# Shelf price tags kept in frame

A money format, measured November 8, 2026 by Volume. https://tryvolume.app/working/money/shelf-price-tags-kept-in-frame

Walk a store or haul on camera quickly and keep the price tags or itemized prices visible on every item. It worked for 5 accounts, with a median of 9x their usual reach. Type: Editing trick. Seen as: Video, Voiceover, Talking head.

## Why it works

Viewers get a free shopping trip with proof of the prices, which makes it saveable and debatable. Mass-appeal retailers give it a built-in audience.

## How to make it

1. Open with a quick hook about the store or the haul
2. Move rack by rack or item by item
3. Overlay or show the price on every item

## Hook formula

Let's look at [store] [new arrivals/haul] together, everything under [$X]

## How this is measured

- Every post is compared with its own account's usual reach, not with other accounts. "14x their usual" means the post got 14 times the median views of that account's recent posts.
- TikTok videos and Instagram Reels are measured on views. Instagram carousels have no view count, so they are measured on likes against the account's usual likes, and say so.
- A post makes the library at 2x its account's usual or more. A format is a repeatable move (what is said or shown, or how it is edited) that several accounts used in breakout posts. It is listed here once it worked for 3 or more different accounts.
- Formats rank on how many accounts they worked for and how far above usual, damped so a fluke on one tiny account cannot outrank a format that worked for ten.
