To do this, add the Countdown widget to the page and follow the steps - 

1. Select **Scarcity Countdown (Evergreen)** from the **Countdown Setup** dropdown.

2. Select the appropriate style from the **Countdown Style** section and make necessary adjustments in the **Content Source** tab.

3. Then go to the **Extra Option** tab and add the timer reset time in the **Reset Time** field.

> *Note: The number will be set in minutes.*

4. From the **Track User Data** dropdown select the **Yes(Local Storage Based)** option. 

This will save the timer cookie in the user's browser making the countdown timer specific to the user. If the user visits the page again the countdown will not reset instead it will continue to complete the remaining time.

5. Then enable the **Enable Loop** toggle, this will make the countdown loop forever.

From the **Delay Minute** field, you can set a delay (in minutes) before starting the countdown timer after the timer ends. This way the countdown timer will not restart immediately making it look more natural.

From the **After Expiry Action** toggle, you can set different actions after the countdown ends.

Then from the **Class Based Section Visibility** toggle, you can change content after the countdown ends based on CSS class names.

This is how easily you can create an evergreen countdown timer.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: What should I do if the evergreen countdown timer isn't resetting for users?**
A: If the evergreen countdown timer isn't resetting, check if you have selected 'Yes (Local Storage Based)' in the Track User Data dropdown. This setting saves the timer cookie in the user's browser, ensuring the countdown remains specific to each user. If this option is not selected, the timer may reset for every visit, which defeats the purpose of an evergreen timer.

**Q: What is the best practice for setting the timer reset time?**
A: When setting the timer reset time, consider the duration of your offer or promotion. The number you enter in the Reset Time field should reflect how long you want the countdown to run before resetting. A common practice is to set it in minutes, ensuring it aligns with the urgency of your campaign while also providing users enough time to act.

**Q: Does enabling the Loop option affect the countdown timer's functionality?**
A: Enabling the Loop option allows the countdown timer to restart indefinitely after it expires. This feature is useful for ongoing promotions, as it keeps the urgency alive for returning users. You can also set a Delay Minute value to control how long the countdown waits before restarting, which can enhance the user experience by making the timer feel more natural.

**Q: What happens if I forget to set the After Expiry Action?**
A: If you forget to set the After Expiry Action, the countdown will simply end without triggering any subsequent actions. This could mean missing out on opportunities to engage users further, such as displaying a special offer or redirecting them to another page. It's important to define what should happen after the countdown ends to maintain engagement.
