Whether it’s a gift guide or curated monthly favourite product picks, the Money Spot widget allows you to enhance your content by making it interactive and immediately shoppable! 

    In this post, we will walk you through the functionality of the Money Spot widget and how to best use it to you and your audience’s advantage.

     

    Creating a Shoppable Product Collage with the Money Spot Widget

     

    Upload your collage

    First things first, upload the product collage you’ve created

    Be sure to include text within the image with a call to action directing your readers to “click to shop!”. This way, your audience knows that they can simply click a product within your collage to locate and purchase it. 

    Also, consider adding text detailing specific products that are featured in the collage. For example, if you own a particular product and love it—make note! If something is a major steal—call it out! Any additional, intriguing product information that you can provide will likely leave your readers more inclined to click on the image and shop the product themselves.

    Designate Money Spot type and display options 

    The Money Spot widget allows you to choose between two different widget display options (icons and hotspots) and designate several product information and display specifications.

    Icons tell your readers where, specifically, to click for product information. With icons, you can also choose to show the brand and price of the products featured in your collage. This would be appropriate when publishing a collage dedicated to save or splurge picks or products that are on sale for a steal.

    Hotspots are more the implicit options. If you choose to show hotspots on hover, readers who are less familiar with the idea of a clickable collage will be able to tell that the collage is interactive.
