Shopify Time Limited Offer Guide

Shopify time limited offers are one of the most effective ways to boost your sales. In this guide, I will walk you through step-by-step on how to use time limited offers effectively on your Shopify store.

What Are Time Limited Offers?

Time limited offers are special discount campaigns you run for your visitors either exclusively or within a specific time frame. For example, campaigns you run only for Black Friday or Cyber Monday are great examples of time limited offers.

But you don’t have to wait for big campaign periods. You can also offer special time limited deals to your visitors at any time.

Solving the “I’ll Buy It Later” Mindset

According to research by the Baymard Institute, 42.5% of visitors leave the purchase page because they think, “I’ll buy it later.” Source

If the products you sell are not something people urgently need or have to buy right away, there is a large group of potential customers who want your products but decide to buy them later.

The most effective and quick way to turn these silent potential customers into actual buyers is to give them a strong incentive to act now instead of waiting. Time limited offers provide this incentive.

How to Create Time Limited Offers Without Hurting Your Brand Image

When you add a countdown timer to your store, visitors might first think that the timer is not real. Unfortunately, until now, many countdown timers have not been genuine, making time limited offers seem fake. If visitors realize that the time limited offers on your store are not real, it can damage your brand image and you won’t get the desired results from these offers.

There are hundreds of different countdown timer apps, themes, and codes available on Shopify. Unfortunately, most of them start the countdown from the same time every time you visit the store, making the timers seem untrustworthy to visitors.

A Real Shopify Time Limited Offer App: Growth Suite

The Growth Suite app tracks each visitor individually. It recognizes each visitor uniquely, analyzes where and when they visited your store, which products they viewed, and their behaviors.

When visitors show maximum interest in your products, Growth Suite makes a REAL time limited offer to them.

Once a time limited offer starts, a timer that looks like it’s part of your store appears. Additionally, on product pages, the discounted price and the duration of the offer are visible to that visitor.

Growth Suite creates a special discount code just for that visitor and automatically adds it to their cart. This discount code is only valid for a limited time.

When the time is up, Shopify deletes the discount code. The most important point is that the same visitor cannot see any more offers for the next 7 days. This waiting period is called a cooldown period, and you can adjust it as you like in your dashboard.

Everything You Need for Time Limited Offers is Available in Growth Suite

If you want to create time limited offers on your Shopify store, Growth Suite has everything you need.

The best part is that you can start making time limited offers with Growth Suite in just 1 minute.

Install the app from the Shopify App Store, set up your settings, and use AI to create the best discount offers optimized for when your visitors are most likely to buy.

No coding or theme changes are needed. To create a Time Limited Discount Offer, just install the app and make the changes you want through the interface.
