Psychology: How do you create countdown timers that work
According to a survey conducted by Whichtestwon the addition of the countdown timer, on average, can boost a business' revenue by as high as 9 percent.
The countdown did a simple job. It highlighted the time left for delivery the next day.
It may not seem like a huge increase to some people but if you calculate the number of people who visit your site, you will realize what a huge difference nine percent could bring to your profits.
The advantages of using a countdown timer aren't just discussed in this study. Another study explored the benefits of using a countdown timer on websites and found that time could improve form completion times.
The research showed that timers can boost sales, even if it's not immediately noticeable. What's the key behind the effectiveness of countdown timers as well as other countdown timers that are not readily observed? The answer, in simple terms is psychological.
The function of a timer straightforward: create an atmosphere of urgency. This is crucial because urgency is connected to various well-established psychology concepts, including scarcity and fear of being left out.
A lot of websites use scarcity in some way or other. This is one of Cialdini's six principles, and can be a great starting place for businesses looking to attract customers.
The trick is that it's about showing that you're not having enough of something. This might seem strange however it's the truth that items thought to be in limited availability are more sought-after than those that are readily available or available in larger quantities.
Did you know that established brands use the'scarcity effect' to drive sales? Amazon, the most popular online marketplace in the world, seems to have developed this technique.
A timer or inventory alert can help increase conversions quickly. In addition to this an additional principle comes into play - the fear of missing out commonly referred to as FoMO.
How are timers employed to generate these effects? According to research timers are powerful triggers for urgentness.
They are more precise and can be drawn to your notice. Simple phrases like "limited-time offer' aren't always efficient. Customers are intelligent. They are looking for tangible and reliable offers. However, they don't simply search for concrete and reliable offers.
You will see that most of the information on a webpage is static when you take a look at it. The timer, however, isn't.
Again, the psychology rule here. Our brains are equipped to constantly scan the surrounding for danger and potential. Scenes that aren't moving for long time are often overlooked or dismissed by our brains. ,Read more here.
