Few week ago, I launched a native ad campaign that tried to create urgency around a limited-time offer.

I crafted headlines that hinted at scarcity and added countdown timers on the landing page. At first, the clicks increased, which felt promising.

I noticed some people seemed skeptical and engagement dropped. I switched to softer language that suggested limited availability without sounding too pushy. I also tested removing the timers to see if it changed how people reacted.

I'm still figuring out how to balance urgency with authenticity. What's the best way to use scarcity in native ads without sounding fake?
