Cool idea to build hype for a sale or product drop before it even starts… > Run a countdown timer in your emails leading up to it. Most brands only use these during a sale to count down when the discount expires > Put it in every send leading up to launch. Best part is you can keep the same timer in each one so you're not building anything new. > Then print cash on launch day because you've spent a week building hype @omnisend just shipped countdown timers in-platform as a native block. All you do is set the end date, drop it in, and add a fallback image for after it expires.
