Questions

How much does a countdown timer really lift results?๏ผ‹

It varies by list and offer, but published case studies from ESPs and agencies commonly report a 15โ€“30% lift in click-through when a live countdown is added to a promotional email. This tool defaults to a conservative 20% so you can pressure-test the payback with your own numbers.

Why apply the uplift to click-through rate and not conversion?๏ผ‹

A countdown timer's main job is to compress the decision window, which most directly moves the click โ€” people act now instead of 'later' (i.e. never). We hold your clicker-to-buyer conversion steady and let the extra clicks flow through to orders, which is the conservative way to model it.

Is this calculator free? Do I need an account?๏ผ‹
