Time of day

Day of week

Subject Line

Mindset of your subscribers

Your own mailing history and pounding the list as most of us do

Gmail Promotions tab (that has nothing to do with the email platform you are on)

Mailbox Provider footprint

Summer vacation and kids

Back to school season

Tax day

Presidential election years (as in Trump vs Hillary)

Holiday weekends
