Countdown timer for offers

Have an option for a time sensitive deal/offer, e.g. deal expires in 23:44:10 or book before xxx before it expires. This would be great for flash sales and to encourage visitors to book with a sense or urgency.

Thanks for the patience, you can now create countdown timer messages. Here is the product update - https://app.triptease.io/updates/create-a-countdown-message-to-promote-limited-time-offers

Thanks for you patience while we reviewed whether or not this idea could be developed by our team and added to our current product plan.
We did begin researching how this feature might work pre-Covid, however we now feel that guest and hotel needs have changed. We would like to understand if this is still a priority and whether you would be looking to use a message like this in the same way?
While we could see the benefit that this would provide to hotels, we have decided that - for the time being - there is nothing on our existing product plan that we can de-prioritize in order to make space for this feature. With the growing importance of mobile as hotels recover from the impact of Covid-19, we have prioritised our ability to help hotels drive better guest experiences on mobile with the launch of the Express mobile experience.
We'll now be moving this request back to 'Open' as we do think it has value. We will keep an eye on continued interest in this feature and will review this at the next planning cycle.

Hey Laura Rogers:, would be great to get this feature supported. We noticed from diffrent promotions we ran recently the time sensitive offers have the most value. Would be great to have this supported in Triptease instead of having the call every offer flash sale or 72 hrs sale.

Hi all, thanks for all the votes for this one! We’ll be reviewing this and seeing where it fits into our 2020 roadmap. We’ll be in touch later on in the quarter with another update and we'd love to gather some more feedback from you, so you can help us shape the solution we potentially build out.
In the meantime, it’d be great to know some more examples of the specific promos you’d run with a countdown timer. Please feel free to comment on the thread with more examples. Thanks!

Grace Santos-Murphy: I would use it for Flash Sales, Major Events, or other time sensitive specials/promotions.
