● Live — counts down from your device clock, exactly like a Tickvio email timer

Small Business Saturday lands on the Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend, two days after the holiday. It's the day the spotlight turns to independent and local retailers, and for smaller brands it can be the highest-intent moment of the entire weekend — shoppers are actively looking to buy small.

You don't need a Black Friday-sized discount to win the day; you need a clear reason to act now. A countdown to the end of your Small Business Saturday offer gives your email the same urgency the big-box promos have, without the race to the bottom on price.

From a date to a deadline

Put a real countdown to Small Business Saturday inside your emails.
