Weekend EmailsCONSIDER SENDING OUT AN EMAIL CAMPAIGN ON THE WEEKENDS

Think about your own weekends and what time you relax and catch upon the week’s events. For most people, this may be Saturday or Sunday

early-late mornings.

We suggest sending out a few emails on the weekend to see how youraudience responds. A simple A/B split test could help you determine

optimal times for sending out your campaign. Go ahead and experiment,you may be surprised with your results!

ContentWHAT TYPE OF CONTENT ARE YOU PROVIDING?

The specific content your email provides is important for determining when tosend your email.

For example, a work related newsletter (ie business), may be preferred duringthe mid-morning to mid-day. While an entertainment newsletter (ie sport ormusic) may be preferred during the evening, when subscribers aren’t busy

with work emails and are more focused on relaxing.
