One of the most effective messages to drive a user to add to cart is Yieldify's Social Proof.

A social proof is designed to drive a user to complete the next step in their journey. This makes the social proof an incredibly flexible tool that can be applied in different ways to guide the on-site experience. Examples include:

On Product Pages: Drive users to add an item to cart

On the Cart Page: Drive users to continue to checkout

On the Checkout Page: Drive users to complete their purchase

Key Targeting Recommendations:

We recommend setting up your first social proof using the following Targeting Options:

Page Type = Product

This will ensure that your social proof is only appearing on pages where a user can immediately add an item to cart, naturally progressing the user down the core funnel

Dynamic Social Proof

This enables you to have any message only appear on pages that have had a minimum number of page views over a specific time frame, allowing you personalize messaging depending on a page's popularity.

Example Targeting:

Page Type is Product

Dynamic Social Proof is Greater Than 500 views in past 24 hours.

In this case, your campaign would only appear on your Product Pages that have had over 500 views in the past day, a great target to highlight product popularity.
