In 2004, Patrick McGinnis, a Harvard MBA student, popularized the term when he published an article in the Harvard Business School student newspaper, The Harbus, called, "Social Theory at HBS: McGinnis’s Two FOs."

FOMO and marketing FOMO marketing triggers the customer’s fear of missing out in order to inspire them to take action. Popular FOMO marketing strategies include: Showing other people, including celebrities, buying the target product. Displaying a clock counting down until the promotion expires. Creating competition by revealing how many other people are looking at the deal.
