If you send emails to employers there are good times and bad times to send that email. While there is no one particular time to send them there are some times that are better than others. I have been emailing clients and prospects for many years and have generally found these times to be the best (and ones to avoid).
I found this article recently which I’d like to quote;
Some email experts even go so far as to say that you should time your blast for as close to 6 a.m. as possible to ensure that your message is at the top of your target customer’s email list, thus increasing the chances that it will be read (Good Technology also found that 68% of consumers check their work email account before 8 a.m.).
That said, increased smartphone usage has led to email peaks at unexpected times, such as Sunday afternoons after the weekend partying has come to a close, and first thing in the morning (the average person first checks their phone just after 7 a.m.). You can try to stay ahead of the latest reports and case studies, but a more effective strategy might be to consider the nature of your message and what makes the most sense for your brand.
I’d like to add that monday mornings are generally not a good time to email your employers. They are just getting to work after a weekend and are very busy. Posting a job is not really on their mind yet. I have found that tuesday mornings are better for sales pitches via email.
Avoid sending anything after noon on Fridays.
But you can certainly experiment with different days either around 6am or lunchtimes might be good spots to try. Generally earlier in the week is better.
