Merchant/Network Newsletters

Dear Merchants/Networks

It's great you send out a newsletter telling us what's going on and what we should be promoting!

But please can you find a better time to send things out than Friday afternoon as you all head out the office and leg it down the pub to get bevvied!

Thank you!

Hi Loquax

Interesting point as I'm just about to head off down the pub.

I did make sure my offer email was sent a good few hours ago.

But out of interest when do you think is the best time to send an email about offers?

I don't really know...

But i tend not to read the emails i get from merchants on a friday afternoon as much as earlier in the week.

Also as is sometimes the case what's in the email doesn't often manifest itself on the merchant/network - so at least an email within the working week rather than the end of it means any problems can be addressed sooner rather than after the weekend.

I guess there isn't a "best time" - but there must be a better time than friday afternoon!

It wouldn't be so bad if it was just the odd one but nearly everyone sends something on a Friday afternoon!

Worth pointing out that some networks screen the e-mails and merchants have no real control over when they are sent out. Maybe the networks would place a 'send on' date field??
