Build a free countdown timer for your emails

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use the countdown timer in my email?

First, pick a date and time, then select your font and colors. Once you are satisfied with your selections, fill out the rest of the form, including your email address. We’ll email you the html code to use in your email.

Why does it stop after a minute?

The point of the countdown timer is to drive action on your emails. Most people only spend about 11 seconds in any given email. So, one minute will give them more than enough time to click-out and get to the destination you select.

Can I have more than one countdown timer?

You may have as many countdown timers as you like! Limit one per email.

Can I make the countdown timer bigger?

We do not provide you with this option. If you manually alter the code to make the timer bigger, it may cause your timer to become blurry.

I work for an agency, can I use this for all my clients?

You must only use the timer with the company name you listed in the form above. To use a countdown timer for a new company, you need to create a new timer with the name of the company you wish to use it for. Agencies must sign up for each company they represent and want to use the timer for. For more info, please read our terms and conditions.
