Spot on Subject Lines
|
|
We've all received emails with vague subject lines or worse yet, no subject line at all. It is in our best interest to write effective subject lines for our emails in order to insure that others are reading them and taking necessary action.
When writing your email's subject line, ask yourself these two questions:
- Will the recipient know at-a-glance what my email is pertaining to?
- If I were receiving this email, would I open it?
Here are some examples of poor subject lines along with improved options.
