Looking to increase your product visibility and boost sales during Lazada's peak traffic? Lazada's Hot Slot Hot Deals (HSHD) campaign offers an exclusive space to showcase your best-performing items. In this article, we'll walk you through how it works, who's eligible, how to join, and important deadlines every seller should note.
 


What are Lazada Hot Slot Hot Deals (HSHD)?

"Hot Deals" is a special section on Lazada where popular and trending products are displayed. It's powered by an algorithm, so the products shown are personalised for each buyer based on their interests and shopping habits.

"Hot Slot Hot Deals" (HSHD) is the top two rows in that section. These rows are reserved for selected products that are part of a special campaign. Since space is very limited, only a small number of products can appear there, making it a premium and highly competitive spot that gives those products the best visibility on the platform.
