The study found that a timer can increase sales even though it's not immediately noticeable. So, what's the key behind the effectiveness of countdown timers? Psychology may be the answer.
The purpose of a timer simple: create the sensation of urgency. This is vital because urgency is connected to various well-established psychology concepts, including scarcity and fear of missing out.
A large number of websites use scarcity in one manner or in another. This is one of Cialdini's six principles, and can be a good starting point for those who want to draw customers.
It's easy to do this: you need to show that you're in a state of running out of things. This might seem strange, but it is true that things thought to be in limited supply are more sought-after as opposed to those easily available or in larger quantities.

An inventory warning with a timer can increase your conversion quickly. But that's not the only thing. Another factor that can help you increase your conversion rate is the anxiety of missing out. Also called FoMO.
What can timers do to create these effects? Science has shown that timers can trigger an intense sense of urgency.
They are more specific and are able to draw your focus. Simple phrases like "limited time offer" do not always work. Customers are sophisticated. They are intelligent. They seek out concrete, credible offers. However, they don't simply search for concrete or credible offers.
It is evident that the majority of the information on a website is static when you look at it. But, the timer is not. ,Going here.
Psychology has its rules once again. Our brains are wired to continuously scan the surroundings for dangers and potential. The brain can be prone to overlook or disregard scenes that have remained static for a long period of time.
A change that happens quickly attracts our interest.
