But isn't that true of pretty much anything? The problem for shoppers is that it's almost impossible to know if what you're being told is true, and most people have been burned by scummy sales practices too much to trust what a site is telling them since there's usually no way to verify it. Is the stock really low? Is the sale really about to end? How would the shopper know whether it is or whether it's a lie to trick them?
- yarcob 6y agoPeople aren't stupid. People may fall for these tricks once or twice, but then they realize it's a trick, and they go shop somewhere else. The sites that treat their customers like idiots need to constantly find new victims. Sites that treat their customers with respect may not have as high conversion rates for new customers, but the existing customers will go there again.
