To effectively showcase your new arrivals using WooRanker, implement these strategic configurations:
- Use the “New Products” weight slider to give preference to recently added items – the slider includes a “days” field where you can set the duration of the boost
- When you set the days field (e.g., to 10 days), the score boost follows a gradual decay pattern – 100% of the slider value on day 1, 90% on day 2, 80% on day 3, and so on until reaching 0% after the specified time period
- Create and use a specific “New Arrival” tag for all new products and increase the tag factor weight to boost visibility
- Dedicate a “New Products” category and increase its weight in your scoring configuration
- Balance new product promotion with sales data to ensure better-performing new items get more visibility
- The automatic decay of the new product boost ensures a smooth transition in rankings without manual adjustment
- Create a strategy preset specifically for new product launches that you can activate during major inventory updates
- Use the preview feature to test how your new products will display before implementing changes
- Consider combining new product prioritization with stock level weighting to prevent promoting items that sell out quickly
- For seasonal businesses, adjust the “days” field to match your typical seasonal cycle – shorter for fast-moving fashion items, longer for slower-moving goods
Experiment with different decay periods based on your specific business needs – shorter periods (5-7 days) work well for stores with frequent new arrivals, while longer periods (14-30 days) are better for stores that update inventory less frequently.
