Best time to email...

My best times to broadcast my list is @ 12:00PM and 8:00PM


For you to get the most open rates, what times do you send a broadcast?

    I have found that:

    1) My lists open broadcasts at all hours of the day
    2) My lists open follow up messages at 9 a.m. when I send them at 9 a.m.
    3) My lists open follow up messages at 2 a.m. when I send them at 2 a.m.
    4) Sometimes the person who opens at 9 am regularly won't open at 9 a.m. on some days (scheduling conflict? sick? busy?)
    5) My lists are sifting through other email marketers emails as well, hourly, and daily
    6) My lists probably don't read every single email from every single marketer, so the subject lines may matter.

    I suppose my point is that there is no best time to mail. Just stay consistent.

    That's a really hard question to answer, as the results vary a lot...

    Strangely enugh a lot of sales come late in the night US timezones.

    The best thing you can do is test with your own list to see what time you send gets most opens and more importantly more sales, as each list is different.

    What time would that be for me? How many time-zones away from me is Gordon Gekko's office?

    The planet is divided into 24 different time-zones. Even the English-speaking world is divided into nearly 24 different time-zones.

    All things are relative.
