What call-to-action works with timers?

I'm struggling to create effective call-to-actions (CTAs) that complement countdown timers in my e-commerce promotions. While I know timers create urgency, I need help crafting compelling messages that actually motivate customers to take action quickly. My current CTAs feel generic and don't seem to drive the conversion rates I'm hoping for. How can I design CTAs that truly leverage the psychological impact of time-limited offers and encourage immediate purchases?
