Be “Urgent”

“Last chance…”
“Final hours…”
“Ending soon…”

2. Use a “Number”

“5 tips to…”,
“7 secrets of…”,
“10 ways to…”

3. Ask a “Question”

“How are you feeling about…?”
“Do you need more…?”
“Are you struggling with…?”

4. Use “Curiosity” that doesn’t kill

“Why…”
“How…”
“Discover…”

5. “Personalize” it

“Tim, quick question…”
“Mary, I saw this and thought of you…”
“John, got a sec?”

Bonus: “Humor”

“I have a bone to pick with you…”
“Don’t do this”
“Open this email for a surprise!”

Use one or more of these in your next email subject line and watch your open rates go through the roof 📈
