Bet on urgency and scarcity principles with a simple but extremely powerful plugin
“Apply the urgency and scarcity principle to your site and you’ll see conversions increase dramatically”. This is one of the most recurrent expressions on the web when talking about marketing strategies, but it could not be truer. If users realize that they have a limited amount of time to make a decision or that the product they are interested in is available only in limited quantities, they will decide to purchase sooner and quicker. That’s exactly what a countdown does.
Using a countdown for your products will help you increase purchases exponentially. With YITH WooCommerce Product Countdown, you will be able to show a specific countdown for each of your products and trigger exactly the same effect as the last-minute offer.
Then, if you add to this the effect of the scarcity principle and show the number of items left and update them in real-time, it’s done: interested users become actual customers who will rush to buy because they probably will no longer find the item they were interested in.

Great plugin and easy to set upIt has helped with my limited stock during seasonal sales, now my clients know at a first glance how many poducts are left and how much the offer lasts. Plus, I only checked the documentation to understand the configurations, which is great!
