Should newsletter timers match site timers?

As an e-commerce marketer, I'm struggling with creating consistent urgency across different marketing channels. I want to ensure that the countdown timers in my email newsletters align perfectly with the timers on my website, but I'm unsure about the technical and psychological implications of matching or mismatching these timers. How can I create a cohesive urgency strategy that doesn't confuse or frustrate potential customers?
