It is not uncommon for the SL with the least opens to generate more click and/or sales. • Own the results – Make sure that whoever conducts the tests goes on the record and documents which SL they predict will win (or lose) and, more importantly, why. • Aim to develop a methodology for creating subject lines – Do not reinvent the wheel every time you send an email out, which is what happens if you focus on creating the “perfect” subject line; you are much more likely to deliver consistent results if you have a proven and well tested methodology.
