4 Infographics That Answer Your Most Common Email Marketing Questions

Like many things in life, crafting the "perfect" email is both an art and a science.

Sure, you need to find just the right words, but you also need to determine the right sending frequency if you want it to get opened.

It's a delicate balance that often leads to marketers being left with many unanswered questions. 

However, considering email has nearly 3x as many user accounts as Facebook and Twitter combined, it would be totally irresponsible of us to leave you hanging with these questions.

After all, we're on your side.

So we scoured the web to turn up the resources necessary to shed some light on the situaton. In doing so, we came across four awesome infographics that detail just about everything you need to know about effective email marketing.

See for yourself.

1. "When's the best/worst time to send an email?"

Certainly there's no "one size fits all" approach to timing your email efforts, but this infographic is designed to help steer you in the right direction.

For example, did you know that during 2 pm - 3 pm, most people tend to remain heavily involved in their work, only answering emails of the utmost importance? 

What about the fact that by 3 pm something called "job apathy" begins to set in, giving emails related to property and finances a boost in engagement.

While there's certainly no universal sending time, these insights should help you come to a more informed decision regarding when you should send out that next email.
