HurryTimer – An Scarcity and Urgency Countdown Timer for WordPress & WooCommerce Plugin

HurryTimer is a multi-purpose countdown timer that allows you to create urgency and scarcity that drives clicks, increases sales, and highlights upcoming events or deadlines.

Use HurryTimer to create:

Evergreen campaigns:
Give each visitor their own unique countdown timer regardless of their local timezone and the moment they visited your site.

It’s a great way to boost conversion by creating a feeling of scarcity, urgency and exclusivity.

One-time Campaigns:
Run a campaign between two fixed dates. No matter who visits your site the countdown timer is the same. It’s a great way for event-based sales with a firm deadline.

[PRO] Recurring campaigns:
Recurring campaigns are self repeating countdown timers that run according to a set of rules.
