BigPrism.com has come out with a great script that creates a Dynamic Countdown Timer. Not only does it create the countdown timer dynamically on the page Here is a demo. They have set the countdown time to 1 minute and 20 seconds, but it can be set to up to one year.
Also they have set the resetting delay to 40 seconds just for testing purposes. The resetting delay is a time variable which the visitor will see the second box (blue outlined box in this demo) when the time is over. If time is over try reloading this page – during 40 seconds you will still see the blue box. It can be set to up to three months. Well, if you see the blue box below, reload this page so it will be changed to red box with timer counting down in it.
You can even place more than one timer on the same page:
Its easy to set up too. You can set it up so during one period the price can be one price and after a predefined time has passed the price can change to another, higher/ lower, price. You can also replace a buy button with an optin box as if you are removing the product from the parket after a certain time.
Your Web host needs to have the following system requirements (99% do):
- Almost any web server (Apache, IIS, etc)
- Perl interpreter (version 5 and higher)
