scheduled second resend of my "winning" newsletter to my eCommerce list
First sending was Wednesday, first resending today in the morning.
Reschedule for tomorrow (Sunday afternoon.)
The rationale: to make sure that my important goals have got all the chance.
Tips:
* sometimes a new subject line may help, but sometimes it is just people being busy or 'lazy' to open :)
* 2-3 hits are tops - so there is no need for 3rd resending. At least not right away, at a later point you can still reiterate the same point, in a different package.
The data (to underline my points) and show you how the resending worked in terms of open rates which is a pretty important KPI, beside click-through-rates or responses, depending on your goal:
**First sending** Sun, 10 P.M. GMT, 42.2% open rates - 1 free 30-min call booked. Was great.
**First resending** Sat, 9 A.M. GMT (Today), 36.4% open rates - calculated on the total to make it clearer. So now, this 'campaign' stands at a whopping 78.6%. And I'm sure it will improve.
If you think it's about the headline/subject line or the copy then read the issue:

Learning points:
1. resend the newsletter campaigns just as you would repost on social media.
2. if you choose an email tool, chose wisely either the tool or the right package (ATM I'm doing this all manually, as this project is still just a Proof of Concept for me.)

changed all forms, surveys and quizzes I use to two-step ones if possible
Step 1 - ask for non-threatening stuff (not their email, credit card or name)
Step 2 - only visible after step 1 is cleared - go for the kill (email, name, credit card data)

broke up my CRM into different projects
Reaching the free limit was one. I like growth.
Also, some of the contacts are B2B some are B2C (even use it for candidates, some may become clients down the line anyway.)
