Think About This Would you ever make it to the airport on time if flights didn’t have a set departure time? No. We speed our car, grab coffee on the way and do whatever it takes to make it on time. Why? Because there is a definite deadline attached to the task. We experience fear of missing out and fear of losing money on the tickets. This propels us into fast action. Similarly deadline-based campaigns and stock scarcity make people experience fear of missing out. This acts against their natural procrastination and nudges them to the finish line. Why We Built Finale? Most store owners run campaigns. But they are ineffective without awareness and definitive expiry deadline. We studied several top stores to see what they were doing to clock high conversion rates. And discovered they had the master key to sales i.e. shopper psychology nailed. Here is what Top store owners do to increase conversions: Run Time-bound flash sales Introduce Limited-edition products Announce Exclusive deals of the day and weekend offers Build hype around new launches Create awareness around festive campaigns through visual elements on the store Put up a faster shipment deadline. These well-planned campaigns help them set high sales records. We wanted to bring the same bag o’ nifty conversion hacks to small WooCommerce store owners. And that’s what led to Finale. Also, store owners like you told us they wanted us to build a plugin that could help them run recurring campaigns. They found it a tedious task to go back to the admin panel to re-start campaigns. These demands solidified the core features of Finale. About The Team Finale is backed and supported by a strong team of developers, support engineers and marketers from XLPlugins. The team is constantly updating the plugin and ensuring its compatibility with the latest WooCommerce versions. We’re also coming up with new and varied use cases of Finale and creating short videos around it. Our aim is to educate store owners to make the most of our tools.
