Based on the study, a timer, even if not easily noticed, can improve sales. What is the secret to the success of countdown timers and other countdown timers not easily observed? The answer, simply is psychology.
A timer can do a simple job : create a feeling of urgency. This is important because urgency is related to several well-established psychology principles such as scarcity and fear of missing out.
A large number of websites employ scarcity in some way or other. It's one of Cialdini's 6 principles and can be a great starting point for marketers to figure out how to attract customers.
It's simple to accomplish this: prove that you're in a state of running out of things. It may seem like a weird idea to some, but the fact is that things that are believed to be scarce are more sought-after over items that are readily available or are abundant.
Did you realize that even well-known brands are able to use the "scarcity effect" to boost sales? Amazon is the most well-known online market, seems to have perfected the art.
A timer and inventory warning could help speed up conversions. But that's not the only way to increase your conversion. Another factor that can help you increase your conversion rate is the fear of not being able to make it. Also known as FoMO.
What are the methods employed to produce these effects? According to science timers are powerful triggers for urgency.
They're precise and more likely to draw attention. Vague statements like 'limited-time offer' are not always effective. Customers are intelligent. They are smart. They want concrete, credible offers. However, they don't simply search for concrete or credible offers.
If you look around on a page, you will see that the majority of the content is static. However, the timer isn't.
Psychology is the governing factor here. Our brains are equipped to constantly scan the surrounding for danger and opportunity. The scenes that don't move for long time tend to be ignored or dismissed by the brain. ,Website.
