Sending emails on 9/11?

[Anonymous]

Is anyone planning to send emails on 9/11? My team and I are currently brainstorming and wondering if we should have day of silence (no emails) in observance of 9/11 or if we should carry on business as usual and send out campaigns.

I wanted to pose the question to the Marketo community to see if anyone had any thoughts regarding marketing on September 11th.

Taryn,

Good topic. When Hurricane Harvey hit, we paused communication to those in the Houston area as this pause was region-based and many offices were shut down and unable to even receive email. 9/11 is a sensitive subject, but I believe it is mostly industry-based. For example, sending communication to military or government organizations should be paused as they may be shut down in remembrance, but not necessarily to a software company just because they are based in Manhattan. Again, it is entirely at your own discretion.
