Give Good Discounts
Are you offering a 10% or 20% discount? We would recommend you raise the bar a little more. Why? Because that will make you stand out from the usual discounts and sellers. Make it near about 40% so that shoppers feel the difference between what is called the original price and the offered price.
Offer Appealing Shipping Services
It’s good to leave no stone unturned to hook your customers. Provide FREE shipping services. Try if you can offer curbside pickup or same-day delivery. While selling on Amazon make sure your shipping services are compatible with the crowd and the prices are equally appealing to buyers.
Make Exclusive Discount offers with Countdown Timer
Create a sense of FOMO. As easy as it is to say, the difficulty is to execute among shoppers. But with the right ad campaigns and content, you can definitely create a sense of urgency for your shoppers. Adding a countdown timer can be a visual FOMO element that can help you.
