What is Content Commerce?
Content Commerce basically combines the best of the two worlds - Content & Commerce. Content Commerce paves a new path for eCommerce entrepreneurs. It is no secret that traditional advertising seldom works on average consumers anymore. Most consumers perceive advertisements as either over exaggerated or unreliable. The grasp or general awareness over technology and software like photoshop only adds to the skepticism of the consumer.
Content Commerce, as the name suggests, employs content-rich websites to complement their products. Articles, blogs, and rich media content not only help your customers but also yourself. Businesses make use of magazine-like platforms to display their products and add content like a blog in which they showcase their products.
