What is a Countdown Timer?
A countdown timer allows you to count down to a specific date and hour in your campaigns.

Countdown Timer Best Practices
A countdown timer is ideal for driving urgency in your campaigns, especially for your limited-time sales and offers.
You can also consider counting down to a big day, such as a new season, an upcoming product launch, or your Black Friday sale.
With a countdown timer, you can provide delivery information on your store, and let your customers know when they should expect their items, if they place an order today.
