Best day of week to send a Newsletter?

[chefmarey]

I'm curious...anyone have an opinion on the optimal day of the week to send out a newsletter for best responses?
Thanks ~ Marey in Michigan:chef:

I have always heard that the best day is Tuesday. Especially if you have a lot of people who have it sent to their work. Mondays people are so busy and trying to catch up from the weekend.

I never send on Saturday, Sunday, or Monday because then the email piles up in the inbox over the weekend and on Monday I might just get deleted in the "clear the inbox" effort.

That's exactly what I've read as well. I usually schedule mine to go out mid-morning (9:30-10 am) on Tuesday mornings. If I miss that, I aim for Wednesdays or Thursdays.

If your contact list has alot of work e-mail addresses, then I agree not to send it too close to the weekend, or on Monday. If you have mostly personal e-mail addys, though, I suggest sending on Thursday evening or Friday. This way people have the weekend to leisurely read the newsletter, and it's sitting towards the top of their inbox, so it will catch their eye quicker.

Thanks for the post. I actually haven't put to much thought in to when to send it. I will now. Makes sense :-)
