How to use product labels
The UX of your eCommerce website may be set up well to help your customers navigate, but the important part is adding something that will catch their eye. Instead of opting for neon signs, a simple, well-designed product label will do.
Boost a specific product
Placing a label on a product you’d like to product will intrigue your customers. The trick is the wording. Try something like “bestseller” or “low stock” to gain their attention. The idea is to create a buyer’s envy and FOMO.
Introduce your new products
As soon as new products arrive, it’s not enough to just add them to the top of the list. Adding a label will help boost your customers’ interest. The text could read “new” or “just arrived”.
Promote sales
Buyers love a good sale, even if they don’t need the product – they’ll come running. If you’re ushering in new products and looking to discard some old stock, adding an “on sale” sign will help with the Click-Through Rates.
Free shipping
Besides a good sale, online shoppers also love the words “free shipping”. Adding this label to certain products will intrigue your customers enough for them to find out more.
Showcase your bestsellers
