Timing: The "Power Hours" for Events
Data shows that event-related texts perform differently than standard retail.
The "Lunch Break" (12:00 PM – 1:30 PM): High engagement for entertainment and nightlife.
The "Post-Commute" time frame is also a solid time to send SMS blasts. Between 10am-11am is recommended.
