Businesses use many tactics today to attract customers and get them to purchase their products or services.
One such tactic is to use a 'countdown timer'. We'll be discussing the function of a countdown timer and how it can help to create your unique niche.
What is a Countdown Timer?
A countdown timer can be described as a computerized clock that counts down from a specific date or number to indicate the end or beginning of an event or offer.
While such large timer were typically used for websites for landing, they've recently found their way to checkout pages too.
The function of a countdown timer is to create a sense of urgency and give the feeling that "time is running out." ,More info.
Companies also utilize countdown timers which count down to the moment when special deals or discounts will be offered. This can be used to create curiosity and keep customers returning.
Psychology: The Secret to Making Countdown Timers Work
According to a survey conducted by Whichtestwon, adding a countdown timer, on average, can boost a business' revenue by as much as 9%.
The countdown was simple and highlighted the time to next-day delivery.
It may not seem like a huge gain to everyone, however, if you look at the number of visitors who visit your site you'll realize the significant difference that nine percent could bring to your profits.
The benefits of using a countdown clock timer are not only discussed in this study. Another study examined the benefits of using a timer for websites and found that time can increase the speed of completion of forms.
Based on the study that a timer, when it isn't easily seen is able to boost sales. What's the key behind the success of countdown timers and other countdown timers not readily noticed? Psychology may be the answer.
The job of a timer is straightforward: create an atmosphere of urgency. This is vital because urgency is connected to various well-established psychology concepts that include scarcity and the fear of missing out.
Many websites use scarcity in one way or other. This is one of Cialdini’s six principles and could be a good starting point for businesses looking to attract customers.
It's easy to do this: demonstrate that you are getting out of supplies. This might seem like a strange plan to some people, but the reality remains that items that are considered to be scarce are often more desirable than items that are easily accessible or abundant.
Did you know that even established brands use the'scarcity effect' to drive sales? Amazon the most visited online marketplace in the world, seems to have mastered this art.
An inventory warning using a timer may increase your conversion rate quickly. But that's not the only way to increase your conversion. Another factor that can aid in increasing the speed of your conversion is fear of not being able to make it. Also known as FoMO.
What are the best ways to use timers to generate these effects? According to science timers are powerful triggers of urgentness.
They're specific and better able to grab interest. Inconsistent phrases such as 'limited-time offer' aren't always effective. Customers are smart. They look for concrete and reliable offers. However, they don't just look for concrete and legitimate offers.
If you look around on a page, you will discover that the majority of the content is static. However, the timer doesn't work.
Psychology is a constant force. The brain is wired to continuously monitor the surrounding for danger and opportunity. Scenes that aren't moving for long time tend to be dismissed or ignored by the brain. ,More info.
