Retail Readiness
Making sure a product listing has complete content, strong reviews, competitive price, and stock before spending on retail media to drive it.

Short answer
Retail readiness is the practice of ensuring a product listing is fully prepared before investing in retail media to promote it. That means complete titles, images, and descriptions, strong ratings and reviews, a competitive price, and reliable stock. Advertising a listing that is not retail ready tends to waste spend because traffic converts poorly.
