In this article, you will learn about Count Down elements and how to use them to create highly converting pages.
What Is a Count down Element?
A countdown timer can be defined as a virtual clock that counts down from a certain date or number to indicate the end or beginning of an offer or event.
A countdown timer is used to create a sense of urgency and to persuade a customer to take immediate action. By giving the impression of scarcity and setting a deadline for your customers, they’re more likely to take action.
Since Count Down element is a child element of the Product module, it should be placed in a Product Module's field to work properly.
You can quickly find the element on the left sidebar of the editor page.
