Inventory Scarcity Indicators enable resorts to display scarcity color-coding on the inline calendar based on a predefined threshold that is specific to a particular product. Therefore, thresholds can vary which is helpful for things like lessons which have a much smaller threshold than lift tickets.
Feature Overview
Research shows that creating a sense of urgency for inventoried products is a motivation for guests to purchase, and is proven to drive more revenue and boost conversions. Color coding low inventory dates offers the messaging that creates that sense of urgency.

Displaying Urgency Indicators
To enable resorts to capitalize on the opportunity to offer scarcity messaging, the Inventory Scarcity Indicators feature is offered on the calendar appearing on the product detail page (either inline or drop-down calendar). This feature enables the following functionality:
Display the same low inventory color coding that is available on the full dynamic pricing calendar today across both the large dynamic pricing calendar and the inline calendar displayed on the product detail page.
Offer low inventory color-coding that is available today across more product types, with the introduction of calendar templates that enables the assignment of specific thresholds to specific products.
If a selected date is below the threshold, display the number left on that date on the PDP. This feature can be used to educate guests booking multiple quantities of spots left, for example, a person booking for a party of 4 will now know there are only 2 spots left before adding to cart and can call to get help or choose an alternate date.
Allow unique low inventory thresholds that determine the display of color coding for a specific product or group of products rather than a singular, store-wide threshold.
Display messaging above the calendar of specific products to explain to guests what to do if a date they are interested is sold out or nearing selling out.
