When’s the Best Time to Post a Facebook Timeline Contest?
Lunchtime and early evenings on weekdays are peak windows for posting a Facebook timeline contest. Click to discover how to time your contests for maximum reach and participation.
Timing your post is critical to maximizing visibility. Facebook users are most active around midday (12–2 PM) and early evenings (6–8 PM) during the workweek. Weekends tend to have lower engagement unless your audience is highly consumer-focused.
Use Facebook Insights to determine when your specific audience is online. You may find that your peak time is outside general benchmarks — particularly if you serve global customers in different time zones.
Launch your contest using Gleam’s Facebook Timeline Contest structure and schedule it during your top engagement window. Combine that with paid boosting or influencer reposting for amplified visibility.
