I have included your post in my email marketing tips blog carnival edition 18 as "editor's pick." Just wanted to let you know. (I finally should upgrade my blog software, because it's always a hassle with the trackbacks.) Thanks for your insight and sharing. Have a good week. Yours John Bob,

Ben Suarez has a formula in his Seven Steps to Freedom that is similar when dealing with offline promotions. I don't have my copy in front of me, but I THINK it was over a period of 7 days that you could accurately predict the success of any promotion. But I never saw anyone put numbers together for online stuff. In my experience, I guess it depends on the market. I work in some markets where it often takes several DAYS just to get an email read. To me, that's crazy talk... but the numbers don't lie. The folks just don't check their email every second like we do. Thanks again for the post. That’s interesting Bob.

You're right on the money. The only variation I've seen is if when I've been foolish enough to send my email out during my market's "down time" (which is about 9:30 am to 11:30 am most weekdays). If I send a message then it's possible I won't get any orders in the first hour, yet still do reasonably well on the email. But since most marketers learn their market's downtime quickly and stop sending then, I think your rule holds nicely across 99% of email situations. Love you blog ...

When we've had winning promotional emails go out to other lists, our website starts buzzing right away, and the software downloads and inquiries are not far behind. If it's a loser...crickets early, crickets often, for sure. Yes, absolutely have had similar experiences recently.
