Make your next deadline
hard to miss.
Show shoppers how long an offer lasts, or help guests count down to your event. Create a timer in your brand's style and add it to the emails you already send.
Make the countdown
part of your campaign.
A weekend sale can carry the same photography, type and colors as the rest of your email. Use Timer Studio to place the countdown within that artwork, with time components arranged where they make sense for your design.
Upload your fonts and images. Move and layer the numbers, text and shapes yourself, from a full campaign image to a vertical countdown.
Try Timer Studio
Draw the eye
to the time left.
Give a sale reminder a moving detail. Animate the numbers or another layer in step with the countdown, while keeping the offer and deadline readable.
Choose blink, rotate, waggle or alternating colors. Add outlines, shadows, gradients and glow to individual layers to suit the campaign.
Show the time left
at a glance.
Pair the countdown with a ring or bar that changes as the seconds pass. It gives an event reminder or launch announcement a visual way to show time alongside the numbers.
Use radial progress, circular ticks, pie charts or linear bars, tied to a days, hours, minutes or seconds component.
Keep the offer
in the spotlight.
Already have the email designed? Add a compact countdown near the offer or registration link. A simple strip can make the remaining time visible without taking over the campaign.
Choose the units you need, then match the colors and type. These examples range from plain numbers to hours, minutes and seconds in a more expressive design.
Use the words
your audience knows.
Keep one timer design across your language versions. Set the wording for days, hours, minutes and seconds so the countdown belongs in the email around it.
Create your translations, link the text labels to them, and supply the language for each audience through the timer URL. Preview each version before sending.
Match each send
to its campaign.
Reuse the layout when a seasonal offer or audience segment needs a different palette. Change text and background colors without rebuilding the timer.
Color and background parameters let your email platform supply the palette through the image URL. The examples show the same layout in several color combinations.
Set the deadline
your campaign needs.
A sale has one closing time. A trial or reward may expire on a different date for each person. Choose the timing that matches the offer in your email.
Mark the time
since a milestone.
Celebrate time since a launch or a customer's anniversary. Count Up mode turns the chosen date into a start date and shows the elapsed time.
Keep the same fonts, artwork and animation controls. A future start date displays zero until that moment arrives.
Bring the timer
into your next send.
Start with a campaign you have planned. Keep the offer and its deadline in the email copy, then use the timer to make the remaining time visible.
Design and set the date
Choose your layout, add your artwork and set the timing. Preview the countdown and check the time zone.
Add the hosted image
Copy the timer's image URL into your email builder's image block or HTML. Add recipient fields if the date, language or colors change by audience.
Test the email
Send a test through your platform. Check the timer, offer link and what appears after the deadline before sending the campaign.
What recipients see
The timer is generated when its image is requested. Email apps may preload or cache that image, and some show a still frame instead of the animation. Test in the email apps your audience uses; a later open may reuse an earlier image.
Give your next offer
a visible deadline.
Build a timer in your brand's style and put it beside an offer worth coming back for.
