The great and well-loved countdown timer for email just got a major revamp. For years marketers have been using countdown timers in email but it’s been a hot minute since Timers got a serious upgrade. You’ll find multiple providers on the market offering varying levels of countdown timer design customisation and functionality. But here’s where you’ll find the latest, all singing, all dancing, top-of-the-range Countdown timers for email that will wow your audience.
Traditional email timers promise a 30 second tick experience, delivered via an animated gif, one frame per second, to create the ticking effect. Whilst we know that timers like that deliver results, we’ve decided to supercharge our email timers with all of the added extras.
Here’s some of the awesome features you’ll find as standard:
- Add your brand colours and fonts then set up timer design properties (time part colours, label colours etc.)
- Use your preset design mapping to auto-generate a perfectly branded template. You just need to set the size you want – we’ll do the rest!
- Complete design customisation – create your own timer in our advanced design lab
- Customise how long your timer ticks for 30/35/65 seconds
- Countdown, count up, personalised end time and restart daily or weekly options
- MPP & expiry image support – with href control to direct clicks wherever you need

Additional Timer Features
We’ve also focused on improving the subscriber experience once the timer has finished ticking. The standard experience to this point has been for the timer to simply stop after 30 seconds and display the static time remaining, or to loop the timer, showing the same 30 second loop until the image is refreshed. You can now control the time the countdown or count up animation ticks for. Once the timer has expired, switch to a different image altogether.
We’ve also made a heap of improvements to speed, quality and load time so you can rest assured that you’ll be delivering a A+ experience.
