competitors were making within the Amazon product category
  • Which keyword phrases customers were using to discover similar products
  • Which search terms had the highest volume

Brandwoven utilized a series of tech tools to conduct this product research, including Helium 10, Keepa, and Pacvue.

How Brainiac Foods Differentiated Products with Brain Boosting Supplements

To effectively enter the new toddler pouches category under the Little Brainiac name, the brand needed to set themselves apart from competitors that already dominated the space on Amazon. Brandwoven focused on highlighting the brain boosting supplements specifically for toddlers that were found within the Little Brainiac food pouches.

Little Brainiac’s pouches specifically targeted toddlers (1 year+) while other available food pouches were designed for a wider age range (ready to start solids to older kids). This gave Little Brainiac a unique opportunity to focus on toddlers’ nutritional needs specifically. As a result, the new Little Brainiac organic fruit and veggie pouches showcased the included brain boosting nutrients for toddlers, notably Omega-3s and Choline.

Amazon Product Launch Content Focused on Consumer Education

Brandwoven showcased the differentiation of unique ingredients that targeted the Little Brainiac consumer audience through compelling listing images and explanatory product bullet points and descriptions. Our goal was to capture consumers’ attention while also educating them on the product’s brain boosting supplements and benefits.

We focused on copy that informed shoppers about the health impact to purchasing Little Brainiac for their toddlers. Product benefits, especially the brain boosting health benefits, were highlighted in an easy-to-digest manner through:

  • Consistent Little Brainiac branding (colors, icons, etc.)
  • Educational images that showed nutritional facts and amounts per serving
  • Amazon brand story that mentioned awards and certifications earned by Brainiac Foods
  • Product descriptions that mentioned sustainability efforts
  • Visually informative content that addressed customers’ potential questions and concerns
  • Ingredients list and directions for opening the toddler pouches

Disrupting Category Competitors with Amazon A+ Content

In addition to creating the new Amazon product images and brand story for the Little Brainiac toddler pouches, Brandwoven also developed A+ Content to maximize brand presence on the detail page.

We approached the A+ Content design in a way that would be the most beneficial to Little Brainiac consumers. This meant a deeper focus on:

  • Lifestyle photos showcasing the product in use, featuring toddlers holding and eating from the new brain boosting pouches
  • Different ingredients and flavors available for purchase (product variations)
  • Brain boosting supplements included in the pouches and what makes them so beneficial for toddlers specifically
  • Shoppable comparison charts that conveniently noted similarities and differences across various Brainiac products, guiding customers into a purchase decision

Adding Little Brainiac to the Brand Store in Amazon

The last step to launching the new Little Brainiac toddler pouches was ensuring they were properly highlighted on the brand’s Amazon store.

After the Little Brainiac product page content was complete, Brandwoven added a “Little Brainiac” shopping tab onto the brand’s Amazon store to help with discoverability and easing the shopping experience for existing Brainiac customers – before they even landed on the listing page.

Similar to our approach with the Amazon A+ Content, the Little Brainiac brand store page was built with a focus on serving sizes, ingredients, and the following:

  • Various Little Brainiac products available for purchase
  • Images of the pouches placed next to a toddler’s typical lunchtime meal, showing easy implementation
  • Brand story and quotes from the Brainiac founders
  • Key messaging statements that reiterated the importance of adding the product into a toddler’s diet

Disrupting the Amazon Toddler Pouches Category with Additional Little Brainiac Products

The Little Brainiac toddler pouches helped Brainiac Foods enter a new Amazon category and grow product revenue. The impact of the successful launch also extended into additional toddler pouch options available for purchase under the brand name.

Little Brainiac started off launching fruit and veggie pouches on Amazon that had flavors of apple, spinach, carrot, and pumpkin. After initial success, Brainiac Foods later expanded its Little Brainiac product assortment with a new breakfast blend. The new breakfast pouches included flavors like banana, oat, berry, peach, and apple. As a result, the Little Brainiac pouches weren’t just a good snack or lunchtime addition but could be implemented into toddlers’ breakfast meals as well. This easy addition into another mealtime meant more product revenue and cart add-ons from existing Little Brainiac customers.
