Where should timers appear on mobile?

As an e-commerce manager, I'm struggling to optimize countdown timer placement on mobile devices. With limited screen real estate, I need to understand the most strategic locations that capture user attention without being intrusive or disrupting the mobile shopping experience. How can I ensure my time-limited offers are visible and compelling on smaller screens while maintaining a clean, user-friendly interface?
