Some tips on the timing to send emails:

Monday Blues: Monday's are considered the worst day to send mass emails if open rate is important to you (and, of course, open rate is important to you). The logic, again, involves the theory that most people spend most of their inbox time at work. When you come into work on a Monday, you instantly start deleting anything that seems like junk or unimportant emails so that your inbox isn't as overwhelming to you. This theory has been backed up by numbers in many email marketing studies. Unless your users have proven to exhibit a different pattern or you have a compelling reason to send on Monday, avoid Monday sends!

Weekend Warriors: It's also a fact that internet activity in general reduces on weekends. This may be because people spend more time with their families, get outdoors more or are just burnt out from all their enforced online time during the week. Almost every online metric category slips on the weekends, and that includes email opens. Avoid big weekend blasts.

Midweek Days are the Best Days of a Week: Most studies support that sending emails on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday will yield the best results. So, if you boil it down, you want to send your email campaign on a midweek day in the afternoon.

I would agree with you in general.

However, it really depends upon your target market.

In some markets, the weekends are the best time to send email.

You didn't say when it is good to send e-mails.

One thing is like Betsy said it depends on who you market to

Also like everything its all about testing. Vary your times, record when you do it, and go back and look at your analytics, test test test some more!

Yes, testing. Thanks for adding that Lynda.

Unless you test, you don't really know if it works, or whether it could work better.

Yea, I agree that Mondays are great days to send business opps. People are starting out their long work weeks so they are in a trainable mood

Oh wow. I actually did not know that about sending emails during that time period. I guess successful marketing comes with testing every aspect of your email listing. I have been marketing successfully online but never knew about the best time to send an email campaign.

Yes,I agree with that.Test is always the final step before you send the email.All the rules are meant to be broken,we should test every part of the emails to make sure we won't make mistakes.

The best time to send emails is when you are able to buy leads and hire a company to deliver them. They can do this all day. A company is more professional, efficient and with experience get better results.

The exciting part of sending emails is that the people you are collecting this valuable information are expecting something from you. I started collecting names and emails and putting on my website to be contacted. They can also go to the website themselves and get more information and join in on saving money.
You are not cold calling but contacting people by emails. They can respond at their leisure when they are ready.
This has become a very valuable tool in staying motivated, branding yourself and providing a valuable service to the community. Word would spread when people get good service.
