Announce it with a 'will sell out' warning, set a real inventory cap, and let scarcity do the work. The customer buys the card and then spends it on full-price products.\nWhat that means for you: if you run DTC, test a steep flash discount on a gift card or a high-margin bundle (not your whole product line). 40%+ off on a specific SKU or a seasonal bundle creates the scarcity feeling without tanking your brand perception — it feels limited, not desperate.
