Don't know it this has always been there (I don't frequent the Browse section too often) . . . but under each category, the first pic is a "Suggested Shop" (when clicked on you're taken to their shop) and the next pic is an item from that same shop.

So, how do you get to be the suggested shop?

Is it Search Ads? I'm just taking a a guess.
I've seen it. I would guess it is a "test" for now and might eventually be something you could pay for like search ads but for browse.
I was thinking the same thing. How does one become a suggested shop?
I want to be a suggested shop! :)
I want to be a suggested shop too!
This was in the Admin's thread this week (see "ideas')

Those were an experiment we decided to leave running for a while, to see how effective they might be. As you suggest, the answer is "not so effective." There's a lot more to say on this topic, but I'm going to hold back for now since I'm personally undecided on the direction to take. You should expect to continue to see similar experiments around the site, though.
