It can be used to generate curiosity and keep people interested and coming back.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Psychology_The_Key_to_Making_Countdown_Timers_Work\"><\/span><b>Psychology: The Key to Making Countdown Timers Work<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">survey, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">adding a countdown timer, on the average, increased a business\u2019 revenue by as much as 9%.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The countdown did a simple job, it highlighted the time left for next-day delivery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It might not sound like a big increase to some people but if you calculate the number of people who visit your site, you will realize what a major difference nine percent can make to your profit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This isn&#8217;t the only test to have highlighted the benefit of using a countdown timer. Another test studied the advantages of using a timer on a website and showed that timers can improve form completion time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the test, a timer, even if not easily noticed, can improve sales. So, what\u2019s the secret behind the effectiveness of countdown timers? The answer, simply, is psychology.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A timer does a simple job \u2013 create a sense of urgency. This is very important because urgency related to a number of well-established psychology principles: fear of missing out and scarcity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A large number of websites use scarcity in one form or another. It\u2019s one of Cialdini\u2019s six principles and can be a great starting point for marketers on how to attract buyers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The trick is simple \u2013 you have to show you\u2019re running out of things. This may sound like a strange plan to some but the fact remains that items that are believed to be in short supply tend to be more desirable than items that are easily available or that are in abundance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Did you know that even well-established brands utilize the &#8216;scarcity effect&#8217; to drive sales? Amazon, the world\u2019s most well-known online marketplace, seems to have mastered the art.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3724\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3724\" style=\"width: 1054px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3724 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/adoric.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/amazon-countdown-timer.jpg\" alt=\"amazon countdown timer\" width=\"1054\" height=\"475\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/adoric.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/amazon-countdown-timer.jpg 1054w, https:\/\/adoric.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/amazon-countdown-timer-300x135.jpg 300w, https:\/\/adoric.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/amazon-countdown-timer-768x346.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1054px) 100vw, 1054px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1054px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1054\/475;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3724\" src=\"https:\/\/adoric.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/amazon-countdown-timer.jpg\" alt=\"amazon countdown timer\" width=\"1054\" height=\"475\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adoric.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/amazon-countdown-timer.jpg 1054w, https:\/\/adoric.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/amazon-countdown-timer-300x135.jpg 300w, https:\/\/adoric.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/amazon-countdown-timer-768x346.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1054px) 100vw, 1054px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3724\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">amazon countdown timer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An inventory warning with a timer can increase your conversion quickly. In addition to this, there\u2019s another principle that comes into play \u2013\u00a0the fear of missing out, more popularly known as FoMO.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, how are timers used to create these effects? According to science, timers can be very powerful triggers for urgency.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They\u2019re specific and better able to attract one\u2019s attention. Vague statements such as \u2018limited time offer\u2019 do not always work. Customers are smart. They look for concrete and credible offers. But, this isn\u2019t the only benefit of using a timer on a website.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you look around on a page, you will find that almost all content is static. The timer, however, isn\u2019t.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once again, psychology rules here. Our brains are programmed to constantly scan the environment for opportunity and danger. The brain tends to neglect or dismiss scenes that have remained static for a long time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Something that continues to change rapidly gains our attention.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits_of_Using_Countdown_Timers\"><\/span><b>Benefits of Using Countdown Timers<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that we know how countdown timers work, let\u2019s have a look at their benefits and why you should use a countdown for your site:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_It_Creates_a_Sense_of_Urgency\"><\/span><b>1.
