I attended a workshop led by HBT Marketing, a company specializing in behavioral science and marketing best practices. Their insights are proven to drive results for email marketing campaigns.

Here are 5 key takeaways for subject lines to increase your email marketing success:

  1. Get a 21% lift by capping 1-3 words in your subject line: Ex. Apply NOW.
  2. Use title casing in subject lines to improve open rates by 14%: Ex. Bob IThe Coolest Speaker Ever.
  3. Subject lines that start with a number have an 18% higher open rate:
    Ex. 10 Mind-Blowing Facts About Armadillos.
  4. Use emojis in subject lines. They stand out in a sea of emails.
    Get a 22% lift in B2B emails and an 18% lift in B2C emails.
  5. Using a person’s name in the subject line has a 30% lift in open rates.
