Studies have shown?
So the idea is, according to material I once saw presented, or read on the web someplace, that the best day send out commercial – and uncommercial – email is Tuesday.
Monday is reserved for catching up from the weekend, and Tuesday is the perfect day because an item can linger in the inbound mail stack, and still get attention, either Tuesday, Wednesday or even Thursday.
I had brief experiment with e-mailing the horoscopes on Tuesday, but the march of UCE, the filters, the bounces and so forth, was too much to worry about. There is no active mailing list, at this time, for that very reason. The usual culprits were the “free” mail servers, like Hotmail, and lately, AOL. But it’s still a problem, and one I’m not willing to toy with.
However, consider my own action and reaction to some mail. Two companies send out a Tuesday notice of sales and so forth. One of them I watch because I have to pay my own way, and I have to shop for the best deals. The other one is from a site I’ve ordered from in the past, but I have no real intention of ordering anytime too soon. Not much of a priority in my life at this moment. Still, I glance at the electronic notices, and I tend to click through to the websites, just for a glance. Random amount of time, usually one click and a single scrolling action, maybe 30 seconds, for a total of a minute or two, each week. But I might not even check if I didn’t get the notice.
Developing story?
A quick note from up yonder (Oklahoma is still OK, tho.)
Hot Air:
Here’s the tree huggers. (Wait, am I one of them?)
More hot air:
I got to digging around in the “saved” e-mail file, looking for some messages I was meaning to answer, and then, I got stuck looking at hate mail from a few years ago. That’s good for a few minutes’ worth of wretched despair and mental anguish.
And furthermore:
I do live like a monk. I don’t care what they say.
