How to Plan a FOMO Campaign this Diwali to Nitro-boost your Conversion

The countdown to Diwali and Black Friday Cyber Monday (BFCM) has begun, and it's time for Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) brands to light up their sales strategy. One of the most effective ways to do this is by creating FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) campaigns. 

FOMO is a powerful psychological trigger that can attract customers and earn you conversions. And the most effective way to implement FOMO is by using countdown timers strategically. By stimulating interest through WhatsApp messages and then creating urgency countdown timers, you can get those conversions up.
