Launch countdown template in blocks

Dark boxes with an orange top bar and white digits. This is the countdown for the email that announces a launch date a week ahead: days, hours, minutes and seconds, so people see how long is left and that the clock is running.

Free style: no signup and no watermark up to 25,000 impressions a month.

Launch countdown GIF: white digits in dark boxes with an orange top bar, showing days, hours, minutes and seconds

Orange is Kauntodaun's accent, and it works as a "something is about to happen" color for almost any brand. If yours is different, change it in the generator: the bar and the separators pick it up and everything else stays the same.

When it reaches zero, the timer shows "Available now" instead of zeros. That way the same email still makes sense after launch: anyone who opens it late sees that the product is already on sale.

For a waitlist, send the announcement seven days out, a reminder the day before and the launch email, all three with the same timer URL. If the launch slips, change the date from your free account and every email already sent shows the new one.

Blocks is free, with no signup and no watermark up to 25,000 impressions a month. Paste it into a Code block in Mailchimp, an HTML Block in Kit or a Code block in MailerLite.
