Just an observation.
A statue has the following stock options:
Pre-Order
In-Stock
Low-Stock
Waitlist
Sold-out
FOMO is their biggest tool to drive sales. Waitlist is the point where this is the strongest followed by Low-Stock. The fear is Sold-out. But the product is not close to being sold out but rather just moving to pre-order again. Or Sold-out? Or the customer just doesn't know.
I get it we all fall for FOMO. And why not a strategic price increase.
It's the effort to try and justify "my" FOMO as "not" FOMO by the customer that is the true marketing magic.
Fear meet guilt.
