TemplateMonster marketplace launches the Product Booster functionality for authors (it’s accessible from your “Products” section) that allows boosting the position of a chosen product by pushing it up through the Trending list.
We’ve got a quick video explaining everything you need to know about Product Booster if you’d rather watch something than read.
To turn on Product Booster, you need to click on the “Product Booster” link.
Right after that, a popup window will appear.
In the dropdown selector, you can fine-tune a share of your author commission that you can invest in the boosting process, choosing from 10 to 25%. In other words, we will deduct from 10 to 25% from your author commission in favor of a higher position in the “Trending” list.
The more you invest, the higher position you will get.
When you activate the boosting process, the new status will be reflected on the product preview in your account.
The Trending list needs some time to re-process the rating of all templates, including the rating of the boosted products. When everything is set and your product rating is recalculated, the status will be changed to the following one.
In the Page Views section, you can see all the dynamics. Just select any of your templates and any month of the year to see the boost period. It is highlighted in orange. The color of the gradient darkens if the boost is bigger. Hover any period and see exactly the percentage of the growth. Analyze how often the product page was visited due to the boost of the product in the listings.
“Cancel the Product Booster” status means that the boosting is active, and you have an option to cancel it at any time you want, without any consequences.
Please note! The Product Booster can be turned on for an unmeasured period; we recommend you to test this option using various percentage values since it can deliver different results for different product types and topics.
To help our authors earn more, we’ve added a new option to the Product Booster. With its help, authors can add more exposure to their product in the Trending section, spending 25% of their commission.
Certain criteria must be met for a product to qualify for SuperBoost. You can super boost your product if:
Only these types of products get SuperBoost, and their price should not be lower than:
Click on the Product Booster link on your product card (inside your author account), then in the pop-up window, where it says “Choose the percentage of your author commission…” in the dropdown, choose the fourth option.
If your product doesn’t meet the criteria, the SuperBoost item will be inactive, and the popup will say that your product should satisfy certain requirements:
The Product Booster is a perfect opportunity for established products to get more exposure that will result in more sales. The topic of a template also makes a difference when moving through the trending list. The idea is pretty simple, but it needs to be voiced.
When someone checks the first page of the Trending list, they will see a bunch of boosted products with the highest performance. Still, if they narrow down the results (filtering out some topic), they will see boosted templates from the filtered topic that did not reach the first (second, or even third) page of the Trending section. Within a single topic, boosted products can get a lot more views than they ever had.
Also, we recommend you to try this feature on the newly added products because they can get more views and sales.
When the Product Booster is activated for some product, it will get the badge Rocket.
P.S. Currently, the “Product Booster” is in a pilot phase, and based on the preliminary tests, it promises to be extremely efficient for established products.
P.P.S. The trending list rating is recalculated once every 24 hours, so when you turn on the Booster, don’t expect your product to get a new position instantly.
