Scarcity is the feeling that a product or service is about to run out. Feeling that you are going to miss some generous offer. The thing about scarcity is that when something begins to run low, people's desire rises. To make it simple, it looks like this:

Like scarcity, urgency compels action. Urgency is when a buyer feels like they need to act quickly. By creating urgency, you don’t just want people to convert. You want them to convert now. A delayed conversion is called a lost conversion.

1. Time limit - a specific discounted price

<h2 id="1-time-limit-a-specific-discounted-price" class="use_in_sidebar">1. Time limit - a specific discounted price</h2>

This one is classic. The problem is many retailers run sales all the time, and it is a mistake. This approach will limit the scarcity building potential because clients will expect discounts to wait for them anytime they come. If you want to offer a discount now and there, always add a specific end date. If you decide to have promotions all the time anyway, work on your copy and write something like: “Due to popular demand”.

2. X people are looking at this offer right now

<h2 id="2-x-people-are-looking-at-this-offer-right-now" class="use_in_sidebar">2. X people are looking at this offer right now</h2>

Show your clients how many other people are on the same page as they are. Write something like:" X people are seeing this product right now" or "X more people think about this." The fear that someone might grab the products in front of their eyes if they don't act quickly will make them want to buy NOW. It's big tactic companies like Airbnb rely on.

“Hurry up, only x more to go.”

“Hurry up, only x more to go.”

By stating that there is limited stock, you will create the illusion that others highly value your product. Do this by using low stock warnings. Have a little pop-up that will say how many products are left. The closer the number comes to zero, the greater the urgency will become. You can add options like notifying them about future restock via mail.

4. Increase price after X sales

<h2 id="4-increase-price-after-x-sales" class="use_in_sidebar">4. Increase price after X sales</h2>

Create those early bird offers and make buyers act even before launching a product. For example, you can offer them to sign in for a lower price for those few first customers. If you limit the number of sales at this stage, you will ensure they take swift action.

When increasing the price, start slowly. Using this tactic you ensure customers feel your product is limited and in high demand.

5. Show big numbers and urgent colors

<h2 id="5-show-big-numbers-and-urgent-colors" class="use_in_sidebar">5. Show big numbers and urgent colors</h2>

Some bright intense colors, like red or orange, increase our blood pressure so we act more impulsive. That is why you will see sales marks always labeled red and written in big fonts.
