Key Settings to Configure
Number Selection
Which statistics to feature: Choose numbers that build trust and credibility
- Customer-focused: Orders shipped, customers served, satisfaction ratings
- Experience-based: Years in business, products sold, countries served
- Achievement-focused: Awards won, media mentions, industry certifications
- Pro tip: Use round numbers when possible (10,000+ vs. 9,847) - they're more impactful and easier to remember
Presentation Strategy
Making numbers impressive: Present statistics in the most compelling way
- Scale appropriately: Use "10K+" instead of "10,000" for visual impact
- Add context: Include descriptions that explain why the number matters
- Stay honest: Only use real, verifiable numbers - fake statistics damage trust
- Best practice: 3-4 key statistics work better than many smaller ones
Visual Impact
Animation and design: Make numbers attention-grabbing without being distracting
- Counter animation: Numbers automatically count up when customers scroll to the section
- Layout choice: Vertical layout (number above text) usually works better for impact
- Color emphasis: Consider highlighting your most important number with custom colors
Pro Tips for Success
Best Practices
