Why countdown clocks in emails are (almost) at an end

Scarcity is an age-old sales strategy, time pressure is a variant of it: If you decide too late, you miss out on the good offer. Countdowns sum it up perfectly: As a buyer, I literally see the seconds I have left to make a purchase decision melt away. So it's no wonder that countdown clocks have become very popular not only on shopping sites but also in promotional emails over the last 10 years. They still work well — even though they are no longer a big surprise for most recipients and, in our experience, the desired uplift effect on conversions has diminished over the last few years.

Generate better leads fast

Anyone who knows Publicare and our blog knows that we are very critical of listbroking and instead rely on the efficiency of self-generated leads in the email channel. Together with our customers, we develop strategies for lead generation across all touchpoints, such as websites, online shops, blogs, social media, point of sale, print publications, packaging and inserts. However, organic distribution growth requires resources and time, yet companies often have to achieve short and medium-term growth goals in email marketing. As a result, email marketing managers are constantly faced with the challenge of identifying additional lead sources.

Wash email opt-in addresses with fake PDFs

As an email marketing agency, we offer a variety of services — but not the purchase of email addresses (list broking). We believe in the power of self-won email subscribers and distrust the quality of email addresses, which have been collected through mostly transparent competitions, thin advice websites or the like and equipped with multiple advertising opt-ins for several advertising service providers or advertisers. Not all, but many list brokers use such questionable sources.
