What a “good” send-time system looks like

  • One primary promo day (email) + a supporting reminder (SMS) if needed.
  • One value/nurture touch to protect engagement and deliverability.
  • Segment-aware timing: VIP earlier, lapsed later, engaged midday.
  • Quiet-hours safe SMS (no late-night surprises).

Use the same baseline weekly rhythm for at least 2–3 weeks, then test one change at a time.

Common mistakes this tool helps you avoid

  • Stacking multiple promos on the same day without spacing.
  • Sending SMS at risky hours or too close to email sends.
  • Running “random times” that prevent learning and optimization.
  • Overusing SMS for revenue and damaging trust.

How accurate is this schedule?

It’s a proven baseline schedule for ecommerce. Your best send-time improves after a few weeks of consistent cadence and testing. Use this plan as the default and adjust one variable at a time.

How do I choose email vs SMS for the same promo?

Use email for the full story and product depth. Use SMS for urgency—last chance, low stock, or a short reminder—inside quiet hours.

Does this work for EU/GDPR?

Yes. Ensure you have valid consent for SMS, respect quiet hours, and keep unsubscribe options clear.

What should I test after 7 days?

Compare revenue per send, click-through rate, and unsubscribe rate for each day/time block. Move only one send window per week so results are attributable.

Can I implement this in Omnisend?

Yes—build automations for daily revenue, then use campaigns to amplify outcomes. This Email + SMS send-time planner gives you the campaign layer that complements automations.
