2. Did you know that
33% of users rate
whether letter spam
or not just reading
its subject?
That’s why the subject line plays a
huge role when it comes to email
marketing.
3. Neglecting a letter’s subject is
your biggest mistake. A subject
is the main part of your letter
because it is in direct
dependence on whether the user
opens an email or not.
So, today we are going to give
you eight tips on how to compel
an engaging subject line.
4. 1. Keep it
short
The first thing to remember is that the
shorter your subject is, the more chances it
will catch people’s attention.
Keep in mind: 60 characters for a typical
Gmail inbox, 25-30 characters for
smartphone’s screen. Six to eight words
should be your limit.
5. 2. Be laconic
Get rid of your usual filler words, write briefly, and don’t waste
people’s time. Try to be as clear as possible about the topic and
forget all the old tricks that were popular a decade ago.
These days people are too aware of typical marketing tricks.
6. 3. Make it
profitable
Get right to the point, and make
sure you describe all the profits
people may get, reading your
letter.
A number of people may open a
letter if a subject promises some
benefits. And while composing a
subject, do not lie, describe the
profit you can offer, not some false
promises.
7. 4. Address to
the people
Statistics claim that in 45% of cases, people will tend
to open a letter, which subject addresses them
specifically.
However, keep in mind that while being a good
suggestion, it is still a perception trick. So support it
with some other ideas.
8. 5. Employ guides
and “How-tos”
People open letters with “how-tos” subjects
more often in 40% cases.
The very concept of guides or “how-to” texts
suggests that there will be something brief
composed of bullet points that is easy to
read and comprehend.
9. 6. Use keywords
A busy specialist has his email box filtered with
numerous scanners that will simply prevent
random letters from getting into the inbox folder.
It means your subject has to contain logical
keywords for search and filtering.
10. 7. Create an
emotion
People love emotions. People tend to remember
the emotional component of any message.
Your job is to make sure you’ll deliver the emotion,
which is the most relevant to your message. It is
always better to make people smile but, in some
cases, a subject line that causes anxiety will work
better.
11. 8. Make them
curious
Curiosity is one of the most fundamental qualities
people have. If your subject contains an intrigue,
people will more likely open it and read what you
have to say.
12. Writing a
good
subject is
never easy.
No matter how many pieces of
advice you’ve read, it is always
like the first time, because you
never know what attracts people.
Still, using this set of tips, you’ll
find out your way a bit easier.
