β Live β counts down from your device clock, exactly like a Tickvio email timer
The Soldes d'hiver are France's official winter sales β a regulated, nationwide discount season set by the government. They open on the second Wednesday of January (or the first Wednesday, if the second falls after the 12th) and run for four weeks, so the start date shifts each year. This countdown always tracks the next opening from your device clock, down to the second.
Few retail windows are this clearly defined β a fixed national start date that shoppers actively wait for. A live countdown timer turns 'the Soldes start soon' into a ticking clock to opening day that updates the moment each subscriber opens. Use the count below to plan your teaser, opening-day and final-markdown sends across the four-week season.
