The e-commerce site and product sales will help expand the company's overall consumer marketing efforts, which also include an area where consumers can sample Paramount+ , the company’s major premium streaming service.

Over the past 12 months, Paramount+'s total national TV advertising had a total paid advertising and media value from on-air network promos of $241.7 million, according to iSpot.tv.

This was driven by $182.5 million in value from the on-air promos on Paramount TV networks, and $59.2 million from paid national TV ads. This generated 32.2 billion impressions, according to iSpot.tv.
