“The bad news is time flies. The good news is you’re the pilot.”

Hi there,

You know that moment when fall arrives, the leaves blaze, and pumpkin spice lattes return?

It’s that time again – and BFCM season is here! 

I start getting this feeling – a mix of excitement and nervous energy. 

And I know I’m not the only one who feels this way.

BFCM is like the Super Bowl of eCommerce.

It’s a chance to shine, to connect with customers, and drive sales through the roof.

So how about getting your customers excited for this Super Bowl?

Wondering how? Here’s your answer…


Icegram Engage: Create excitement using Countdowns

Now we know how Icegram Express helps us with personalizing the perfect BFCM emails, but with Icegram Engage Max, you can easily add dynamic countdown timers across your website or on specific pages of your website.

A couple of ways you can use timers during the upcoming BFCM season:

  • Create excitement: Before the Sale,  put up a countdown to get people excited for it.
  • Create urgency: Before the sale ends, let the countdown display the number of hours left for the sale to end.
  • Create FOMO: During the sale, display a countdown to make the visitor grab the offer before prices go back to normal.
