Broody Blog: New Features

Everything we've built for Broody's buyers and sellers, newest first.

  2. A clearer way to join Broody

    One Register button, then choose whether you're here to buy or to sell. Sellers get a short walk through what they get, what it costs and how they're paid.

  3. Auto-tidy your descriptions & bullet points

    Sellers can write richer text in listing descriptions, and auto-tidy offers to fix spelling and grammar issues on save.

  4. Back in stock reminder email

    Tap "Email me when it's back" on a sold-out listing and we'll send you one email the moment it can be ordered again.

  5. See who's waiting for your eggs

    When a listing sells out, sellers can see how many buyers are waiting for it, and restocking tells those buyers straight away with a celebratory email.

  6. Masthead celebrates our sellers & mobile optimisations

    The front page now opens on a mosaic of breeders & their listing photos. We're here to support our sellers, and this celebrates them front of house (it's all about them, not all about us!). We also made a few mobile optimisations to the menu and layout, including an experimental Explore screen.

  7. More informative bank set up for sellers

    Connecting your bank is now more informative, cleaner design with one clear button. The form also fits mobile devices better.

  8. Award Winning rosettes, and Assured Pure for £1

    Help signal to buyers the excellence of your flock by marking your show wins with an Award Winning rosette. Assured Pure now costs £1 an order instead of £2... or you can apply both for a 50p discount.

  9. Quick edit for your listings

    Changing stock if you have lots of listings can be a chore. Quick-edit gives power sellers a nimble way to update stock rapidly. Bulk edit via CSV is also supported.

  10. Quick-save

    Change something on a form and the save button appears conveniently. No more thumb ache from scrolling!

  11. Holiday mode, with a return date

    Need to take a break? Put up your holiday sign with a return date so buyers know when to queue up.

  12. A tidier orders page on your phone

    Order management got some mobile optimisations for sellers.

  13. Your shop admin keeps the bottom menu on phones

    The same bottom bar from the website, stays in your shop admin. This provides a much more cohesive user journey for mobile users.

  14. Review your order the day it arrives

    Before buyers had to wait till hatch day before they could review their shopping experience. Now they can leave a review on delivery day and give sellers immediate feedback.

  16. A phone number for when it's urgent

    Sellers can see their buyer's phone number on an order, and Broody can ring a seller, for the times an email is too slow.

  17. Messages from Broody look like Broody

    Occasionally we might join a conversation thread to offer support & advice. But the email style was the same whether it was from the buyer, seller or us... email from us is now more obviously designed.

  18. Refund emails for buyers and sellers

    Buyers get an email the moment they're refunded, and sellers see the refund go through on the order straight away.

  19. Commission tier delight

    Selling should be fun! Progressing through commission tiers has had a sprinkle of joy added to it with a hint of computer game style animation and sound effects as you "level up".

  20. Grouped listing cards show breeders' best photos

    We tried AI generated group photos... but let's be honest, they sucked! We now grade and pick the best photos from all the seller's listing a particular variety. Buyers quite rightly are attracted to quality, so showing the best first makes sense.

  22. Sold-out listings stay visible for 60 days

    A listing that sells out stays on the marketplace for two months instead of two weeks, so buyers can still find your shop and see what you sell. Sold-out listings on your own shopfront always stay, until you pause them yourself - you always stay in control there.

  23. Photos in messages

    Attach up to two photos to a message, handy for a cracked egg or a proud first chick. Photos are kept for 60 days.

  24. Talk to Broody about an order, privately

    Sellers can reach out to Broody privately for support directly from orders, furthering our commitment to be true partners to Broody sellers than just another platform.

  25. No more headless birds!!

    Thumbnails... chopped off heads. This is a Broody special... we're the only marketplace who goes the length to train two AI models to identify the heads & bodies of your birds so that we never chop a head off again!

  26. Shop pages made for phones

    Shop pages get a full-width picture, the shop's rating and when the seller was last active, and one bottom bar to contact the shop, share it or head back to the marketplace.
