Deep dives

Creating Demand Through Scarcity

Implementing scarcity can effectively drive demand for digital products, even those that are infinitely available, such as information products. By introducing a hard cap on the number of courses sold, a business can create a perception of exclusivity and increased value. For instance, establishing a maximum enrollment for a coaching program not only limits the expected number of participants but also enhances the urgency for potential buyers to act quickly. When customers realize they may not have a chance to enroll until the next opening, this FOMO (fear of missing out) further incentivizes them to join when opportunities arise.
