In this concise marketing monologue, Jimmy Kim explains why including a clear end date or deadline in promotional emails is essential for driving immediate purchases. He argues that without urgency or scarcity cues—such as limited‑time coupons, limited quantities, or past‑sale references—prospects will hesitate, compare alternatives, or simply postpone buying. By leveraging psychological triggers like FOMO (fear of missing out) and presenting legitimate scarcity (e.g., "sold out previously, now back in stock"), marketers can convert desire into action. The segment ends with a brief call‑to‑action encouraging listeners to subscribe to the podcast.
