How do Product Badges help increase conversion rates, sales and branding?
Help customers to find desired products easily
Product badges and stickers should include all important information that you want to deliver, and of course, your customers need. For example, event-related badges are a sense of motivation for customers when it comes to the holidays. There are so many occasions - Christmas, Halloween, Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Valentine,... - that benefit from badging. That is the time where your customer will be shopping ahead, looking for a perfect gift for special ones in their lives, and badges help to highlight those items they might be interested in.
Motivate customers to purchases quicker
Shoppers often look for products that are marked as Top rated or Best-seller, because they believe in the social proof of other shoppers. What customers like them buying makes it easier for them to say yes, like all of us are always affected by other opinions. Trending now, Deal of the day or Staff pick product badges provide social proof to your customers. These stickers tell them that people like them have bought this item, many people recommend this product, and they will hardly have a chance to see this bargain again. Your customers would better capture the savings before the deal runs out.
Increase reliability of the products
It will be great if customers know your products are 100% organic or Safe for babies and Recommended by experts.

Moreover, badges can bring a professional look to your store, as it seems like every product has been marked.
