What is Countdown Timer?

What does 'Countdown Timer' mean?

On a landing page, a countdown timer is a virtual clock that counts down from a specific number or date to signal the start or end of an event or offer. Because "time is running out," this page element helps to create urgency and generate more conversions. Countdown timers are also be used to count down to a specified day and time when an offer becomes available. According to a study, adding a countdown timer to a website increased income by 9% on average. It might not seem like a significant gain to some, but when you consider the number of people who visit your site, you'll see how much of a difference nine percent can make.
