The best time or day to open (or launch) an ad depends on your target audience, industry, and platform. But here are general best practices based on marketing data:
✅ Best Days to Run Ads
Weekdays (Tuesday–Thursday) tend to perform better for most industries.
Tuesday is often the best day for engagement.
Wednesday is also strong.
Monday can be hit or miss — people are catching up after the weekend.
Friday performance can dip after midday.
Weekends work if your audience is consumers (B2C), especially in eCommerce, food, or entertainment.
✅ Best Times of Day to Run Ads
Morning (8 AM – 11 AM):
Great for business-related audiences (B2B).
People check emails and browse during commutes or when settling into work.
Lunch hours (12 PM – 1 PM):
Users are on breaks, often scrolling on phones.
Evening (6 PM – 9 PM):
Especially effective for B2C.
People unwind with social media, shopping, or browsing.
