In today’s digital shopping landscape, the product detail page (PDP) is no longer just a transactional touchpoint—it’s a powerful destination for brand storytelling, shopper inspiration, and conversion-driving content. As consumers increasingly seek authentic and engaging shopping experiences, brands must rethink their approach to PDPs by leveraging user-generated content (UGC), creator-driven media, and immersive visuals.

In this virtual event, Bazaarvoice’s Jo Callahan and Target’s Matt Hiltner will explore the evolving role of PDPs and how they serve as the foundation for content-driven commerce. We’ll uncover key findings from Bazaarvoice’s Shopper Experience Index Report Vol. 18 and discuss how Target is pioneering PDP innovation—transforming them into rich, inspiration-driven shopping experiences.

Join us to learn:

  • How inspirational content—UGC, creator content, and video—shapes shopper behavior and purchase decisions
  • The intersection of PDPs and retail media: How content influences search rankings, visibility, and conversions
  • Target’s latest scorecard insights: The new weighting of imagery, UGC, and ratings & reviews for optimal PDP performance

Whether you’re looking to elevate your PDPs, optimize for retail media, or integrate social influence at every stage of the customer journey, this session will equip you with actionable strategies to drive engagement and sales.

The company had a rebirth. We now have a cult following in the quilting and sewing community, and people are fanatical about their Oliso irons.

Understanding our customers and their shopping behaviors based on early feedback helped inform changes to burtsbees.com that made it easier for cosmetics customers to find what they were looking for.

Quality is a perception that’s influenced by experience. If a customer isn’t happy with their experience, they won’t perceive a product or brand as being a high quality investment.
