Deep dives

Utilizing Scarcity to Drive Interest

Creating a sense of scarcity can effectively boost attendance for events by controlling supply rather than demand. Limiting ticket availability encourages potential attendees to act quickly, as they perceive that fewer spots are available. For instance, rather than offering 100 tickets for a workshop, one might limit the offering to 60 or 70, which positions the event as exclusive. This tactic not only fosters a sense of urgency but also creates a waitlist, further enhancing the perception of demand and exclusivity.
