Here are the 5 types of email subject lines that (almost) ALWAYS get opened.
Email Subject Line #1: The Dead-On Offer
This is a pretty simple one, I got the goods and I know you want them. Though you REALLY need to make sure that people “want what you got.”
Email Subject Line #2: Curiosity/Blind
Want to boost opens? Well that’s EASY—get them curious or…wait for it…confused.
Sure, a confused customer GENERALLY doesn’t convert but confusion will provoke the EXACT action you want in this case: the open.
Email Subject Line #3: Self interest “What’s in it for MEEEEE”
We’ve heard ‘What’s in it for me’ in more ways than one and this is an objection ALL marketers ALWAYS have to over come.
This all comes down to WHY SHOULD I READ THIS NOW.
Email Subject Line #4: Urgency
There’s no motivator like a deadline, that was true in school AND in business. People hate missing out and they ESPECIALLY hare missing out on a deal.
Email Subject Line #5: Story/Relevance
The most interesting part of the story is…well…the middle. With these kinds of subject lines you’re trying to transport your reader into the middle of a conversation.
