Adding a countdown timer to a promotion you’re running helps to create a fear of missing out (FOMO) among some subscribers. Use the countdown SMS message for when you want to run a flash sale that’s only on for a limited time, or for when you have a limited amount of stock available that you need to shift quickly.
Add a sense of urgency to your marketing campaigns by using a countdown timer with a discount code that's automatically applied at checkout.
