When to Use Product Boxes vs Text Links

DripBox supports both product boxes and text links. Knowing when to use each one improves conversions and keeps your content clean.

Use Product Boxes When

Product boxes work best when the reader is close to making a decision.

Recommended scenarios:

  • Product reviews
  • Comparison sections
  • “Best of” lists
  • Buying guides

Boxes attract attention, show key information, and increase click-through rate.

Use Text Links When

Text links work better earlier in the content.

Recommended scenarios:

  • Informational paragraphs
  • Explanations and tutorials
  • Supporting mentions inside long articles

Text links feel more natural and less intrusive.

Best Practice

  • Use text links to warm up the reader
  • Use product boxes near decision points
  • Avoid placing boxes too early in the article

This balance improves both UX and revenue.
