Sales Countdown Timer

A Sales Countdown Timer is used to create a sense of urgency and scarcity around a particular product or promotion. It displays a ticking clock that counts down the remaining time before a deal or discount expires, encouraging customers to make a purchasing decision quickly before the offer ends. Additionally, countdown timers can trigger impulse purchases, boost sales for clearance items or limited inventory, and serve as an effective retargeting strategy for customers who abandon their carts.
