Abstract:

Methods and systems for sending an email so recipients receive it at a selected time in respective time zones. Information about recipients may determine times zones. Information may include zip code, IP address, or identification of a server or service provider serving a recipient. Information may be based on a recipient's activity such as determination of a time zone in which more emails are received than any other, or having a highest weighted average (based on frequency of email receipt and recent history). The email is sent so recipients receive it at the selected time in the respective time zone. Recipients may be grouped by time zones. After sending the email to the recipients, open/click rates of the email by the recipients by the determined time zones may be determined and displayed on a time zone map.
