Think back to the early days of online shopping. You’d click on a product and see a few lines of text and maybe—if you were lucky—a small image. That was product content. And for a while, it worked. But today? That just doesn’t cut it.
Consumers now expect more than a basic description. They want to see how a product works, fits, looks, and feels—before it ever hits their doorstep. As e-commerce has grown, so has the demand for richer, more interactive content—and enhanced content has become one of the most powerful tools for brands looking to win on the digital shelf.
So how did we get here—and where is product content headed next?
From Bullet Points to Immersive Product Stories
In the early e-commerce era, content creation was entirely manual. Teams wrote basic copy for each SKU and uploaded static images—one product at a time. It was a slow, tedious process that made scaling product catalogs a real challenge.
Then came rich media—videos, 360° spins, comparison charts, lifestyle images. This ushered in a new phase: Enhanced Content. No longer just informational, product pages became experiential. Shoppers could explore how a product works, compare features, and envision how it fits into their life.
And it worked: brands that embraced enhanced content began seeing real results—longer time on page, more conversions, and fewer returns.
The AI Era: Creating Content Faster and Smarter
Today, we’ve entered a new chapter—one powered by Generative AI. Brands can now generate SEO-friendly descriptions, product highlights, and image recommendations in minutes. AI isn’t replacing human creativity—it’s scaling it. It allows teams to A/B test at speed, localize content, and personalize experiences based on shopper behavior. Nearly 60% of consumers are already using AI tools to help make shopping decisions, bypassing traditional search engines in favor of smarter, more personalized recommendations.
But here’s the thing: richer content is only powerful if it’s accurate, on-brand, and consistently delivered across every channel. That’s where strategy—and the right technology—makes all the difference.
