Add a countdown timer beneath the hero headline to visually reinforce urgency and reduce cognitive load, customers shouldn’t have to calculate how much time remains before the offer ends. • Reposition the Open House CTA to appear after the main booking CTA, ensuring the primary conversion goal (securing discounted rates) isn’t visually or psychologically diluted by secondary event promotion.
