2. Catalog hierarchy You can more easily categorize your catalog by highlighting certain references. Users can see in an instant which items are new, best sellers, etc.
3. Incentive to discover A “Limited Edition” or “New” badge sparks curiosity and encourages visitors to click for more, increasing the time spent on the product page.
4. Building trust Showing that a product is acclaimed (“Best-Seller”) or that it has a recognized label (“Certified Organic”) reassures and motivates the purchase.
5. Boosting sales Badges can encourage you to take action more quickly. They create a sense of exclusivity and urgency, helping to reduce hesitation and shopping cart abandonment.

1. Avoid overloading Too many badges, or visuals that are too garish, can blur the message. Go for a clean design and a clear message for each badge.
2. Maintain visual consistency Select colors and fonts that align with your visual identity. A badge should be striking while integrating with the overall aesthetic of your site.
3. Use explicit messages Instead of “Promo”, indicate “-20%” or “Special offer: 2 purchased, 1 free”. The more specific you are, the more the visitor will understand the value of clicking.
4. Update regularly A “New” or “Promotion” badge must be removed or changed when the period has passed. Otherwise, you risk losing credibility with your loyal customers.
5. Test and analyze Conduct A/B tests to determine which badge style or message generates the most clicks and conversions. Adjust based on results.
