Enhanced content, also known as rich media on Walmart, helps brands stand out on the digital shelf. Comparatively few brands actually deploy enhanced content, and those that do usually don’t cover much of their product catalog. This holds true regardless of the product category.
Brands that use enhanced content not only present product pages that stand out to consumers, but they can also see a 10% average lift in sales, according to Salsify’s internal data. Additionally, 35% of the top 10% of products on Walmart use rich media — versus the bottom 10% of products, which only use it 6% of the time.
Enhanced content can help you capture substantial market share and stand out against your competition.
Here is a list of the top brands, many of which use Salsify Enhanced Content, with the most enhanced content coverage on Walmart by category, with examples of how they use it effectively online. These brands typically have anywhere from five to 20 times more enhanced content than the category average.
