Scarcity & urgency
Fear of missing out
How it may influence
Suggesting others are moving ahead can make waiting feel like losing.
Evidence to check
- Who exactly is 'everyone', and is there data?
Useful step
Ask yourself whether you needed this before you saw the ad.
When this is reasonable
Sharing a real trend with data can be helpful information.
Tamil Nadu examples (illustrative)
- Online sale: a festival-sale page in Chennai shows "Only 2 left" on a mixer-grinder. Next morning it still says 2.
- Course call: a counsellor says the Coimbatore batch closes tonight and the fee rises tomorrow.
- Showroom: in Madurai, "this colour is the last piece" for a two-wheeler.
