With the market value of the e-commerce industry in India estimated to reach $350 billion by 2030, we have been challenged by our partners to find out if rich content is just as effective in India as it is within the rest of the global Flixmedia network.
Working with leading e-commerce retailers in India, particularly within the consumer electronics sector, Flixmedia carried out A:B (on vs off) testing of rich content for various brands and products sold online.
We observed an impressive average uptick in conversion (Add-to-Cart/ATC) of 9.4% when rich content was activated on product pages, further demonstrating that visual and informative product content helps bring product pages to life, giving shoppers the confidence to purchase online. Our recent A:B testing also demonstrated that rich content, delivered via Flixmedia, boosts ATC rates by an average of 9.4%; uplift is delivered consistently across various electronics categories on offer:
Our analysts also discovered that price was a key driver in the overall impact of rich content: rich content was 3 times more effective on products above ₹50,000 ($600). A greater spend online naturally requires greater consideration and persuasion, which rich content can provide; we were astonished at the steeper impact of persuasive rich content on premium products. With premium content as a priority, we trust that brands and retailers will be able to use this insight to continue to serve their top-end products.
Content position in the page was identified as another influence on the ATC uplift: retailers that place Flix content higher in the page enjoy up to double the rate uplift, compared to sites which place the content lower in the page or behind tabs. It is therefore essential that retailers showcase brand content prominently in the page to maximise its impact.
Karan Gupta, Director at Vijay Sales:
“We are delighted to have integrated rich content in-line with our product descriptions.
