Sunday is THE WORST DAY to send marketing emails. So, what's the best day, and how can business owners use this to their advantage?
The email subscriber list has been a secret weapon of businesses, both big and small. Not only does it serve as another way to promote your products, but it's also the perfect place to test when and how your audience wants to hear from you.
Sending emails on the right day and the right time actually matters. At least, that's what the people over at Campaign Monitor have gathered in their most recent report.
