Key facts
- Send on weekdays during the reader's working hours, in their own time zone, and spread sends through the day rather than all at once.
- The exact hour matters far less than who you email and what you say.
- Buzz Send sends Monday to Friday during working hours in each recipient's time zone.
- Many senders do fine with it, but spreading through the week is safer.
Is there a magic hour?
No single hour wins for everyone. Owners often read early, office staff mid-morning, and many people clear email before they log off. Spreading sends across working hours covers all of them.
Why the reader's time zone?
An email that lands at 6 a.m. in California because you sent it at 9 a.m. in New York sits under a pile by the time they look.
What about weekends?
Skip them for business email. Weekend emails get buried by Monday.
