HurryTimer – An Scarcity and Urgency Countdown Timer for WordPress & WooCommerce

Description

HurryTimer is a multi-purpose countdown timer that allows you to create urgency and scarcity that drives clicks, increases sales, and highlights upcoming events or deadlines.

Use HurryTimer to create:

Evergreen campaigns:
Give each visitor their own unique countdown timer regardless of their local timezone and the moment they visited your site.

It’s a great way to boost conversion by creating a feeling of scarcity, urgency and exclusivity.

One-time Campaigns:
Run a campaign between two fixed dates. No matter who visits your site the countdown timer is the same. It’s a great way for event-based sales with a firm deadline.

[PRO] Recurring campaigns:
Recurring campaigns are self repeating countdown timers that run according to a set of rules.

It’s great way for telling customers about shipping cut-off times to get them to checkout faster.

You can schedule minutely, hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly recurrences.

Reviews

يونيو 20, 2024
The themes that I use sometimes offer a countdown timer as one of their features, but usually they do not offer a “month” option – only days, hours, minutes, and seconds. HurryTimer gives me a month option which I use on long projects, or placeholder pages for projects that might not even be started. And, the plugin is super easy to use! Five stars from me.
