Creating scarcity with a Product Countdown plugin

It’s one of the oldest tricks in the business book – creating scarcity. When faced with impending scarcity, many customers will try and beat the countdown and buy. It might be just what is required to convert a hesitant customer into a sale – the notion that the deal will not be available at that price for long.

Update: We’ve included a product scarcity feature within our Shoptimizer WooCommerce theme. See the theme page for more information or check out a single product for a demo of it in action.

The Product Countdown plugin by wpbuddy does this for just $26. It has loads of features including:

• A popup-window fixed to the top
• A popup-window fixed to the bottom of the page
• Adding a shortcode directly in the content of a post, page or custom post type
• Add the current sales price or/and the current items in stock in the message beside the counter
• Custom or global CSS for every single countdown
• Global CSS setting for every countdown
• Action that should be performed after the countdown has expired: Send an email or redirect to another page.
