Start/End of an Offer

Let’s start with an obvious use of the countdown module – Promotional Offers. Since there is a sense of urgency attached to the timers, marketers use it to display the time left before their promotional offer ends. In fact, this is one such marketing technique which is quite effective and helps in boosting the overall conversion rate.

Timer Before the Launch of a New Product

Complete your product launch strategy with a timer on your website. When you have a countdown related to your product launch, it attracts traffic on your website. This happens because people are quite eager to know the time left for the product launch.

Countdown for Coupons

Generate personalized discount coupons for some of your loyal customers and redirect them to a specific section of your website. Also, you can make a new section for this cluster. Place a countdown timer that shows the time left for these customers to use their coupons. The countdown is sure to encourage your customers to make a purchase on your portal using their promotional coupon.

Winner Announcement

You held a contest recently and now you are all set to announce its winner. But how about displaying a timer before announcing the winner? When you have a timer on display before you make the name of the winner public, it helps in building and boosting the traffic on your website. The participants of the contest will frequently land on your portal to check the time left for the winner announcement. On the whole, it’s a great traffic building stratagem that could even convert some of your visitors into customers.

Timer for VIP Access

If there is an online shopping festival coming up on your website and if you wish to give exclusivity to some of your customers around the launch, do host a VIP launch on your portal. You can give early access to some of the visitors or customers to the shopping festival. But make sure to have a timer before the start of the access/launch. The same can help in generating and holding the excitement of those with the VIP pass holder.

Free Delivery Countdown

Free delivery of products to certain pin codes is one such marketing tactic that is used by a large number of marketers. It is really a sales booster and helps in converting a large number of website visitors into loyal customers. Deploy this technique to shoot up your sales figure by several notches higher. However, add a timer to the same promotional scheme to further hike your sales owing to its ‘urgency’ factor.

Wrapping Up
