New improvement I HATE that Customers LOVE on AppSumo - MEGA Menu - increased conversion 5.64% 📈 https://t.co/wCbIyYYpc8

AppSumo added a big, chunky mega menu to their site and conversions bumped up 5.64%. The founder admits he personally hates the look, but customers are clearly voting with their clicks. Let’s break down what’s happening inside this one screenshot so you can steal the layout for your own site.

The psychology behind the 5.64% lift

This design wins because it trades minimalism for momentum. Instead of hiding options in tiny dropdowns, the mega menu surfaces the most profitable paths: urgent deals, high-rated products, and a hero collection. Visitors see proof that there’s a lot to explore, plus one obvious next click. It feels like walking into a well-organized store instead of guessing which door to open.

Why this mega menu prints more money

  • Three clear columns (Categories, Trending, Featured) reduce thinking time and show visitors exactly where to go.
  • Category labels like “Marketing & Sales” and “Development & IT” match how business buyers mentally sort tools.
  • The Trending column (“Ending soon”, “Customer favorites”) taps urgency and social proof without feeling pushy.
  • The big Featured card with product thumbnails and a bold “Explore” button acts like a mini-landing page inside the nav.
  • Hovering the menu keeps the main CTA (“Buy now”) visible in the background, so shopping intent never gets lost.

Ways you could copy this on your own site

Shopify logo

Shopify could split its top nav into a mega menu with columns for "Start", "Sell", "Market", and "Manage" plus a Featured App of the Week card.

Notion logo

Notion could highlight templates in a mega menu, with categories like "Personal", "Teams", and "Startups" alongside a large Featured Template card.

Own the parking lot.

I saw a guy outside the biggest, nicest house in my neighborhood, so I said hi and asked what he does for a living. Turned out to be a good business lesson.

He told me he used to own a bunch of restaurants in Austin. Then he said, almost like it was boring, that he never really made money on the restaurants. He made his money on the parking lots.

What? Excuse me!

The older I get the less money I want to make.

And it's more I want less BS to deal with in my life.

Turns out HubSpot isn't dead. 💀

I gave Claude Code 30 days of AppSumo software costs ($100,000) total.

Asked it to analyze cost, effort, maintenance of replicating all the software we are using.

It found ~$500 / month in costs but many of the "dead" SaaS products it did not recommend changing.
