Countdown Timers in Emails
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to place countdown timers in the body of the emails? I haven't found a good out of the box solution.
Ideally it would be used for promotions and events.
Thanks!
Jason

Re: Countdown Timers in Emails
Have you thought about using a GIF? There's plenty of tools out there that can create what you're looking for. Try this one: http://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/create

Thanks for the reply. I have tried a few of them, however many of them will include an advertisement at the bottom or will not format correctly.

As Adam mentioned, a GIF would work for this use case.
Have you seen this vendor? I do not have any experience with them. Just came across while looking into this topic.

We've used Movable Ink in the past to add countdown timers in the body of our emails for promotions. https://movableink.com/
