Overview
If you want to create a sense of urgency and scarcity on your website, a countdown timer is the perfect tool. A tiny bit of anticipation can boost sales in a big way. In fact, a small countdown timer can increase conversion by 8.6%!
Anyone with an ecommerce website can reap the rewards of our countdown timer. Whether it’s to create urgency during sales periods, or help shift less popular products year-round, it’s the ideal way to draw attention to your special deals.
Our widget makes it easy to get started. We have a choice of templates, or you can build from scratch. No matter what option you choose, you can customise every aspect of your timer to suit your needs. You can also add a custom link to a registration page, video, or guide once your timer has finished.
Benefits
The most lucrative benefits to a countdown timer are:
- Create a sense of urgency: Urgency and scarcity are both known to encourage sales and increase conversion.
- Help shift old/less-popular stock: If you have old stock that you need to sell, you can use a countdown timer on your product pages to influence sales.
- Build hype around new products: They aren’t just for sales! Using countdown timers to reveal new products is an awesome way to build hype.
- Boost engagement and interaction: Countdown timers look great too! Embedding one to your website can make visitors excited and engaged.
Best Suited For
Countdown timers are versatile, though they suit ecommerce websites best. No matter what you sell, whether it’s products, services or courses, a countdown timer is a great tool to have! You can also them countdown to album releases, free next day delivery etc.
