There were various methods employed. One very common one was the promise of refreshments. It as common practice for the Germans to keep the victims dehydrated, this made them less likely to resist, so when they arrived they would be told that after a shower they would recieve some tea and bread, if they behaved.
One common early method at Auschwitz was the offer of work, the officer in charge would ask people what they had done previously, then tell them that there were jobs for people who did that, and that they just needed to shower first, then they could get to work.
Another method was to get fellow Jews (Sonderkommando) to tell them that everything would be ok, they just needed to shower and they had to tie their shoes together so that they didn't lose one whilst they were in the shower (where as they tied them together to make them easier to collect).
