With an estimated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/456500\/daily-number-of-e-mails-worldwide\/\">361.6 billion emails<\/a> sent and received globally each day, the amount of promotional and transactional emails you get in your inbox daily means there\u2019s always something new to discover.<\/p>\n<p>Your subject lines must stand out, or you will miss these benefits.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">High open and click-through rates<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>An <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/best-email-subject-lines\/\">email subject line<\/a> is your only chance to make an impression in an email marketing campaign. If your opener is a dud or reeks of spam, guess what? Your audience won\u2019t even bother to open the cold email.<\/p>\n<p>This will also hurt your click-through rates, as they depend on your audience opening and engaging with your messages.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Good sender reputation<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Your sender reputation is everything.

If you have a high reputation, ISPs will let your emails through, preventing soft and hard bounces. However, a low ISP could cause your messages to be blocked.<\/p>\n<p>If an ISP blocks your emails, your recipients never receive them. There\u2019s usually no way to fix this unless and until you work on your sender reputation, building back trust and reputability.<\/p>\n<p>So yes, while it\u2019s doable to rebuild your sender reputation, it\u2019s better to have a good one from the get-go rather than take the many weeks and months it usually requires to improve your reputation.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-medium fasc-type-flat fasc-rounded-medium ico-fa fasc-ico-before fa-arrow-circle-right\" style=\"background-color: #33809e; color: #ffffff;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/black-friday-email-subject-lines\/\">Read also: 103 Black Friday Email Subject Lines to Outshine Your Competition<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Better lead and customer engagement<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Why do businesses send emails? Primarily, it\u2019s to connect with their audience so they can drive goals like conversions and sales.<\/p>\n<p>Your audience must be engaged for them to buy a word you\u2019re saying, which requires you to take time to nurture the professional relationship.<\/p>\n<p>Email remains one of your most steadfast and effective strategies for driving this outcome, as you can use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/drip-campaign-examples\/\">drip marketing<\/a> and automation to ensure your audience receives messages at precise moments.<\/p>\n<p>A subject line is a tantalizing opener that inspires your audience to open your messages and interact with your content.

For instance, long-time customers might receive special VIP emails, but your newer customers and leads would not.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-medium fasc-type-flat fasc-rounded-medium ico-fa fasc-ico-before fa-arrow-circle-right\" style=\"background-color: #33809e; color: #ffffff;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/respond-to-introduction-email\/\">Read also: How to Respond to an Introduction Email: Tips and Templates<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Use emojis sparingly<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/email-emojis\/\">Emojis in email subject lines<\/a> are a great way to grab attention and convey a sentiment with fewer words, so they naturally have a good place. Well, most of the time, they do.<\/p>\n<p>It all depends on your brand. Some brands with a cheekier, more relaxed tone can always use emojis and still seem on-brand, while for others that are more buttoned-up, an emoji can seem like a strange inclusion.<\/p>\n<p>If you incorporate emojis into your subject lines, at least <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/emojis-with-meaning\/\">know what they mean first<\/a>. Nothing is more embarrassing than using an emoji incorrectly in an email that goes out to hundreds or thousands of customers and potential customers.<\/p>\n<p>Also, limit the use of emojis per email. More than two or three is overkill, especially if the emojis convey the same emotion. For example, two different smileys are unnecessary when one does the job.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">A\/B test subject lines<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Don\u2019t send a live email before you test your subject lines.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/ecommerce-email-a-b-testing\/\">A\/B testing<\/a> determines which subject line will perform better based on factors like length, tone, copy, use of emojis, and emotion. Always test your subject lines, especially in the formative early days of your campaign when you\u2019re still trying to determine what works with your audience.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-medium fasc-type-flat fasc-rounded-medium ico-fa fasc-ico-before fa-arrow-circle-right\" style=\"background-color: #33809e; color: #ffffff;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/4th-july-email-subject-lines\/\">Read also: Red, Write, And Blue: The Best 4th Of July Email Subject Lines<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Common_Email_Subject_Line_Mistakes_to_Avoid\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #339966;\">Common Email Subject Line Mistakes to Avoid<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Thanks to the tips from above, you think you\u2019ve got the gist of effective email subject lines. Before your campaign begins, carefully review these costly subject line mistakes to ensure you don\u2019t make them yourself!<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Neglecting mobile optimization<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>With <a href=\"https:\/\/easysendy.com\/blog\/mobile-email-open-statistics\/#:~:text=Nearly%201.7%20billion%20users%20check,is%20around%200.9%20billion%20users.\">about 1.7 billion people checking their emails through mobile devices<\/a>, you can\u2019t afford to skip out on email optimization. By comparison, roughly 0.9 billion people read their messages on desktops.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s more convenient to check emails on your phone, as you don\u2019t have to be in your office in front of your computer to stay connected to colleagues and clients.<\/p>\n<p>If your emails aren\u2019t optimized for your mobile audience, your email marketing campaigns will fail. Your messages will be cut off, the images will be bloated and block out text, and the elements will all be jumbled.<\/p>\n<p>Since email optimization is common today, your customers or leads will assume your email is spam and report it as such.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Using misleading language<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I know you want to increase your open email rates, don\u2019t we all? However, misleading your audience is not the way to do it.<\/p>\n<p>Your emails must be honest. Your readers will fall for it the first time you lie to them, and some might even give you the benefit of the doubt. More than likely, you will lose a lot of subscribers for your dishonesty, which isn\u2019t worth it.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Incorporating spam terms<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Many, many words are considered spammy in emails, including but not limited to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Action<\/li>\n<li>Exclusive deal<\/li>\n<li>Free<\/li>\n<li>Acceptance<\/li>\n<li>Compare rates<\/li>\n<li>Cents on the dollar<\/li>\n<li>All-natural<\/li>\n<li>Avoid bankruptcy<\/li>\n<li>Escape debt<\/li>\n<li>Double your income<\/li>\n<li>Millions or billions<\/li>\n<li>Earn<\/li>\n<li>Credit<\/li>\n<li>Be your own boss<\/li>\n<li>Accept credit cards<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Using these terms is an excellent way to get your emails marked as spam, where your subscribers will likely never see them again.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Overusing punctuation and capital letters<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You can\u2019t use fancy characters in email subject lines; even bolding and italics are usually off-limits. That\u2019s why you may sometimes see emails using capitalization for entire words, like \u201cSale starts NOW!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All caps are okay to use in moderation, as they can underscore important words and drive a sense of urgency. However, when your entire message is in caps, it loses all sense of urgency since readers don\u2019t know which word matters most.<\/p>\n<p>More so, it can come across like you\u2019re yelling and generally turns readers off.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, abusing punctuation is a bad look. One exclamation point or question mark will do it.<\/p>\n<p>For example, I made up this subject line on the spot. \u201cDo you want to miss out on this deal???\u201d versus \u201cDo you want to miss out on this deal?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One question mark conveys the same sense of mystery without risking getting your message sent to spam.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Being too generic or vague<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>On the note of maintaining a sense of mystery, there are many ways to convey it, but being vague and generic aren\u2019t two of them. If you\u2019re so cryptic that your audience has no idea what you\u2019re talking about, you\u2019ll get your messages sent to spam and lose many subscribers.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-medium fasc-type-flat fasc-rounded-medium ico-fa fasc-ico-before fa-arrow-circle-right\" style=\"background-color: #33809e; color: #ffffff;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/introduction-email-templates\/\">Read also: 15 Introduction Email Templates That Work Like A Charm<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wrapping_Up\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #339966;\">Wrapping Up<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Subject lines are nothing short of an art form and should be treated as such.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re how you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/introduction-email-templates\/\">make an awesome introduction<\/a> and amplify your marketing message.
