A timer performs a basic job - create a sense of urgency. This is very important because urgency is connected to a number of well-established psychology principles: fear of being left out, and scarcity.
A large number of websites employ scarcity in some way or another. It's one of Cialdini's six principles, and could be an excellent starting point for marketers to figure out how to draw customers.
It's simple to accomplish this: you need to show that you're running out of items. This might seem as if it's a bizarre plan to some people, but the reality remains that items that are thought to be scarce are often more desirable over items that are readily accessible or in abundance.
Did you know that even established brands are able to use the "scarcity effect" to boost sales? Amazon is the most well-known online marketplace appears to have achieved this art.
An inventory warning using a timer may increase the speed of conversion. But that's not the only way to increase your conversion. Another concept that can aid in increasing the speed of your conversion is fear of not being able to make it. Also called FoMO.

They are more precise and are able to draw your attention. Inconsistent phrases such as 'limited-time offer' are not always successful. Customers are smart. They seek out concrete and reliable offers. However, they don't simply look for concrete and legitimate offers.
If you look around on a page, you will discover that the majority of content is static. The timer, however, isn't.
