    1. Timer for a discount period

    If you’re running a sale or discount promotion on your website, adding a website countdown feature gets your visitors clamoring to make purchases before the time is up. Limited time offers can be very difficult to pass up on so make sure you have the clock prominently displayed on your site.

  • Best Practices for Website Countdown Features

    1. Personalize your timer according to your website colors and fonts for continuity.
      Third-party apps usually have customization options so you can create countdown widgets for websites that are aligned with the look and feel of your site.
       

    2. Use the time labels for the timer, down to seconds.
      It might seem obvious but it’s best to add the days, hours, minutes and seconds labels on your timer design.
       

    3. Be strategic with the use of timers.
      Countdowns of specific events are more impactful than using a clock on every campaign that you’re running on your website.
       

    4. Add a call to action.
      Most marketers forget the CTA. A countdown website exists to create urgency and conversion but you have to tell people what to do.
       

    5. Don’t forget to replace the image after the timer has expired.
      Add a rule builder instruction that displays a different message after the time has run out.
