Improve Your Email CTR With Countdown Timers

Encourage your audience to take action by including a countdown timer in your emails

How is our countdown timer service best used?

  1. Time-sensitive events — Are you looking to launch a webinar or promote a brand-new product? Create urgency and provide your customers with a specific deadline.
  2. Discount and coupons — Have you been running coupons and discounts that don’t get redeemed? Give your customers a limited timeframe to redeem to drive swift action.
  3. Holiday sales — Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Halloween, and Christmas sales email campaigns can all use countdown timers to drive engagement and help boost sales.
  4. Special offers — Help your target buyers to decide by giving them an accurate representation of how long they have left to take action.
