Make the Subject Line Count

Don’t underestimate just how important it is to have a strong subject line. If it isn’t clear what the email contains there’s a good chance the reader will hit the delete button and your message will be lost. Use a subject line that’s clear, concise, and has a strong call to action. If your email is part of a series make sure it tells which issue this is.

People are busy and email boxes are often packed with all kinds of email. Many of us skim through our email deleting anything that doesn’t catch our interest. When the subject line is catchy and of interest that email is much more likely to be read.

If you have a large customer database you can do some market testing to see, which subject line gets the best follow through rate. If you are seeing a poor click through rate you’ll want to re-evaluate your call to action and see if you can improve on it.

Finding the Right Formula

Don’t get discouraged. Creating s successful email campaign often requires trial and error. You will need to evaluate the response you get from email marketing solutions. The best way to do this is to constantly tweak – test, revise, test again. By following this process you are able to find the format that works.
