Maximize engagement with smart timing
Best engagement happens 9am-5pm local time for B2B, 10am-8pm for B2C. Use A/B testing to find optimal windows for your audience. Avoid lunch hours (12-1pm) and end-of-day (after 5pm) for business contacts.
Tuesday-Thursday see highest engagement for business contacts. Avoid Mondays (busy catching up) and Fridays (mentally checked out). Weekend timing works for consumer audiences but avoid Sunday mornings and Saturday nights.
Appointment reminders 24 hours before need immediate delivery. Payment due today notices can't wait until tomorrow. Configure urgent message types to bypass quiet hours when timing is critical.
Best practice is to avoid sending before 8am or after 9pm (TCPA violation risk). Early mornings and late evenings see lower engagement. Major US holidays see 70% lower engagement. State-specific restrictions may apply.
