Last July, FranchiseHelp began its first experiment with text messages as a means of communicating with potential franchisees. The findings from those tests will transform franchise sales and development.
Every franchise is different. And because of this fact, every franchise’s lead
generation process needs to be slightly different than the next. What works
for one franchise is going to be different from the next.
Frankly, if your franchise hasn't thought about your email send times, you're
probably losing out. As you'll see below, what time of day you send email can
make a pretty significant difference in the amount and type of engagement you
get.
Proper timing is a crucial part of any marketing venture. Frankly, proper
timing can make or break a marketing campaign’s performance. For example, a
company attempting to target simply adults will find themselves purchasing TV
spots late into the evening, well after the rest of the family has gone to
sleep. (Think about the commercials on David Letterman’s show.)
I’ll come clean. When I took over FranchiseHelp’s email marketing efforts at
the beginning of last year, I would’ve never imagined sending over 25 million
emails in a year.
