Inaugural WARC dComm IndexTM report on Amazon is released - a proprietary data-led report to help marketers overcome the challenges and find opportunities to achieve success on Amazon
LONDON, Jun 21, 2022 - (ACN Newswire) - WARC, the global authority on marketing effectiveness, has today launched WARC Digital Commerce (www.warc.com/about-digital-commerce), a unique one-stop destination bringing together analysis, best practices and insights for brand marketers and ecommerce leaders to build digital platform marketing strategies and plan for success.

"With this launch we will provide a clear understanding of how to optimise presence, media investment and use creativity to magnify influence on the major digital platforms and drive sales."
Patrick Miller, Co-President, Ascential Digital Commerce, & Co-founder, Flywheel Digital, added: "As the worlds of marketing, sales, supply chain, and digital commerce come together, it's paramount that marketers have a comprehensive understanding of how their brands are showing up and performing on the major retailers.

The WARC Digital Commerce IndexTM report on Amazon.com Q1-2022
Following the release of WARC's first Digital Commerce report, 'How to win on Instacart' (content.ascential.com/warc-dc-instacart-register.html), a new study is published today on how brands can win on Amazon.
The first WARC Digital Commerce Index report on Amazon (Q1 2022) provides marketers with a closer look at how Amazon is evolving its business as well as the challenges and opportunities it offers, along with some key takeaways to help marketers turn data and KPIs into actionable insights.
Gregory Grudzinski, Head of Content, WARC Digital Commerce, and author of the report, says: "Amazon has recently broadened its focus and leaned into the upper marketing funnel -- thereby creating a powerful opportunity for brand marketers to use Amazon for brand building as well as for sales."
Topics covered in WARC's Amazon dComm Index include:
Rising CPCs - The average cost per click on Amazon's core ad product - sponsored product ads - increased 29% year-on-year in March 2022, according to digital advertising optimization provider, Perpetua.
Paid Search Competitive Intensity - In Paid Search, a relatively small number of brands dominate paid search on Amazon with a long tail of brands struggling for visibility. By comparison, on Instacart there is a much smaller gap between the winners and losers -- which translates to an opportunity for brand marketers.
The Winner's Circle - dComm Winners by category: Non-Alcoholic Drinks: Nespresso; Baby Products: Pampers; Health: Pure Encapsulations; Toys & Games: Barbie; Food: Kind; Beauty & Personal Care: Maybelline; Household Supplies: Duracell; Pet Supplies: Blue Buffalo; Consumer Electronics: JBL/Harman.
At the core of this Amazon Q1 2022 and subsequent deep-dive ecommerce reports, is the WARC dComm IndexTM, a proprietary data-led benchmark which takes into account product selection, organic search, price, paid search and advertising content. It allows brands to measure themselves against category competitors and across major digital commerce platforms, and will be the definitive guide for brands wanting to succeed in the ecommerce era.
Download (content.ascential.com/lp/897-MBC-207/warc-dc-uncover-the-secrets.html) a complimentary sample of the first WARC Digital Commerce report on Amazon. The full report is available only to subscribers of WARC Digital Commerce.
