Variation
If we frame the price against familiar per-game or per-practice costs and make returns visible near the purchase button, then add-to-cart rate will increase because cost-per-use and competitive comparisons shift the mental calculation from "is this a lot?" to "is this reasonable compared to what I already spend?" — and a visible returns policy reduces purchase risk for fence-sitters.
What We Changed
- Added contextual, comparative language near the price.
- Displayed return/exchange policy prominently near the Add to Cart button.
- Removed price framing in terms of long-term health outcomes.
