Google just announced a new countdown widget that makes it easy for advertisers to place countdown times within their ad copy dynamically.
With a countdown widget, you can create a sense of urgency for customers to buy what you have now versus later. This includes the ability to set the following messaging in your ad copy:
- the number of days, hours, or minutes left to ship their holiday presents in time
- daily discounts or promotions for your hottest deals
- most-up-to date inventory availability on your products
