FAQs

How do countdown timers increase conversions?

Countdown timers create urgency and FOMO (fear of missing out). Studies show they can increase conversions 8-10% by: emphasizing scarcity, encouraging immediate action, building anticipation, and making deadlines concrete. Most effective for limited-time offers.

Where should I use countdown timers?

Use countdowns for: product launches (build hype), flash sales (drive urgency), webinar registrations (remind signups), event dates (increase attendance), course enrollments (deadline pressure), and pre-orders (generate excitement). Avoid overuse - causes "urgency fatigue".

What countdown timer tools are best?

Popular tools: Deadline Funnel (marketing automation), Hurrify (Shopify app), Countdown Timer (WordPress plugin), TickCounter.com (free embeds), Pure CSS timers (custom code). For websites, use JavaScript libraries like FlipClock or Countdown.js.

Should countdown timers reset or stay at zero?

For real deadlines (sales end, events): stay at zero to maintain trust. For recurring offers: reset but be transparent. Fake urgency damages credibility. If you reset, clearly communicate "next sale starts" or use evergreen timers showing personal deadlines.

How do I display countdowns across time zones?

Convert to user's local timezone using JavaScript (get browser timezone). Show deadline in UTC and let browser convert. Or display in specific timezone with label: "Ends 11:59 PM EST". Tools like moment-timezone.js handle this automatically.

What is an evergreen countdown timer?

Evergreen timers show personalized deadlines based on when each visitor first saw the offer (e.g., "Offer expires in 72 hours from your visit"). Used in email marketing and sales funnels. More flexible than fixed deadlines but requires tracking technology.
