Can users dismiss mobile timers easily?

As an e-commerce store owner, I'm concerned about user experience on mobile devices. Our countdown timers need to be non-intrusive and easy to dismiss, especially on smaller screens where space is limited. I want to ensure that these urgency-creating elements enhance rather than frustrate the mobile shopping experience. How can I design mobile timers that are both attention-grabbing and user-friendly?

TL;DR - Quick Answer

Mobile timers should feature a clear, easily tappable close button, minimize to a small icon after initial display, and use responsive design that adapts seamlessly to different screen sizes without blocking critical page content.
