#1 of 7 Reasons to Use Delay Delivery: Write email when it suits you

Using Delay Delivery allows you to write an email at a time that suits you but have it arrive at a time that best suits the receiver and/or the outcome you’re trying to achieve. You can write an email days or even weeks in advance and have the message arrive at an appropriate time for the receiver.

This allows you to do the work, thinking or decision-making and write the email while you are in that headspace. This might be at 11pm at night or 4am in the morning but is that the best time to send your message? Delay Delivery allows you to send the mail and get that task off your list but hold the message for delivery at a more appropriate time.

A recent client who works in Project Management for a construction company found this an invaluable idea. At the start of a project, he was having to write himself calendar reminders to send certain emails at certain points along the project timeline. But by using Delay Delivery, he was able to write all these emails at the start of the project and delay sending them until the appropriate day and time in the project cycle.

Many write an email and then save it their Drafts folder to send some time later. And how many times have you then forgotten to do that? By using Delay Delivery, you don't have to remember to go back to the Drafts folder and send the message later. It also allows you to schedule an automatic email follow-up even if you are away from your computer, using an add-on app to suit your email software. You can set up repetitive emails in advance, at daily, weekly, monthly, yearly or customised time intervals.
