When is the best time to send email to school principals?

It is an undeniably impossible task to get in contact with school principals. It is even more troublesome to make principals open marketing emails when they are on-the-go all the time. Maybe your testing has shown that you have more success on Wednesday 9:00 am, but is that the best time to send emails for all of your recipients? Did superintendent Mark and principal John read their email at the same time? With all the emails that Mark and John receive, you would like to stay at the top of their inbox, exactly when they are riding their emails.

According to research done by K12Prospects, principals actually receive about 500 marketing emails in a month. The intriguing and most unfortunate fact is that only one in ten of those emails actually get opened. This can be frustrating if you are a marketing company attempting to build conversations with your education contacts.
