Salsify Digital Asset Experience Capabilities | Salsify

Brand storytelling and great product experiences require digital assets. Consumer demand for engaging product content has only grown, and images, videos, and other rich media are no longer nice-to-haves — they’re essential for modern commerce.

According to Salsify’s “2024 Consumer Research” report, a survey of 2,700 U.S. and U.K. consumers across generation groups, 78% of respondents say that product images and descriptions are “very” or “extremely” important when deciding to make a purchase.

Additionally, almost half (45%) of shoppers abandoned a purchase due to poor product content like low-quality (or not enough) images.

Despite these statistics, many commerce solutions treat assets like just another product property, making it difficult for brands to develop a comprehensive and centralized view of their digital content.

This model is broken: One asset could apply to many products — or none at all. A brand asset you might want on 100% of your product detail pages (PDPs) might apply to all products. Assets should be treated as first-class objects, with their own workflows, user experience (UX) treatment, search and filtering options, and other essential considerations.

That’s where the Salsify Digital Asset Experience comes in.
