Email Marketing

Let's face it, our inboxes are overflowing. Between work emails, newsletters, and that friend who loves to forward funny cat videos, it's a struggle to stay afloat. So, how do you make sure your email cuts through the noise and actually gets opened? The answer: a killer subject line.


Think of your subject line as the movie trailer for your email. It needs to be short, attention-grabbing, and give a hint of what's inside without revealing the whole plot (we don't want any spoilers!). Here are some tips to craft subject lines that'll have your readers hitting "open" faster than you can say "email marketing":


1. Keep it Short & Sweet: People are busy, so aim for subject lines under 50 characters.


2. Spark Curiosity: Tease the content of your email without giving everything away. Use questions, surprising statements, or a sense of urgency to pique interest.


3. Personalize When Possible:  Adding a subscriber's name or mentioning their recent purchase can personalize the experience and boost open rates.


4. Highlight Benefits:  Let your readers know what's in it for them. Will your email save them time, money, or introduce them to something exciting?


5. A/B Test Like a Pro:  Not sure which subject line will resonate most? Try sending out a few variations to a small group and see which one gets the most clicks!


Bonus Tip: Emojis can be a fun way to grab attention, but use them sparingly and keep your brand voice in mind.


Here are some subject line examples to inspire you:

  • Intriguing: " Is This the Secret to [Your Industry Tip]?"

  • Benefit-Driven: " Exclusive Discount Just for You!"

  • Time-Sensitive: "[Limited Time Offer] Don't Miss Out!"

  • Personalization: "[Hi Sarah], We've Got Something Special for You"


**Remember, the best subject line is one that resonates with your audience. So, experiment, have fun, and craft those subject lines that turn email dread into email excitement! Your inbox will thank you.
