By ‘Tis the season for sleigh rides, snow angels, and presents under the tree.
‘Tis also the season for procrastination, last-minute shopping expeditions and outright panic. While everyone is busy watching “Elf” for the 15th time or helping themselves to yet another serving of Uncle Eddie’s eggnog, they are forgetting that time is quickly ticking by. No one notices until they find themselves frantically shopping in their pajamas at Walmart on Christmas Eve. (Not that that’s ever happened to us….)
So, you ask, how can I make my email campaign snap people out of their peppermint mocha-induced haze and start engaging? Countdown timers!
Our very own NiftyImage elves have created a brand new feature that will boost your engagement, conversion and sales by creating urgency in your emails no matter what time of year it is. Introducing NiftyImages Countdown Timers!
