Commerce icons have many uses;
Discount icons
Discount icons can boost sales and customer engagement. These universally recognizable icons, featuring percentage signs, price tags, or slashed prices, draw attention and highlight special offers. They are used to:
Emphasize sales: Prominently placed discount icons alert customers to potential savings, encouraging quick decisions and increasing purchase likelihood.
Promote seasonal deals: During events like Black Friday or end-of-season clearances, discount icons differentiate sale items from regular-priced products.
Optimize carts: Icons next to cart items indicate available additional discounts, prompting customers to checkout or continue shopping for larger discounts.
Free quote icons
Free quote icons, typically featuring documents or pens, are used by service businesses with variable pricing to signify personalized quotes can be requested. They are useful for:
Service customization: For services requiring customer-specific adjustments, like renovations or custom design, a free quote icon invites inquiries about tailored pricing.
Building trust: Offering free quotes suggests pricing transparency, reassuring customers they can understand costs before financially committing.
Lead generation: Free quote icons often link to contact forms that capture customer information, serving as effective lead generation tools by providing valuable follow-up and conversion data.
