Today, companies employ many strategies to draw in customers and convince customers to buy their products or services.
A countdown timer is just one such tactic. We'll be discussing the function of a countdown timer and how it could help to create your own niche.
What is a Countdown Timer?
A countdown timer is a computer program that counts down from a date or number to indicate when an offer or event is over or about to begin.
Although such countdown timer were commonly employed on websites for landing, they've now found their way to checkout pages as well.
The primary purpose of a countdown timer is to give the impression that "time is running out" and create an sense of urgency.
Businesses can also make use of countdown timers which will count down until the time when discounts or special offers will be made available. It is a great way to generate curiosity and keep customers interested and coming back.
Psychology: How do you create countdown timers that work
According to a study conducted by Whichtestwon, adding an countdown timer in the majority of cases, increases the revenue of a company by up to 9%.
The countdown was simple and highlighted the time to the next day's delivery.
Although it might not sound to be a lot 9 percent of your customers can make a huge difference to your profits.
This isn't the sole test that has highlighted the benefits of using the countdown timer. Another test studied the advantages of using a timer for web pages and demonstrated that time counter could improve the speed of completion of forms.
The test found that timers can boost sales, even if it's not noticed immediately. What is the secret behind the success of countdown timers , and other countdown timers not immediately observed? Psychology may be the answer.
A timer can do a simple job : create a feeling of urgency. This is vital since urgency is linked to various well-established psychology concepts such as scarcity and fear of missing out.
Many websites employ scarcity in some way or other. It's one of Cialdini's 6 principles and is a great starting point for marketers to figure out how to draw customers.
The trick is simple - you have to show you're not having enough of something. This may seem odd however it's the truth that items thought to be in limited supply are more sought-after as opposed to those readily available or in larger quantities.
Did you consider that even brands with established names are able to use the "scarcity effect" to boost sales? Amazon the most visited online marketplace has achieved this art.
An inventory warning using a timer may increase the speed of conversion. Additionally, there's another principle that is at play: the fear of missing out which is more commonly known as FoMO.
How are timers used to create these effects? According to research timers are powerful triggers of the sense of urgency.
They're more specific and are better able to grab focus. Simple phrases like 'limited time offer' do not work every time. Customers are smart. They are intelligent. They want real, reliable offers. But, they don't only look for concrete and credible offers.
You'll notice that the majority of the information on a website is static if you examine it. But, the timer is not. ,Go here.
Once again, psychology rules here. The brain is equipped to constantly scan the surrounding for danger and opportunity. The brain tends to neglect or ignore scenes that are not moving for a long time.
Anything that is changing quickly catches our interest.
