What is the secret of the impact of temporary offers on sales Find out and increase demand in record time

In the world of e-commerce, especially in Saudi Arabia, competition is not easy. New stores enter the market every day, and every customer has thousands of options.
In this crowded market, what makes a customer decide to buy from you now?
The answer is simple: temporary offers.
Flash sales are not just a way to attract attention; they are one of the most powerful ways to stimulate purchasing decisions and increase your store's sales in a short period of time.
Let's explore together how this type of offer can change the game for your store.
1. Flash sales create a sense of urgency.
When a customer sees a phrase like:
"Offer ends in 48 hours" or "Discount today only," they begin to feel they need to buy now before the offer is too late.
This feeling is called "urgency," and it's one of the most powerful decision-making drivers in marketing.
2. They directly increase conversion rates.
Without an offer, a customer can enter the store, browse, and leave.
However, with a clear temporary offer on the homepage or on the product, the percentage of people who complete the purchase increases significantly, especially if the discount is attractive and limited in time.
3. An opportunity to liquidate stagnant products
Do you have products in stock that haven't moved?
Use a smart temporary offer (such as "buy one, get the second at half price"), and you'll notice how the products sell faster, freeing up inventory for new items.
4. Increases engagement with your store
Flash sales are an excellent way to attract repeat visitors.
If you get your customers used to "weekend offers" or "temporary seasonal offers," they'll come back to your store regularly, even if they weren't planning to buy initially.
5. Enhances your store's image as an active entity
When customers notice that your store always has temporary offers, they feel like it's alive and well, and constantly being updated.
This gives them the impression that you care about the customer and want to offer them value for money.
6. You can reach new customers.
Flashbacks spread quickly, whether through social media or even sponsored ads.
If the offer is truly compelling, it will generate widespread exposure and attract customers who previously didn't know about your store.
7. They're ideal for Saudi occasions.
The Saudi market is full of occasions and ideal opportunities for flashbacks, such as:
• National Day
• End-of-Year Offers
• Ramadan and Eid
• Black Friday
And many others... Every occasion is a golden opportunity to launch a smart flashback.
8. Just be careful: Don't overdo it without a strategy.
It's true that flashbacks are effective, but if you use them unplanned or excessively, customers may become accustomed to the discounts and won't buy unless they see a deal.
The solution?
Use flashbacks during specific periods, with well-thought-out plans, and link them to clear goals such as increasing sales or clearing inventory.
