My $10M+ Clients Spend Most Of Their Meta Budget On tROAS Bidding. Here's How.
The Perspective: Psychology Of Conversion
You’ve been duped by design—most sites do everything but nudge your brain toward the checkout. But these six sinisterly simple psychological tweaks? They light up the decision-making part of your visitors' brains like a Vegas slot machine.
Preview bullet list (without spoiling):
The CTA isn’t just a button—it’s the VIP guest you can’t stop staring at
How “everyone else is buying it” quietly torpedoes indecision
Visuals that beguile the brain before it even notices what you’re selling
A tiny tweak in layout that does the heavy lifting of persuasion
Consider this your backstage pass into the brain of your buyer. Intrigued? Slip into the full fix-it guide right here.
| TOGETHER WITH DOSS
Doss is an Adaptive Resource Platform (ARP) that molds to your business processes, not the other way around. Built on a composable architecture, Doss unifies your entire operation into a single source of truth that adapts to your unique workflows: orders, inventory, procurement, production planning, warehousing, and accounting. With built-in business intelligence and reporting, you get instant insights where your data lives, without juggling multiple point systems or wrestling with integrations.
Traditional ERPs like NetSuite and Dynamics promise comprehensive features but deliver comprehensive headaches. Even newer platforms like Odoo and Cin7 trap you in the same cycle: expensive and lengthy implementations, constant technical debt, and systems that break when your business changes. Pick a system that grows with your business, and cares to understand it.

Top Shopify brands are using badges strategically to improve product discovery, boost urgency, and build social proof.
Badges are an elegant way to communicate, without cluttering the experience:
1️⃣ “Best Seller”, “Back in stock” = Social proof.
Shoppers don’t want to take risks - this tells them others loved it, so you probably will too.
2️⃣ “Low Stock” = Urgency.
This isn’t fake FOMO. If something’s running out, say it. It moves people from “maybe later” to “I need this now.”
3️⃣ “Ultra light”, “Easy on, Easy off”, “Birthstone” = Smart filtering.
(Feature-focused badges)
Let users scan what matters most to them - without reading a single bullet point.
We've seen a 4.6% lift in conversion rate by introducing smart product badges.
