The ‘fear of missing out’? How to use FOMO in Social Media Marketing?

How many of us know about FOMO marketing? Let us share with you 6 worthy insights about FOMO and how they can excite your customers to make reactive purchases.

1. FOMO stands for ‘fear of missing out’. Missing out of what? It is a perception that other people have better things, more fun or better experience than you. Hence, create a feeling that you also want what other people are having now.

2. FOMO marketing creates a sense of urgency and scarcity. How? You can impart fear to your target audience to market your products and services. Let them feel, they are going to lose an amazing opportunity if they don’t take it now. For example, be the first 50 customers to get a special free gift.

There are free lockers to put away the bags or just leave i...
