Surfacing product availability to power social proof messaging

Who:

One of Africa’s largest online retailers

Strategy:

Hypothesis:

Understanding that other people are looking at or have bought an item plays an important role in validating a customer’s own decision to buy it as well. Uncertain customers naturally find comfort in a greater collective, and if brands can create the impression that everyone is buying a product, there’s a strong likelihood they will too. One way to accomplish this is by inserting a notification that directly references how many times the product has been viewed or purchased in the last week, incentivizing shoppers to complete their purchase and increasing purchase rates.
