Regarding to the country of origin of the fans, a matched posting strategy can be used. As expected the fans of our fanpage mostly come from Germany. However, we also reached stakeholders in multiple other countries. As most of our fans come from Europe and North and South America we chose to post and twitter at 10pm German time. The diagram on the right shows that this tactic was the right decision.
The best time for posts is 10pm. This daytime is perfect for European users who are at home after work but also for Americans where it is afternoon then.
Wednesday 10pm is the best time for posts. All in all we posted 14 times on Wednesday evenings and got an average of 12.79 reactions per post.
