What is scarcity marketing?

Scarcity marketing

Source: motive metrics

Scarcity marketing is a type of marketing which is based on the theory that normally relies on the proven theory of increasing the need of the hour and all the stuff which are difficult to obtain. This includes a vast variety of things like the price, distribution, promotion, products etc. It basically includes motivating the people to buy something urgently if they will not buy it then there is a huge possibility to lose it and the marketers also create a situation in which you will start believing that if you lose the chance now then you will not get it the whole life long.

The aim is to make people feel the need of urgency through the call to action which is aggressive. Making people scared is the trick behind it and make them feel that if they don’t buy now then it is like they will find anything in Universe except this.

Scarcity marketing basically feeds on the customers fear of losing the product if they don’t buy it immediately. The simple logic behind it is that being humans if we quantity of a product is decreasing and then it will not be available then suddenly the value of the same product increases. People in become crazy about it and try all the things possible to grab it.

People usually think the marketers trick them by giving them different discounts for various products however in the other hand marketers don’t trick them on discounts whereas they trick them by creating a chaotic situation or urgency of the discount. Marketers normally discount all those products which are in high demand or you can say are of good quality.

Here, the one thing may confuse you and a question must have popped up “if the product is so good and has a market value then why is being it sold at a discounted price?”

Only one thing I have to say “Be Unique in the way you want”. Suppose a product has already a good market and hype then marketer uses this trick to create more buzz and drag the attention of a lot of more people, then create a sense of urgency in it. Like if don’t buy the item maybe you will never able to buy it.  The truth is to keep need of scarcity without having to lower the price of the product.

Scarcity Marketing and FOMO

This Scarcity marketing can otherwise be coined as the FOMO marketing or the “Fear of Missing Out”. The fear makes the people scared out and eventually, they fight to buy the desired item. The FOMO and Scarcity marketing basically works well together. Scarcity marketing and FOMO is used nicely as well as works in the Digital platform.

Yes! you hear it right these both the things work like wonders in the Online platform. As we all know these days people are more using the digital media or the online platform for doing any kind of shopping. These days the e-commerce websites are increasing then the normal shopping malls. People are using e-commerce sites and order whatever they want just by sitting at their home because people usually like to save their time and doesn’t want to go out spend unnecessary time, that is why people these days are investing time in online shopping using the e-commerce websites.

Scarcity Marketing and FOMO is great in the digital platform because these days you can even access to the social media sites to make your branding. People these days are so much active on the internet platform like more than half of the worldwide population are using the digital platform. Digital marketing has become a part and parcel of everybody’s life. While people see these type of AD’s which say “Running out of the sale, closes now” etc viewers usually hurry and start buying the items. It is a psychological fear that people get and when viewers see the AD and start thinking if they lose this opportunity then this is the end they will not find another one.

Tactics for Scarcity Marketing and FOMO

 MISSING OPPORTUNITY HIGHLIGHT

Ping! the customers with messages and alert them with the missed out opportunities. This tactic is basically used by the online Hoteliers to showcase people that they have missed a brilliant opportunity.  Yes! you hear it right they showcase that you have missed the opportunity so that you can immediately opt the other best option.

LIMITED STOCK

If something is going to run out of the stock then people fight on to get the item in any case. This is the main reason to make people awake and highlight the scarcity of the product in the digital platform.

HOURLY DEALS

Hourly deals in the e-commerce platform give thumping results. People like to shop a lot during these short periods of time and the rush is huge when offers are made on an hourly basis. For example, you can offer three different deals in three different timeframes. Like, in the first hour, you give deals for electronic goods, then the next hour, you give deals on clothing and then, on the third hour, you give deals on kitchenware. This works like magic and paves way for a drastic increase in sales. The crucial thing to remember here is to offer this facility to your exclusive subscribers. In this way, you can increase your subscribers, as well as your sales. The number of sales is sure to touch the sky.

You should also make sure that you connect with your subscribers at regular intervals of time and make them aware, using emails. Preserving the mails of the subscribers and users comes in very handy here, as, during the holiday season, you can convert these leads to customers and the customers to subscribers. This will immensely help you extend the horizon of your business.

DEALS EXTENSION

Extending the deals past the holidays is a tried and tested method and gives the best results. For example, if your deal is until Cyber Monday, try to extend it for a few more days, not necessary until Christmas. All the same, it can be extended by a day or two. This way, you would extend your reach to customers who have missed the deals and the deadlines and are thus left disappointed. They would only be too glad to grab the second opportunity. Thus, your business is also happy

Usually, there is always a huge rush during the festive season. If you extend the deals by one to two days, the customers would feel happy and you can get customers post-holidays too. People normally skip a lot of things just because of the festive rush and their busy schedule, if they find deals lasting long, this will add a lot in converting the leads to subscribers or loyal customers.

This will help you maintain the scarcity and exclusivity of your promotions and people will feel the difference and consider you to be unique and exclusive. Give the stress and make it look catchy on the days which you have extended.

Thus, the customers who have missed the sale and the amazing deals can still shop. This would make the customer feel they haven’t lost the chance to buy the products with the same deals, discounts etc. As mentioned this, will make you the talk of the town and make your brand a known brand in the mindsets of the viewers, and people will remember you for a long time.

VIP DISCOUNTS, GIFT CARDS, AND HOLIDAY COUPONS

Gift voucher

VIP Discounts are for those who are your Pro-Subscribers or who make a lot of purchases from your online websites. These are your most prized, valued and loyal customers. Make them feel more special and provide them with extra discounts. This can make them feel much exclusive and, there is an increased chance of such customers buying more than the quantity they had planned in their minds – maybe even double, for personal use or for gifting purposes.

Give such exclusive discounts only to the top-end buyers and not to everyone. This would make them feel special and stick to your brand out of loyalty.

You can even surprise the top buyers with gift cards – virtual, physical or even both. This works like wonder. Not only do you gift them, but instead motivate them to gift to their near and dear ones in the festive season. Make them realize that these are the best gifts which they can gift to their family, friends or anyone special to them in these holidays.

Who says we can’t apply the offline tactic online? Of Course, we can. Other than normal coupon codes for discounts, you can go a step forward and gift a holiday trip. You can make a list of your active customers and encourage them to buy and grab a chance to win holiday tickets. Holiday season and holiday tickets? What more would one want? You can even select your top loyal customers and offer them a free holiday trip, with a written personalized note to make them feel even more special. This might not show an immediate result but would be cherished by them for a long time and thus give you a long-lasting output in the long-run.

KEYNOTES

More than these, the human touch – a peppy greeting, a wish from the heart, and a beautiful smile would go a long way. Don’t forget to greet them or wish them this festive season. It will delight them. Always try to make your customers happy with your creative ideas. By this, not only would you make your customers happy and gay, you yourself will stand to be benefitted and gain profits. Make sure to implement all the ideas wisely.

Happy Holidays!!!!

How did Instagram efficiently copy it from SnapChat? This was the thought that first popped-up in everyone’s minds.

Steps to use Instagram Story:

  • When you open your profile, click on the camera icon or the ‘+’ symbol present of the profile picture. It can be clearly seen, when seen in the option “Your Story”.
  • You just have to tap the ‘+’ symbol, it will directly take you to your gallery. From here, you can share photos, videos, gifs – anything you want to share. You only have to choose it from the list of your gallery.
  • It will even show an option of editing where you can choose different editing features.
  • Post editing, you can post your story but here also you will get two options, one is public, which means you can showcase it to all the people. The other option is the private mode, which means your story can be shared with only a limited number of people whom you have selected.

This is much different from the profile picture or the pictures that you upload. It doesn’t have the standard Instagram box, where you can post the stories which are vertically shot. But in this, you can store miscellaneous images, videos or photos, but the mandate is it should be having 1080 pixels width and 1920 pixels height.

After this, in March 2018, Instagram updated its version and released in the market. With the new upgrade, one could pinch the mobile screen and resize the photos, videos etc according to one’s choice.
Keeping aside posting of photos and videos, there are a lot many features present in the Instagram.

Extra features of Instagram

  • Typing Post: The posts that are typing based. While you can also give different backgrounds, that may be colourful or designed per your taste.
  • Boomerang: These are looping videos which last for 1 second.
  • Instagram Live: This is the live streaming on Instagram. It is the in-moment real-time streaming. Here, your viewers can comment on your posts instantaneously, when the streaming starts, and you can answer them in the videos. You can, later post the live stream as your story.

  • Rewind: This means playing everything in a backward motion.
Tools for Instagram content

Using these all options is very helpful in creating content that is not only catchy, but adds to the fun. There are some tools available on the online platform like Canva which helps in creating these wonderful cards for different social media platforms.

How do the Instagram Algorithm works?

Instagram had a huge hype during the early years of its release and during the Instagram story upgrading. After this, the hype of Instagram gradually decreased. The exposure, even in the Instagram Field has been decreasing. Statistics now say that only 10% of the people show interest in brand promotion using Instagram stories.

This condition is very frustrating as people are keen on viewing the posts uploaded by their family, friends, loved ones, celebrities etc. This badly impacts on the Business people, as their aim is to reach a lot of people. Just because of the reducing exposure, the business people are getting badly impacted.

As we all know on Instagram, the algorithm basically depends on engagement and we get that from the Likes, Shares, Comments, Direct Message, posting different things like Videos, pictures, Gifs etc. All those ways which help in interacting with the people and engaging the people on your Instagram page.

When the news of the New Instagram Algorithm came up, it said:

Order of the Videos and the photos in the Instagram Profile will depend on your likelihood. Like the interesting option will come up first. It will also check the connection with the person and the timeline of the post.

Below are some of the tips and tricks that will help in engaging people in the Instagram story.

POST MORE INSTAGRAM STORY

Posting Instagram stories is one way of engaging and grabbing the attention of people. Instagram Stories have dominated the 2018 digital strategy and has become a crucial part in a successful Instagram campaign building. It has more than 300 Million active users in Instagram and looks for good Instagram Story which is twice as popular as snapchat.

This Instagram Algorithm keeps changing with the time and creates an impact on user engagement. Whereas, a number of users spend their time on Instagram Stories, not checking the feeds. The algorithm checks all the details present in your account -all the interactions, Instagram stories, messages sent etc.

More the people interact with your Instagram stories, the more frequently the feeds will show up on the user’s profile.

At times, the Instagram Algorithm even rewards you for interacting with more number of people. Not only is it good to note that the posts with higher engagement get priority in Instagram, but also the fact that It checks everything and can even restrict the users based on their engagement with the people.

Year by year, the number people getting engaged in Instagram is increasing and it becomes very important for the businesses to stay on the top. Especially in the first hour of posting, it reaches the people, else the post visibility may gradually decrease.

FIND THE ACTIVE AUDIENCE AND THEIR ACTIVE TIME

Know the best time to post things, because that is when you will have a huge crowd on the platform. To overcome these things, there are a lot of tools available which will help you in the Instagram Marketing Campaign like iFluenz, Instabrand, AspireIQ

AspireIQ

All these tools calculate the time and select the best time when the users are online. These indicate the right time to post something on the social media. These tools are very helpful.

Similar to Facebook, Instagram also checks the time that a user takes to interact with the people. Else, we can say, it calculates the time taken by the marketers to interact with the users. It determines the popularity of a brand by checking the time spent by a user in viewing a post.

ATTRACTIVE INSTAGRAM CAPTIONS ATTRACT PEOPLE

Having a great and attractive Instagram caption is what makes the people stay in your post and help you beat the Instagram Algorithm. If the cation that you give is more engaging, then there is a 100% chance that people will click on the more option.

That extra second which people spend on your post has the potential to break or make your Instagram Campaign successful, so it is always recommended to spend time on making of the Caption. The above-mentioned tools will also help in writing captions.

My suggestion is to use the human brain because it is more creative. Write the caption for the post. You can even write the captions manually before posting anything as it will save you time.

Instead of opting for Caption, you can even go for the Videos because people find it more interactive and connecting. And people spend a lot of time watching a Video.

Instagram Algorithm rates you on the basis of Hashtags used. This is important, because the hashtags play a crucial role in improving the people engagement. The Instagram algorithm always bears in mind the hashtag and gives more relevance to the hashtags.

Recently, Instagram has removed the hashtags following. Instead, it came up with another aspect in which,

People can mark your content or the hashtags that they don’t want to see in future. They will have an option that they can opt which says “Don’t show for this Hashtags”.

All this throws a challenge to the marketers and makes the work difficult. So, this indicates that the Instagram marketing should be carefully done.

IMPROVE INSTAGRAM STRATEGY

People caption more hashtags then just giving normal sentences. The tools mentioned above makes it easier for you. As it adds the Instagram posts all by itself and you just ave to add the scheduled Instagram post. Rest everything is taken care of by the bot. There are a lot of templates available with mostly used hashtags. Just select the hashtag that suit your content and post it.

Instagram campaign

hashtags

These are the effective hashtags that should be according to the campaign you are running. We can even consider another example given below:

instgram campaign

hashtags

The hashtags should vary according to the campaigns used. Instagram rules keep on changing and the main aim of it is to improve the engagement for a certain post. Whereas, the Instagram Algorithm is present to check such things only.

Now Instagram is considering putting an end to the automated messages like the “Nice Pic” “great” “Very good” etc. All these feed come from an automated bot.
