What are Countdown Timers?

Countdown Timers show the time remaining up to an end date – like your limited sale.

Everybody loves a sale, there is something magical about getting a bargain. It was proven that even if people know that most sales are ‘staged’, people still buy more because it makes them feel good. Of course, the effect is even more powerful when you get a real discount and you know it because the price of the product is definitely lower than it was.

In either case, having a countdown timer to show you have a sale on is perfect because people have busy lives, and they can forget about your sale event.

Why Use Countdown Timers?

  • Countdown timers give shoppers a clear reason to act now instead of later.
  • Add urgency to your emails.
  • Add FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) to your emails.
  • Ultimately, increase the revenue you generate.
