Create urgency with time-limited discounts — effective during Ramadan, White Friday, and National Day.
Go to Marketing → Discounts → Create discount. Set the discount percentage, select the products or collections it applies to, and set a start and end date and time.
In Online Store → Customise → Sections, add a 'Countdown banner' or 'Announcement bar' section. Set the end date and time — the live countdown creates urgency.
Send a 'doors open' WhatsApp blast 1 hour before the flash sale starts. Post countdown Stories on Instagram linking to your store. A teaser 24 hours before can build anticipation.
For truly scarce items, enable inventory limits on the sale products. Show 'Only 5 left' messaging on product pages to amplify urgency.
Keep flash sales under 24 hours — longer windows dilute urgency. Ramadan nights (after Isha) are peak shopping hours in Saudi Arabia.
