Email Marketing: Creating Scarcity and Urgency
Another good tactic to use in your email campaign is to use is Urgency and Scarcity:
Urgency and scarcity are two of the things that have been studied that cause people to buy. If you can introduce urgency and scarcity into your offer, then you will get more sales than if you don’t introduce scarcity.
Fear of loss has been known to be one of our biggest motivators as human beings. We do not want to miss out on anything or at least have the opportunity to find out about something. Using urgency gives that sense to your reader that they are about to miss out or are going to fail to at least hear about what is going on
You will become effective when you become good at communicating that something is time-sensitive or quantity-bound, which simply can’t be ignored.
Some of the most profitable email campaigns have subject lines that have some element of scarcity. You see this with subject lines like, “It ends tonight at midnight!”, “There are only 25 copies out of 500 left”, “A couple spots just opened up”, etc.
Let’s take a look at your own habits. What kind of action do you take when you have a limited amount of time to get something or to get something done? When you have to get the money in the bank or risk having an overdraft and the bank is getting ready to close what do you do?
You take immediate action. You become more inclined to make a more immediate decision when it becomes urgent to proceed right now. If there is now sense of urgency to get the check in the bank you will wait until the next day. The same goes for buying.
You will get a sale faster with a created sense of urgency than you would if there was no urgency and no scarcity associated with that.
If the price is going up on a product make sure you let the reader know that they have to act fast to make sure they get it at the lower price. Make your reader feel that they will miss out on a deal if they do not act fast.
You also can use this with any fast action bonus offers that may apply to the product.
Let them know that any fast action bonus offers are going fast and they are about to miss out.
