Anyone who works in the ecommerce space will tell you that the largest factor in overcoming a purchase isn’t price, it’s trust. Buying from a new shopping site takes a leap of faith from a consumer who has never purchased from the site previously.
Trust indicators like extended SSL, third-party security monitoring, and ratings and reviews are all critical on commerce sites because they provide the shopper with a sense that they’re working with a good company that will deliver on their promise. There’s more that you can do, though!
Fomo is the online equivalent of a busy retail store, delivering social proof to everyone who visits your site. This social proof can often boost conversions by 40 to 200%, which is a game changer for any online store. Here’s a screenshot of the Fomo display on an active store:
By displaying sales as they’re happening on your site, you have three advantages over your competitors:
- Create a Sense of Urgency – Fomo displays orders as they happen, making your store an exciting live environment and prompting buyer action.
- Customers Feel Part of the Crowd – Fomo displays are like real-time testimonials for your store – seeing other’s buy builds instant confidence.
- Social Proof + Credibility – Potential customers see purchases being made by others – giving credibility to your store and building trust with the user.
