What is a Countdown Timer Banner?

A Countdown Timer Banner is a banner that combines a message with a real-time countdown clock — helping you create urgency and encourage customers to act fast.

To get started: Go to Create Banner → Select Countdown timer.

👉 First time creating a banner? Follow this quick step-by-step guide to learn how to create and publish your first banner.

1. Set up your content

In the Content section, write the main message for your campaign — for example: “Flash Sale ends soon!” or “Get 20% OFF for the next 2 hours!”

You can also tick the Coupon option if you want to show a promo code directly in the banner.

2. Configure the Countdown

Go to the Countdown section to choose how your timer should behave. There are 3 countdown types:

2.1. In specific date/time

Use this option if you want the countdown to run during a fixed time period only.

🛠 How to set it up:

• Start time: When the countdown should begin

• End time: When it should stop

📌 Example:

• Start: July 31, 2025 – 02:23 PM

• End: August 1, 2025 – 02:23 AM

✅ Best for:

• Limited-time promotions

• Holiday campaigns

2.2. Run daily at specific time

This option makes the countdown appear at the same time every day.

🛠 How to set it up:

• From time: When the countdown starts each day

• To time: When it stops daily

📌 Example:

• From: 12:00 AM

• To: 11:59 PM

✅ Best for:

• Daily deals

• Flash sales

• "Today only" campaigns

• Time-limited daily events

2.3. Run in certain interval

Use this for repeating countdown cycles with a pause in between.

🛠 How to set it up:

• Start time: When the first countdown starts

• Countdown length: How long each countdown runs

• Break length: How long the countdown hides before restarting

📌 Example:

• Start: July 31, 2025 – 02:23 PM

• Countdown runs for 31 days

• Breaks for 31 days

▶️ What happens: The countdown will run for 31 days, then pause for 31 days, and repeat this cycle automatically.

✅ Best for:

• Monthly recurring campaigns

• Evergreen offers

• Automating sales cycles

🎨 Customize your Countdown Display

After choosing a countdown type, you can customize its look and feel:

• Time format: Choose your time format dd:hh:mm:ss hh:mm dd:hh:mm hh:mm:ss mm:ss

• Action after timer ends: Select what happens when the countdown ends:

  • Show 00:00:00

  • Or hide the entire banner

• Adjust font size, color

• Adjust label names

🧠 Tips & Best Practices

• Use Schedule conditions to refine when your banner shows. For example: If you select "Run daily at specific time" but want it to appear only on Mondays and Tuesdays, combine it with "Display in fixed time range" in the Schedule settings.
