The A/B test: The Trustbadge delivers what it promises
The garden furniture retailer, Garten-und-Freizeit.de, became a Trusted Shops business member just one year after it was founded. The shop has already benefited from our trust solutions for many years. An A/B test on the Trustbadge has demonstrated the positive effects.
The Trustbadge is a recognisable trust factor that is available to consumers throughout the online shop. With the Trustbadge, Garten-und-Freizeit.de displays the Trustmark, the Buyer Protection, and the overall customer rating (based on reviews).
The A/B test for the Trustbadge confirms that implementing these trust-builders not only ensures a better brand image, but also leads to more sales. In the digital age, trust is a valuable currency in online retail.
The benefits of the Trustbadge generate enthusiasm






"Until now, we could only hope that the Trustbadge would be of use to us. Now, the importance of the Trustmark has been clearly demonstrated to us. Compared to other measures we've taken to increase sales, we see the Trustbadge as a simple and effective way to optimise conversions."
Jürgen Schuster, Managing Director at Garten-und-Freizeit.de
Garten-und-Freizeit.de:
Investing in quality requires trust
Over 100 people work at Garten-und-Freizeit.de.
Along with the online shop, there is also a large outdoor furniture exhibition at the headquarters in Genderkingen.
The challenge: The purchase of high-quality garden furniture involves a complex selection process. Customers consider their purchase carefully because it is often a long-term investment for them.
Martin Wenger, Head of Business Development, explains the wide product offering: "Our range starts where DIY stores and large furniture stores end. There you might find around 100 different garden chairs, but at Garten-und-Freizeit.de there are over 2,000."
Buyers who invest a lot of money in a product place a great deal of trust in the online retailer they choose to buy from. By displaying the Trustmark and customer reviews, the Trustbadge is an important building block for gaining the trust of shoppers.
