How do I make timers stand out?

I'm struggling to create countdown timers that actually grab my customers' attention and create genuine urgency. My current timers blend into the page and don't seem to motivate visitors to take action. I need strategies to design eye-catching, compelling timers that drive conversions without feeling spammy or manipulative. How can I make my discount timers more visually striking and psychologically impactful?
