Should I test timer designs?

I'm running e-commerce promotions and want to optimize my conversion rates, but I'm unsure about how different countdown timer designs might impact customer behavior. I've seen various timer styles online, from minimalist digital displays to animated, colorful graphics, and I'm wondering whether these design variations actually make a significant difference in creating urgency and driving sales. What approaches should I consider when testing timer designs, and what specific elements might influence customer psychology and conversion rates?

TL;DR - Quick Answer

Yes, exit-intent can reduce cart abandonment specifically - cart abandonment exit-intent (firing when a visitor with items in their cart shows exit signals) converts 5-10% of would-be cart abandoners by offering a relevant discount that makes completing the purchase immediately the clear best action.
