September Tip: Don't Rule Out Mailing on Weekends or Holidays

We have been selling a lot of email blasts, and we usually assign those to 'safe' days of the week like non-holiday Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. That means some of our own promotions need to get scheduled on what's left.

Weekend and holiday dates can perform better than you might expect. We sent a promotion for our Tom Howard/Margaret Reid Poetry Contest this past Sunday, in the middle of Labor Day weekend. While the 25% open rate was a little soft compared with the 27% and 28% of the prior two mailings for this contest, the 543 clicks on the key link were better. There were other variables at work - the creative executions were all different - but still, even a holiday weekend can perform acceptably.
