What's the right frequency for sending emails?
In order to build trust and further engage your audience, you need to send the right information at the right time. Keeping this in mind, what's your recommendation on a successful frequency for sending marketing emails? Please elaborate as to why you recommend this in your response.
The right frequency for sending emails varies as per the buyer's journey, then emails should be sent at the right time to the right person (at the right stage of the buyer's journey).
Depends on the customer;s expectation - incase he is signup for for monthly newsletter - than email should be sent once in a month. But incase it is communicated to the user that he would recieve offer, updates related email , then email can be sent twice a week.
After segmentation, know your contacts and send the right information at the right time. Your content and metric would determine how often you reach out to your contacts.
I think the frequency depends on our goal and after analyzing your contacts. Regarding the date to send the email, it all depends and who are your customers.
I believe the right frequency as well as the time to send an email will be given by analyzing the metrics and behaviors from the previous emails. Taking into consideration the segmentation, the buyer persona and the stage of the journey they are.
It is to look at what Kind of services I'm providing to the contacts and how the emails I'm sending and how the contacts have been interacting with it.
I agree and would add not on Friday either! Thursday is so-so but not great as people may be gone on Friday and might forget about your e-mail. Tuesday or Wednesday between 10 and 12 is best!
This a really great point to taake note of and i totally agree with you. Also one will need to know if during the express consent stage it was stated the frequency and period mails will be sent. If it was stated then to build trust one must keep to this times or schedules with the contacts.
It all depends on the expectations of a recipient which one sets while filling out a form or opting in for our marketing emails. If a recipient opts in for monthly newsletters, then the email reaching his/her inbox should follow the sequence.
It all depends on the email you send. If you are sending a email tht wil send a code to get % off you will need to send it immediately other wise the expectations will not be met resulting in trust lost. Its all in what the contact expects. Emails should be sent in a timely manner that has been clearly stated in the sign up form.
