Why it likely won

Our reading of the result, not the practitioner's claim.

  • Buyers of parts for old vehicles may worry about fit and build quality. A badge can ease that worry.
  • A quality signal may have nudged shoppers toward pricier, better-made parts, which would lift order value.
  • Feeling surer about quality may have led buyers to order more parts at once.

Caveats: Agency-published case study with only the headline figure. Sample size, duration, confidence, conversion rate and the badge design are not shared.

How to run this test on your store

Hypothesis
If we add a quality badge to selected product pages, then average order value will rise because shoppers feel more confident choosing and adding better parts.
Primary metric
Average order value
Guardrails
  • Conversion rate
  • Return rate
  • Revenue per visitor
Who should test it
Stores selling parts or goods where quality and fit are a real worry, and where you can back up the badge. A badge with nothing behind it may not help and can hurt trust.
