That's 40 weeks and 4 days to go.

Everything applies to the counter live, and rides along in the link and the embed code.

A countdown next to the offer is the oldest trick in retail because it works. Set when the sale starts or ends, then embed it on the product page.
Pick your date in the picker above. The link you get back carries the date, this background and every colour you changed.

Urgency without a number is just a claim. A clock that anyone can check is a fact, and shoppers can tell the difference.
- A 72 hour sale is 4,320 minutes. Showing the seconds makes the last hour feel like the last hour.
- Counting to the end of a sale usually converts better than counting to the start.
- Hide the seconds and pick the small size if the counter sits inside a product page rather than a banner. ⏳

Questions people ask
Can I match the counter to my shop's colours?
Yes. Every colour is adjustable and rides along in the embed code.
Does the embed slow my page down?
It is a plain iframe with no third-party scripts, and it loads lazily by default.
