What day of the week has worked out best to send newsletters or digets to your members? Right now I have them set to go out on the first Monday of every month. However, I'm wondering if Monday is not the best day because people are in the whole "back to the grind" mood and busy playing catchup from the workload that piled up during the weekend, and sorting through a weekend's worth of email in their inboxes. I don't want my newsletters to get lost in the mix and am wondering if Tuesday is perhaps better? As you guys know, the site mostly attracts professionals.

On the other hand, the weekends are very slow for us, and a Monday newsletter might be just the boost we need to start off the week.

Personally, I prefer doing reading on Wednesdays because my manager works from home that day. :p

Hey there. I've experimented with this very issue many times. I get the MOST responses when I start sending them out around 2pm.

I've tried every day of the week, measured the numbers and everything....my folks seem to respond on Thursdays.

Enjoy!

Hey! I checked out your profile...you and I are born on the same day! (Veteran's Day Babies)....I'm 11 years older...but hey....rock on!

Weekends aren't so good, I usually send mine out on Tuesday or Wednesday b/c Monday people are usually busy and nobody is every working on Friday.. hehe

SolePM, I'm very surprised that you receive the best response so late in the week. In the past, I, too, had good feedback on Tuesday. I was hoping Monday afternoon would be good though.

Thursday

I just sent out my second newsletter, over the weekend. Poor response. My first newsletter went out on a Sunday and got a great response, but maybe that was just the newness of it.

I'll definitely try for a midweek, mid-afternoon newsletter next time around.

This is slightly off/ slightly on topic: When do Forums get the most hits is it in the week or on weekends? I have never really looked at my own as it is very small and I am lucky to get one person on at a time.

But, I am doing a huge redesign (i have learnt alot since my first try) and I hope to double the members. I am going to try and email as many people as possible, kind of spam, but it is to people who will be interested in it. First of all how many emails do you guys think I need to send to add 100 more members, and when should I send them? (i told you it was slightly on topic.)

Thanks

You want people to give you advice on spamming?
