1 Answer

Answer :

answer:They’re different for each medium. While you could get back to an email in 1–2 days easily, texts and tweets are people looking for a quick response or reply. So essentially those would be easily ASAP. It also depends on the urgency of the email. Sometimes I’ll reply right away, or sometimes I’ll wait a few days.
