Send Mails At Right Time
Days and time matters when you are sending out mails. If you do not send mails at the right time, there are chances that your mails will not get noticed. Review your mailing list and check where are the people from and what are their time zone, check their country timings. It is always better to send out mails during the day time and not in the evening. For example, if you are from India and sending out a mail to a person in Australia, you need to send it early morning. If you are sending out a mail to person in United States, you need to send it at late evening or late night, for Europe it will be afternoon or evening.
Ensure you are sending out mail either on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. Avoid Monday, Friday and Weekends. As per the recent study, people read mails in the mid of the week as monday they are busy in completing the pending tasks and friday they avoid reading any mails since they are excited about the weekend.
But if you are selling some physical or digital products on your website, the best days are Saturday’s and Sunday’s
Conclusion
Emails sent between 8am, 1pm and 5pm perform best. Before sending review the time zone.
Wednesday is the best day for sending mails. Avoid Saturday and Sunday, unless you are not selling any products or doing any promotional events.
