Advanced Scheduling Features

Recurring Campaigns

Set up campaigns that send on a regular schedule:
  • Weekly Newsletter: Every Tuesday at 10 AM
  • Monthly Digest: First Monday of each month
  • Daily Updates: Every day at 8 AM
Recurring campaigns automatically create new sends based on your schedule. You can edit content for each occurrence.

Timezone Optimization

Send emails at the same local time for all recipients: Example: Schedule for “10:00 AM recipient’s time”
  • New York subscribers receive at 10:00 AM EST
  • London subscribers receive at 10:00 AM GMT
  • Tokyo subscribers receive at 10:00 AM JST
This ensures everyone gets your email during optimal hours regardless of location.

Scheduling Best Practices

  • Schedule campaigns at least 24 hours in advance
  • This gives time for final reviews and any last-minute changes
  • Avoid scheduling during your off-hours when issues can’t be addressed
  • Think about when your subscribers check email
  • Factor in their work schedules and time zones
  • Avoid holidays and major events if not relevant
  • A/B test different send times
  • Analyze open rates by send time
  • Build a send time strategy based on data
  • Don’t flood inboxes with too many emails
  • Space campaigns appropriately (typically 1-4 per month)
  • Consider subscriber fatigue
