- Promote useful information with a clickable subject to your customers.
“Content is the king”, which means only qualified content could attract the customers’ attention. The subject that introduces your main content plays a vital role as
“47% of email recipients decide whether or not to open an email based on subject line alone”. So it is suggested to carefully design the email subject. Here are some tips:
- Subjects should be concise
It’s difficult for the email recipients to extract the effective information in subjects with too many words, especially for those who receive email on mobile phones, a long subject may be boring. Just use concise words to point out your content.
- Closely related to message body
The subject should summarize the substance of the email. It’s inadvisable to use an attractive subject which is not closely related to the message body as such action will disappoint the recipients when they are not able to get the useful message.
- Use specific words in subject
Specific words will help recipients clearly understand your email. For example, numbers may be effective to express your content. The subject like “5 ways to improve your business” is more specific than that of “How to improve your business”. Then the recipients will decide if the will open the email according to the subject.
- Take user psychology into consideration.
The subject with “for you”, “to you”, “private invite” or “the first one to view” will make the recipients feel their importance to you so that it will be easier to build customer loyalty. What’s more, the subject could also contains information related to the recipients’ appellation, title or company to show that you are familiar with them.
- Make rational use of punctuation marks
Use a special punctuation mark in the subject may attract the recipients sometimes, but it’s not smart to use too many. For example, overuse exclamation points like “Sales!!!” will give recipients an unprofessional impression, and the email may mark as a spam. Just try to express the content by proper words.
Additionally, main body of the email is more important. Don’t advertise for yourself all the time. It will be accepted to transmit valuable information like seminar or conference news, video tutorials, white paper, industry reports or successful stories. Here are some tips on email marketing. Last but not least, pay attention to the visual design of the email. The recommendable ratio of pictures to words is 4:6, which may help your email get a desirable visual effect.
