Crafting an eye-catching subject line for your email can be a cumbersome task, and yet it's vitally important. If you're a retail business, it can be make-or-break when trying to drive sales. Personally, I am not clicking through every email in my Gmail promotions tab. Truly, the ones I do open come down to whether I'm enticed by the subject line. So how do you craft an effective one?
There are several approaches you can take, including:

I like to use personalization for sales email subject lines: You, Your.
I find adding numbers to the subject line, as well as words like Free (which no longer gets caught in most SPAM filters) can increase open rates.
More than anything, though it needs to focus on WIIFM: What's In It For Me (the subscriber). Sending targeted emails with compelling subject lines is like a 1-2 punch!

Showcasing testimonials or success stories from your clients is a great way to build trust and credibility. When people see real results, they are more likely to engage with your offer.
Make sure your audience knows they’re getting something really valuable. Whether it’s a discount, exclusive access, or a free resource, the value you provide should be clear and super appealing.

Piggy-backing on @MelanieDiehl's recommendation for personalization, I also recommend using the recipient's name in the subject line. This is really only effective if you have all of your subscribers' first names in your database; otherwise, the filler word that you use ("friend" or "client" or something else generic) won't pack the same punch.
