Do you want to use Ontraport FOMO notifications to increase your sales? Adding FOMO is a quick way to create demand for your products.<\/p>\n
And if you\u2019re using Ontraport to sell online, you can show FOMO notifications every time someone makes a purchase. This means when potential customers land on your site, they’ll see people just like them buying your products.<\/p>\n
Successful eCommerce sites display this type of activity notifications to build trust and create anticipation.<\/p>\n
The best part is you can set up FOMO notifications in less than five minutes without writing any code.<\/p>\n
In this tutorial, we\u2019ll look at the simplest method to create Ontraport FOMO notifications that boost your sales.<\/p>\n
Ontraport is a marketing and sales automation software that makes it easy for small businesses to sell online. Using Ontraport, you can design order forms in a drag and drop builder, and you\u2019ll have complete control over the payment gateways you use.<\/p>\n
Ontraport also lets you turn any landing page into a checkout page. It\u2019s as simple as adding the embed code of your order form to your site.<\/p>\n
So, where do FOMO notifications fit in?<\/p>\n
Each time a new Ontraport customer makes a purchase, you can display a notification on your website.<\/p>\n
Your site visitors will see the recent sale notification as a small popup. <\/p>\n
These notifications attract your site visitor’s attention without interrupting them. And though they’re tiny, FOMO popups increase conversions by as much as 15%.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But, why do they work so well?<\/p>\n
FOMO notifications are based on a proven psychology concept, the Fear of Missing Out. As humans, we\u2019re wired to want to be involved in things. We don\u2019t like the idea of losing out on an interesting or valuable experience.<\/p>\n
Smart companies take advantage of this basic human behavior trait with FOMO marketing<\/a> campaigns.<\/p>\n If your site visitors see other people buying, they’ll want to check out your products too. The assumption is that people must be benefitting from what you’re selling.<\/p>\n Another reason live notifications work well is that showing recent sales is a powerful form of social proof<\/a>. Social proof adds credibility to your online store because you’re able to show real people are buying from you.<\/p>\n Legitimate social proof tools show the customer’s first name and location, so it’s clear these are actual sales.<\/p>\n In sum, FOMO is effective for building trust and boosting sales.<\/p>\n Today, we\u2019ll look at how you can create FOMO notifications like the one created below.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In this tutorial, we will be using TrustPulse<\/a>.<\/p>\n TrustPulse is the best social proof tool for creating real FOMO notifications because it offers:<\/p>\n TrustPulse only shows verified sales, so you’ll never have to worry about ruining your brand with fake social proof.<\/a><\/p>\n Don\u2019t have an account yet?

After you\u2019ve logged in, click Create Campaign<\/strong> from the dashboard.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now, you\u2019ll need to give your campaign a title and assign it to your website.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The next step is to decide which type of FOMO notification you want to display.<\/p>\n And here are your options:<\/p>\n Recent Activity<\/strong> is great for showing a live stream of your purchases. So, it will display a notification each time you get a new Ontraport customer.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n On-fire<\/strong> campaigns show the number of customers who make purchases over a specific time period. These work well for flash sales or time sensitive offers.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Today, we\u2019ll go with Recent Activity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Click Next Step<\/strong>.<\/p>\n We\u2019re ready to customize our notification.<\/p>\n In this step, you can change the notification’s color, message text, size, and more.<\/p>\n You\u2019ll see TrustPulse has an easy to use editor.<\/p>\n You can customize your notification to match your brand in minutes instead of hours.<\/p>\n You\u2019ll be able to change:<\/p>\n A live preview in the bottom browser window will show your changes in real-time.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Pay special attention to the message link and notification image. For the message link, make sure you\u2019re directing your customer to the product page. And add an image of your product to grab your customer\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n From the Appearance and Design<\/strong> tab, you can also customize:<\/p>\n Use the Advanced Settings<\/strong> to customize your fonts, colors, background, and more.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Once you\u2019re happy with your design, select Next Step<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now, you\u2019re ready to select the site activity you want your FOMO notification to show.<\/p>\n In the Capture Activity<\/strong> tab, you\u2019ll see two options:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Here’s a breakdown of how these methods work.<\/p>\n AutoMagic<\/strong> automatically records form submissions from across your website. Zapier tracks activity off your site from more than 1,000 sources. Using Zapier, you can display social proof notifications from across the web, like Google or Yelp reviews.<\/p>\n In this example, we will use AutoMagic<\/strong> because we\u2019re embedding our Ontraport order form directly into our eCommerce site.<\/p>\n So, select AutoMagic<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now, you\u2019re able to target the site activity you want to capture. AutoMagic lets you capture form activity on all pages, specific URLs, and more.<\/p>\n If you want to capture site activity for a specific page, click Form Activity from exact URLs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Next, add your URL and click +.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Click Next Step<\/strong> when you\u2019re done.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In this step, you can decide where to show your FOMO notification.<\/p>\n And, you can display your recent sale on all pages or specific pages.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You can also refine your notification settings, like:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Once you\u2019re happy with your notification settings, click Next Step<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You\u2019re ready to publish your notification.<\/p>\n Publishing your Ontraport FOMO notification is simple and takes only a few minutes.<\/p>\n On the Publish<\/strong> screen, your campaign might not be connected yet.<\/p>\n If you’re using WordPress, you simply need to download and activate the TrustPulse plugin.
