Countdown timers are great for creating urgency and getting people to act quickly by showing how much time is left before an offer or deadline ends. To be most effective, make sure the timer on your funnel page matches the one in your emails. This consistency helps keep your message clear and encourages people to take action.

Code Block Timer: Countdown Timer's copy code pasted in the Code block
