For example, the ideal time for a local restaurant to release a post on Twitter wanting to drive customers in for a lunch special is most likely very different than that of a nation-wide chain. In addition, if the majority of your customers live on the east coast and your company is based on the west coast, you will want to schedule posts to LinkedIn before and after their workday, not yours.<\/p>\n<p>What is the general consensus on the best and worst times to schedule posts on social networks?\u00a0 A few weeks ago, we posted a how to infographic on <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.dlvr.it\/2013\/10\/create-the-perfect-vine-instagram-pinterest-google-facebook-twitter-posts-infographic\/\">Creating the Perfect Vine, Instagram, Pinterest, Google+, Facebook &amp; Twitter Posts<\/a> from My Clever Agency.\u00a0 Found at the bottom was a gem of information \u2013 the optimum timing for social posts. I&#8217;ve attached a similar infographic from Social Caffeine taking it a step further with the best and worst times to post on social networks. Print this out and pin it to your bulletin board.\u00a0 This is a start, poke holes in it, remember to adjust for the Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) of your customers and get back to us with what works (or not works) for you.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.dlvr.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/social-media-times.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4946 aligncenter\" alt=\"social-media-times\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.dlvr.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/social-media-times.jpg\" width=\"438\" height=\"1300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dlvrit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/social-media-times.jpg 345w, https:\/\/dlvrit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/social-media-times-101x300.jpg 101w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 438px) 100vw, 438px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Friday Column: Tips to jump start the weekend and make you a star before Monday.
