🔍 Intriguing Data Alert: E-commerce Ad Layouts Unveiled! 📊 As we approach Prime Day, I wanted to share some data on ad layouts across major e-commerce platforms. This could be a game-changer for your commerce media strategies. I took a look at page layouts for Coffee non-branded keywords over the last month to determine what % of the page were sponsored placements (specifically above the fold). Key Findings: • Amazon leads with 89.51% paid content above the fold. This leaves so little room for organic visibility at the top of the page. • Walmart follows at 61.56% • Traditional grocers (Kroger, Giant Eagle, Meijer) keep it under 11% What does this mean for your brand? 1️⃣ Platform-Specific Strategies are Crucial With such diverse approaches to ad space, your media strategy needs to be tailored for each platform. One size definitely doesn't fit all! 2️⃣ Above the Fold is Prime Real Estate On Amazon and Walmart, securing above-the-fold placements could significantly boost visibility. But be prepared for fierce competition, especially during events like Prime Day. You basically can't be seen at the top of the page unless you buy some ads! 3️⃣ Don't Overlook Traditional Grocers Their conservative ad load approach means less clutter. Your ads could stand out more, potentially offering better ROI if your target audience shops there. 4️⃣ Prime Day Game Plan With Amazon's aggressive ad layout, standing out during Prime Day will be challenging. Consider: • Boosting bids for top placements (placement multipliers) • Leveraging other platforms where competition might be less intense (cross-shopping behavior) • Creating Prime Day-specific content to capture attention quickly 5️⃣ Long-Tail Opportunity Platforms with less ad saturation (like Target or Instacart) might offer opportunities to capture long-tail searches more cost-effectively. Remember: The best strategy balances visibility, cost, and audience behavior across platforms. What's your take on this data? How are you adapting your strategy for Prime Day and beyond? #EcommerceStrategy #DigitalAdvertising #PrimeDay #RetailMedia

1wWow, these insights are incredibly valuable! It's fascinating to see how the ad landscape varies so dramatically across platforms. The high percentage of paid content on Amazon really underscores the need for a robust, platform-specific strategy. I'm particularly intrigued by the potential of traditional grocers and less saturated platforms like Target and Instacart. They seem like untapped goldmines for brands looking to maximize ROI without getting lost in the clutter. Jack Lindberg
