Two scenarios after timer is over
There are two variants of action after the timer is finished. You can choose the timer to disappear from the page, or it can be replaced by a message that you will come up with.
Flexible timer duration
Your countdown timer plugin can be set for any duration of time, with the help of different time units. They include days, hours, minutes, and seconds. Thus you can, for example, turn а year into 365 days, or 2 days in 48 hours. You can show all units or hide those you don’t use in your timer.
Call-to-action to stimulate purchasing
Create a call-to-action, which will build up urgency, make your visitors excited and push them to shop on your website right now. For this use a message above the WordPress Countdown plugin, simply create and type the text and it will show on the page.
Add a button under the Countdown Timer widget, that will direct customers to a purchase page or to any other page you set. Don’t let a single user miss a purchase and shorten the buying journey. You can also edit button label and enter the one that will sound encouraging.
Holiday themes to create the mood
