The Low Stock Alert feature in Notify Me! gives you the flexibility to apply low inventory warnings to specific products in your store. By doing so, you can focus on highlighting high-demand or fast-selling items, creating a sense of urgency and encouraging customers to make a purchase before the item is sold out.
Why Apply Low Stock Alerts to Specific Products?
Target Popular Items: Some products tend to sell out faster than others. Applying Low Stock Alerts to these items helps drive more sales by encouraging customers to act quickly.
Avoid Overwhelming Customers: Not all products benefit from scarcity tactics. Applying alerts selectively ensures you only highlight the products that need a push, preventing unnecessary alerts from cluttering your store.
Seasonal or Limited Edition Products: Scarcity is especially powerful for products that are part of a limited edition or seasonal collection. By showcasing low stock warnings on these items, you can boost sales while creating a sense of exclusivity.
How to Apply Low Stock Alerts to Specific Products
Navigate to the Low Stock Section:
In your Notify Me! app, go to the Low Stock section from the sidebar.
Go to Settings:
In Low Stock tab click on Settings to go to the settings page.
Select 'Applies to':
Under the Applies To setting, you’ll see two options:
All in-stock products: This applies the low stock alert across your entire inventory.
All in-stock products, except any items from…: This allows you to exclude certain products from receiving the alert.
Excluding Specific Products:
If you want to apply the alert to most products but exclude a few specific ones, choose the option to exclude items from the alert. You can manually add the products that should not display low stock alerts.
Product-Specific Settings:
If you want to highlight only certain products, simply adjust the stock counter threshold for each item based on its sales velocity or strategic importance. This ensures that the alert appears when the inventory for those specific products drops below your desired level.
Save Your Settings:
After selecting the products you want to apply or exclude from the low stock alert, save your settings. The widget will automatically appear for these items when their stock falls below the threshold.
Benefits of Specific Product Alerts:
Precise Inventory Management: By applying the Low Stock Alert to selected products, you can create more targeted marketing strategies and restocking plans.
Customer Experience Control: This feature allows you to enhance the shopping experience by focusing on the products that matter most, without overwhelming customers with constant alerts.
Customizable Triggers: You can set different stock levels for each product, allowing you to control exactly when the low stock alert is shown, depending on the product’s sales patterns.
By selectively applying low stock alerts, you create urgency around the products that need it most, boosting conversion rates while giving customers an optimized and focused shopping experience.
