Of course you can 🙂

To schedule your email for a later delivery date, first complete the design of your email campaign and proceed to the “Campaign Options” page.

At the bottom of the page, you’ll see 2 options:

1) “Send Now” (which will send email as soon as possible, depending on the number of emails in queue before yours)

2) Schedule Delivery (which let’s you specify the time and date to send your email)

3) Select the date and time and click Schedule to complete.
