FOMO <em>marketing</em> is about urging shoppers to buy what is popular or in high demand.</p> <p>There are several ways to trigger FOMO on ecommerce <a href="https://www.practicalecommerce.com/the-perfect-mobile-product-page" data-wpel-link="internal">product</a> and landing pages. The most common is a clear, enticing call-to-action, such as the add-to-cart button. That alone, though, does little to make a site stand out.</p> <p>What follows are unique ways to trigger shoppers’ FOMO on ecommerce pages.</p> <h3>Driving FOMO on Ecommerce Pages</h3> <p><strong>Display a countdown timer. </strong>There are three common ways to communicate a sale deadline: (i) List the end date, (ii) display the time remaining, which requires a page refresh, (iii) show a real-time countdown timer, which also produces movement on the page to catch the shopper’s eye.</p> <p>Choies, a fashion retailer, runs flash sales and includes a countdown timer at the top of the home page and sale section. Embedding timers on landing and product pages could also be effective.</p> <div id="attachment_351338" style="width: 710px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-351338" class="wp-image-351338 size-full" title="Countdown timer on a category of products page" src="https://www.practicalecommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Choies-flash-sale_a.jpg" alt="Fashion category page with a countdown timer showing how much longer you have to buy." width="700" height="440" srcset="https://www.practicalecommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Choies-flash-sale_a.jpg 700w, https://www.practicalecommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Choies-flash-sale_a-300x189.jpg 300w, https://www.practicalecommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Choies-flash-sale_a-570x358.jpg 570w, https://www.practicalecommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Choies-flash-sale_a-150x94.jpg 150w, https://www.practicalecommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Choies-flash-sale_a-500x314.jpg 500w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /><p id="caption-attachment-351338" class="wp-caption-text">A real-time countdown timer is the best way to promote the urgency of a sale. <em>Source: Choies.</em></p></div> <p><strong>Accept pre-orders. </strong>Accepting pre-orders on highly anticipated products can drive demand. Pre-orders appeal to innovators and early adopters and work well for technology, games, and luxury items.</p> <p>Consider your target audience when <a href="https://www.practicalecommerce.com/use-pre-orders-to-gauge-demand-generate-cash" data-wpel-link="internal">marketing pre-orders</a>. Innovators tend to buy as early as possible, in part to accommodate their social status. Early adopters, though, entice others to purchase a product after its full launch.</p> <p>Moda Operandi, a fashion discovery platform, helps cure FOMO on elite brand handbags by making pre-orders available. This gives the company a leg up on competitors who only allow shoppers to add upcoming items to a wish list.</p> <div id="attachment_351340" style="width: 710px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-351340" class="wp-image-351340 size-full" title="Pre-order product page" src="https://www.practicalecommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/moda-operandi-pre-order_a.jpg" alt="Black Prada purse product page with $1,200 price tag." width="700" height="501" srcset="https://www.practicalecommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/moda-operandi-pre-order_a.jpg 700w, https://www.practicalecommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/moda-operandi-pre-order_a-300x215.jpg 300w, https://www.practicalecommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/moda-operandi-pre-order_a-570x408.jpg 570w, https://www.practicalecommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/moda-operandi-pre-order_a-150x107.jpg 150w, https://www.practicalecommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/moda-operandi-pre-order_a-500x358.jpg 500w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" loading="lazy" /><p id="caption-attachment-351340" class="wp-caption-text">Taking pre-orders on a product can help eliminate FOMO. <em>Source: Moda Operandi.</em></p></div> <p><strong>Feature “As Seen On” posts. </strong>Who says you need to spend thousands on influencers and brand ambassadors? With celebs and social media influencers competing on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, there’s a chance your products are already being hyped. Using social network embed tools, you can show this content on your own pages.</p> <p>But do not display photos from social media without permission. It’s copyright infringement. Instead, use the provided embed feature from each network, which will link to the original post.<br /> </p> <p><strong>Show “Limited” and “Out of Production” labels. </strong>Limited and out-of-production items urge shoppers to buy now before the goods are no longer available. And displaying the remaining available quantity reinforces the desire.</p> <p><strong>Let shoppers “favorite” stuff. </strong>A favorites feature allows shoppers to communicate their views of a product — what they would likely buy if they had disposable income. This feature alone can close more sales.</p> <p><strong>Use emojis. </strong>Emojis are a powerful way to express urgency. Younger shoppers especially will appreciate that you’re speaking their language. And older shoppers will accept emojis so long as you <a href="https://www.practicalecommerce.com/how-to-write-better-sms-marketing-messages" data-wpel-link="internal">use them</a> as visual aids, not word replacements.</p> <p>A few examples:</p> <ul> <li>🔥 – Use with phrases like “Hot Seller” and “Going Fast.”</li> <li>🙌 – Use to say “Check this out!” or to highlight helpful features.</li> <li>💥 – Use to say “Boom!” or to convey a product is almost gone.</li> </ul> <p>Most websites can display emojis. Either copy and paste from <a href="https://getemoji.com/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener noreferrer">Get Emoji</a> or via web fonts.</p> </div> <div
