Importance of Subject Lines
According to Convince and Convert, 35% of email recipients open your email based solely on the subject line.
Here are a few tips:
- Keep subject lines short. Retention Science reported that email subject lines with 6-10 words have the highest open rates (21%)
- "Nice words" have shown to increase open rates to 22.98% (thank you, please, sorry, etc.). Conversely, being demanding can cause your open rates to fall. (Mixpanel)
- Use Free (when applicable) to increase open rates, but using words like "offer," "discount," "close," or "sale" show a decrease in open rates.
- Announcing something new (like "introducing" and "new") can increase by 9.45% and 3.26% respectfully. Campaign Monitor)
- Use numbers in your subject line to increase open rates by as much as 57% (Campaign Monitor)
