Moosend is one of the most affordable email marketing platforms available, starting at just $9/month with no feature restrictions. It’s popular among budget-conscious ecommerce brands and SMBs who want marketing automation without the enterprise price tag. Moosend’s own blog discusses countdown timers as a conversion tactic — here’s how to actually implement them using Tickvio.
This guide covers embedding Tickvio timers in Moosend emails for both campaigns and automations.
A free Tickvio account and a Moosend account. Together, this is one of the most cost-effective email urgency stacks available — Moosend starting at $9/month and Tickvio’s free plan at $0.
Log in to Tickvio and create a timer. Choose your type:
Fixed date — shared deadline for flash sales, seasonal promotions, and product launches.
Evergreen — personal deadline per subscriber for automated flows.
Recurring — auto-resets for weekly or monthly deals.
Customise the design (28+ styles), set your expiry state, and copy the HTML embed code.
In Moosend, create a new campaign or edit an automation email. Open the drag-and-drop editor.
In the content panel, find the Custom HTML element (or "Code" block). Drag it into your email where you want the timer.
Click the block, paste the Tickvio embed code, and save. The timer appears as a live animated countdown.
Preview across devices and send a test email. Check our inbox support guide for rendering across email clients.
Moosend offers pre-built automation recipes for common ecommerce flows. Countdown timers enhance each one:
Cart abandonment: Add an evergreen timer to cart recovery emails: "Your items are reserved for 2 hours." See our cart abandonment guide.
Welcome series: Evergreen timer with a first-purchase discount expiring 48 hours after signup.
Product recommendation: Moosend’s AI-powered product recommendations + a countdown timer = personalised urgency. "These picks expire in 24 hours" drives faster clicks.
Weather-based campaigns: Moosend supports weather-triggered emails. Combine a "heat wave sale" trigger with a fixed-date timer for contextual urgency.
Budget powerhouse: Moosend at $9/month + Tickvio free plan = professional email urgency for under $10/month total. No other combination offers this much for this little.
Pre-built recipes: Moosend’s automation recipes include cart abandonment, browse abandonment, and upsell flows. Add a timer to any of these by editing the email and inserting the Custom HTML block.
Landing pages: Moosend includes a landing page builder. Use the same Tickvio timer on both your email and landing page for consistent urgency.
Reporting: Moosend tracks opens, clicks, and conversions per campaign. Compare performance on timer vs non-timer campaigns to measure impact.
Create your free Tickvio timer — 20,000 views/month, all timer types, no branding. Pair with Moosend for the most affordable urgency-powered email marketing setup available.
