Everyone relies on their content being engaging on the digital front. Email campaigns effectively function on the same logic and adding countdown timers can complement them to the point of increasing positive responses and eventually sales.
The idea behind countdown timers is to instill a sense of urgency that compels subscribers to act swiftly.
With Sendtric, a tool designed for creating HTML countdown timers, integrating these into your Mailchimp email campaigns has never been easier.
The Importance of Countdown Timers in Email Campaigns
A countdown timer is a visual signal that subscribers should act quickly because time is running out.
Whether it’s an upcoming sale, event registration deadline, or a limited-time offer, a countdown timer clearly communicates that the clock is ticking. This urgency then shoots up conversion rates as subscribers feel compelled to act to avoid missing out.
Besides increasing urgency, countdown timers can make your emails more attractive and likely to be noticed.
Setting Up Countdown Timers with Sendtric
Sendtric simplifies the process of adding countdown timers to your Mailchimp campaigns. Here’s how you can get started:
Step 1: Sign Up on Sendtric
First, visit the Sendtric website and sign up to access their dashboard. This is where you’ll create your countdown timer.
The sign-up process is straightforward, so you get to the timer creation step without any hitches.
Step 2: Customize Your Timer
After logging in, select a countdown timer style that aligns with your campaign’s aesthetic and goals.
Sendtric offers various styles, from classic countdown clocks to progress bars and custom images. This flexibility allows you to design a timer that fits your brand identity while also resonating with the specific message of your campaign.
To make the process seamless, especially in the Pro Edition, align the names of your timers with your Mailchimp campaigns. This small step can save you time and get rid of any confusion down the line.
Step 3: Copy the Embed Code
With your timer customized to your liking, the next step is to copy the embed code generated by Sendtric.
This code is the key to embedding the timer into your Mailchimp email campaign, so keep it handy.
Step 4: Launch Your Mailchimp Campaign
Navigate to your Mailchimp account and either start a new campaign or tweak an existing one. Once your campaign content is in place, you’re ready to add the countdown timer.
Step 5: Embed the Timer
In the Mailchimp editor, find a spot for your timer and insert a “Code” block there. Paste the Sendtric embed code into this block, integrating the timer seamlessly into your email design.
Step 6: Test and Dispatch
Before sending out your campaign, use Mailchimp’s preview feature to see your countdown timer in action.
Make sure everything looks as intended, then confidently dispatch your email to your subscriber list.
Step 7: Review Campaign Performance
Keep track of how well your campaign is doing once it goes live. Sendtric’s analytics allow you to measure the impact of your countdown timer on the campaign’s overall success, offering insights that can guide future marketing strategies.
Fine-Tuning Your Timer
Even after embedding your timer into Mailchimp, you might find yourself wanting to make adjustments, perhaps to the timer’s color or font.
The Pro Edition of Sendtric facilitates these changes without the need to re-embed the code, provided you’re editing the same timer.
