Optimizing Send Cadence

23% of email opens happen within an hour of delivery, while the opens drop dramatically as time goes on.

Based on data from several studies by Experian, Mailchimp, Customer.io, Get Response, and Campaign Monitor, sending emails in the middle of the work week should perform best. You can also run split tests to determine best time of day and day of week to send your emails.
