For Social Media Impact, Timing Matters

The social media world may be chattering 24/7, but businesses need to figure out when to post for maximum audience impact. So here's a link to a helpful infographic from socialcaffiene.com, combining research from multiple sources. For those who can't wait to know, the best time to post on Facebook is between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. weekdays, while LinkedIn posts have their greatest reach before and after business hours, from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and then again from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m., Tuesday through Thursday. If you're a tweeter, Twitter users are most attentive between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m., Monday through Thursday. On Fridays and weekends, your social media efforts can relax, unless you want to post to Pinterest. For Pinterest, set aside a Saturday morning.
