Showing a low stock alert on your online store creates urgency and demand for your product. The consumer feels as if the product is amazing and has been sold enough times that it is now about to end.

It is a proven way of boosting your sales and that is why almost every other online store uses this technique to push their consumers further into buying their product.

In this tutorial, we will help you understand the benefits of Low Stock Warning and the way of enabling it on your WooCommerce store.

Why Should You Display Low Stock Warnings

Online stores have been using this technique for a while now to increase their conversions. Even the biggest of online stores such as Amazon, use this technique to increase their sales.

These low stock alerts appear as a popup on your website alerting the users that the product is about to end and they should buy it as soon as possible.

It is proven that Low Stock Warnings can boost your sales up to 15% and that is exactly why you should start using them now.

These type of popups trigger human behaviour by displaying scarcity and creating urgency, both of which demand the consumer to act.

By creating urgency, you demand your consumer to speed up their decision making. You make them feel that the product they want to buy is not going to be there for long and they need to be quick and decisive in hitting the Buy Now button.

Simultaneously, scarcity implements that the product they want to buy is short in supply and if they don't buy it now, they might not be able to buy it afterwards.

Both of these scenarios blend in to urge the consumer in taking a positive decision and hence, help you increase your sales.
