Commerce Content is 7X Bigger Than Branded Content

Commerce content is seven times bigger than branded content.

For premium publishers, COMMERCE CONTENT is at least 7X bigger than BRANDED CONTENT in volume terms.

In fact, many publish 30 or even 50 commerce content articles to every branded content equivalent.

A typical commerce article is 2000 words and features 10 products from 7 brands linking to 12 retailers, but can range from 1 to 150+ products depending on the article type.


Fashion & Style leads the way with 27% of commerce content, followed by Home & Garden (21%) and Beauty & Grooming (15%), though thousands of articles can also be found on less obvious sectors like travel, automotive and finance.


With full backdata from Jan 1st this year, hundreds of new articles analysed and added daily, plus paid social posts, Contalto's Commerce Content Intelligence service is uniquely able to quantify the size and shape of the dynamic publisher commerce marketplace. 


After covering 110 US and UK publishers at launch, we are progressively adding many more and will expand the service to other markets.

"Commerce content is far more strategic, topical and informative than it's sometimes given credit for. It's also mind-blowing in its breadth and depth, guiding purchases from a $10 pair of socks to a $100K pair of HiFi speakers."
