>> - Saying there are just a handful items left in stock (+2.9% revenue per client) I appreciate this one, as long as it's actually true. Many times I've been on the fence about something, come back the next to to find out it was gone and wasn't going to be restocked. Knowing would have changed my decision. On the other hand, sometimes I've bought something and the number claimed to be in stock didn't change for months after. THAT'S a dick move. Same with #2. Time limited offers make sense when you're trying to attract attention or compete with other sales (e.g. opening day sales, Black Friday, etc.) Some brick-and-mortar stores have time-limited offers constantly, and then it's clearly just manipulative.
