That's a small experiment I'm carrying out.

People on the internet tend to love free 'badges' - if you've ever been active on a forum, they're full of them.

The "Free store" badge is what a seller gets when they create a store on SellApp. If they then decide to upgrade their store, the badge will be replaced by a more colorful "Premium store" or an even fancier "Advanced store" badge.

I want to check two things: 1. Whether the "Free store" badge bothers new sellers 2. Whether sellers are more incentivized to upgrade in order to get the fancier "Premium store" or "Advanced store" badge

hmmm, I feel like that is "user-hostile", might not be a great idea for a nascent service. I think that if you're starting a new service you would want to pump it up, make every user feel awesome so they keep using it. you can incentivize upgrade with a carrot without punishing free with a stick. i.e. maybe a "premium" badge only, not the "free" badge. I dont anticipate anyone will be happy that their cheapness is being advertised

I haven't thought about it like that. Will definitely go about it the way you suggested and remove the "free" badge.

Appreciate the suggestion and feedback!
