Trending messaging

Highlights accelerating demand — an emerging best-seller, before it reaches the ranked lists.

What is trending messaging?

Trending messaging highlights a product whose demand is accelerating rapidly against its own recent baseline. It catches an emerging best-seller in real time — before the product has accumulated enough volume to appear in a ranked list.

What does trending messaging draw on?

It draws on momentum — acceleration measured against the product’s own baseline, not the catalogue average. That is what lets “trending” mean something for a niche product that is surging, not just the biggest sellers.

Where does trending messaging appear?

On browse surfaces — listing pages, search, recommendations — where a shopper choosing between options benefits from seeing what is gathering pace.

What does trending messaging look like?

A line such as “Trending now in outerwear”. It reflects a real, current acceleration in the product’s demand; when the momentum fades, so does the message.
