Description

Most marketers obsess over what to send. But the smartest ones ask when.


Because the same email at the wrong time? That’s not just bad luck—it’s lost revenue.


In this week’s episode of Send It!, Jimmy and Chase dive into the overlooked power of timing in your email and SMS strategy. From send-day spikes to hour-by-hour heatmaps, we’re unpacking how to find your list’s prime time—and why timing alone could make a massive 30% difference in your revenue.


You’ll get real brand stories, data-backed tips, and a practical playbook to test, optimize, and win more clicks (and cash) just by shifting your send time. If you’re not looking at the clock, you’re leaving money on the table.
