Address your contacts with personalized subject lines
What is subject line personalization?
Crafting subject lines that include a customized acknowledgment of the person it is being sent to.
Why should I adopt subject line personalization?
When we open our inboxes our eyes tend to gravitate towards subject lines that seem personal to us, usually in the form of being addressed by our first or full name. Additionally, if it’s followed by some kind of call-to-action that you’ll want the recipient to take.
Can you give me an example of a good personalized subject line?
“Chelsea, it’s booster shot time for your dog” is personal to Chelsea and gives a clear call-to-action that is sensible without being pushy. I would probably think twice before I open an email with the subject line, “Chelsea, if you don’t get your dog their booster shot RIGHT AWAY they’re going to DIE.”
Now that sounds like spam or phish-y. Also, I’d wonder why they’re calling me Chelsea… and I don’t have a dog… but, I digress.
