Frequently asked questions
When should I send a Black Friday countdown email?+
Best practice: send a teaser 3–5 days before, a live-sale email on Friday morning, and a last-chance email with a countdown on Friday evening or Monday (Cyber Monday).
Can I use the same timer across multiple emails?+
Yes. The timer URL is reusable. Paste it in your pre-launch, launch, and last-chance emails. The countdown remains accurate in all of them.
What if the sale ends at midnight? Can I set that as the deadline?+
Yes. You can set the exact end date and time to the minute, including midnight in any timezone.
Should I use a fixed deadline or evergreen timer for Black Friday?+
Use a fixed deadline for Black Friday — the event has a real end time. Evergreen timers are better for evergreen promotions.
Can I customize the timer to look festive for Black Friday?+
Yes. Use dark backgrounds with gold or red accents to match the Black Friday aesthetic.
