What time should I send Black Friday emails?

As an e-commerce marketer preparing for Black Friday, I'm struggling to determine the optimal email send times to maximize open rates, click-throughs, and ultimately sales. With customers receiving hundreds of promotional emails during this peak shopping period, timing becomes crucial. I need to understand the best practices for scheduling Black Friday email campaigns that cut through the noise and drive conversions without overwhelming my subscriber list.

TL;DR - Quick Answer

Best times to send Black Friday emails: Thursday 8-9pm (early birds), Friday 6-8am (first check of the day), Friday 7-9pm (evening shoppers), and Sunday evening for last-chance. Avoid Friday 12pm-2pm when email volume peaks and open rates drop.

Best Send Times for Black Friday Emails

Black Friday email timing is counterintuitive. The obvious send time (Friday morning) is when inbox competition is highest. Off-peak times like Thursday night or Friday evening often deliver better open rates.

Time zone: use "Smart Send" or subscriber timezone features in Klaviyo/Mailchimp. For a simple send, use your audience's primary time zone (check your email platform's analytics).
