I think it's more a matter of the content than the time of day that you send it.

I don't do spam emails, so I don't think I can answer this.  I do drips for those that register but I don't just mass email

I agree with Gabe Sanders -- content is more important in my opinion.  

I don't use email for that purpose.....I use direct mail marketing to secure new, fresh inventory..... too much spam today, and the delete button is there for those who don't want to deal with reading solicitations....but they all "AT LEAST SCAN THEIR MAIL".... send something eye catching and they'll read it.... if they're thinking of possibly selling now or in the future, they'll keep it

Moe,

Tuesdays are great days to send out emails.  There is a better chance of having them opened.  A

How do you get email addresses for a farm area?  I can see it for a SOI list, but for farm areas I have only found postal addresses.

I never use mass email marketing and always unsubcribe from others. I consider it spaming. 

I found Tuesday morning the best time to send an email blast in my farm area. It was a weekly update thing. Short and sweet!

Generally Tuesday or Wednesday mornings between 9am and 10am. 

I don't use it in my farm. Only mailings

What works in one area does not necessarily work in another area.  Try some A-B testing.

I'd say a little before 8, a little after lunch and in the last hour or so of the work day.  Those tended to be when I and most of my coworkers had downtime to read random emails.

I am enjoying the answers, getting ideas.

I don't do email marketing - tried it a few times, but after being reported for spamming I stopped

Now I only send if they ask

I have not done it.

The best day is the first Thursday of the new month with current market data.

Marc Swartz, CPA, CA, Real Estate Broker nailed this one!

I have been successful with email marketing to my database. Do not send marketing emails to those who have not requested them.

Early in the week so they are viewed before the weekend.  I also agree with other comments, the material on the postcard is what's important. Good luck!

Barbara Todaro is the queen of marketing; I would consult her.

My neighborhood has a list-serve, and it's considered to be totally rude to use it as a farming tool.  I do, however, respond to some of the messages if neighbors ask for recommendations for roofers or painters or other fixup professionals.  I use snail mail.  

I don't do email marketing and never have.

I don't email to my farm, Moe. As far as best day and time that varies with your audience. Test and track the results to find what's best for yours.

I do not email market to my farm area but more to my database. Is that what you meant? 

I don't email in my farm area because I don't have email addresses, only street addresses. I don't have phone numbers either. It makes for limited marketing.

As for our sphere, I have some email addresses but I don't typically market via email. I never found it effective and I always felt like I was being a nuisance.

We find email marketing to not work...period.

I don't do email blasts in my farm. In fact, I've given up annoying those I know years ago with those things.

To much of it goes to spam I think!

Tuesday and Thursday will get the most open rates. Send at 11-2.
