A list of good email subject lines. What do all good email subject lines have in common?
- Good email subject lines put the company name in the FROM name, not the subject line. Yes to a company name, no to an individual's or marketing program. And if they don't know your company name, maybe you shouldn't be sending them an email.
- Good email subject lines DON'T USE CAPS. EXCEPT PERHAPS INDICATING THAT YOU ARE YELLING AT THEM.
- Good email subject lines compel, not deceive. Tell what's inside, don't sell what's inside.
- Good email subject lines are fun. Ask someone else to help summarize your offer. They probably aren't lost in your jargon.
