Digital advertising spend has only risen significantly from its inception. Infact, the growth trajectory records growth per quarter in addition to the obvious YOY growth. Digital Commerce, E-commerce Media etc are a few new terms that often relate digital advertising with existing retail models and analyse the trends and enhancements within the current landscape.
Speaking of which, a term that’s gaining prominence in today’s time is Commerce Media.
So, What is Commerce Media and how is it different then?
Let’s attempt to answer the above question by defining Commerce Media first.
Quoting Criteo, the term Commerce Media is defined as
“A new approach to digital advertising that combines commerce data and intelligence to target consumers throughout their shopping journey and help marketers and media owners drive commerce outcomes (sales, revenue, leads)”
On a wider scale, Commerce Media is the collection and the use of relevant data from gauging consideration and purchase intent of your audience and using that information to drive commerce and relevance. Brands can create a personable and powerful platform to drive real ROI and reach a larger audience.
An interesting point to note is that the benefit is not limited to only marketeers of products/brands. Commerce Media allows for publishers, advertisers, and other stakeholders to position themselves to drive commerce media.
For example, making inventory available in multiple formats, dimensions that are attractive, advertising on platforms that have a higher reach for selected segments, brands advertising attractive products & offers etc!
