08.03.09 Create Eye Catching Email Advertising For More Opens  By Denise OBerry I know I've talked about this subject before, but it bears repeating. Your email newsletter competes for eyeballs from your readers. Unless you have a readership sitting at their computers waiting for just the right email from you, you have only a few seconds to get their attention before they hit the delete key. Based on what I've been seeing in my email box, there are a lot of you who didn't “get the memo” on this topic. During this month, I have received no less than ten email newsletters that have the subject: Yes, at least ten newsletters from different companies had that subject line. Not good. And worse than that, who cares? A boring title like that doesn't entice me to open the mail and find out what you have to tell me.
Make the subject interesting so I want to open the mail and read what you have to say. Convio has a good post about what makes an email subject line successful. In a nutshell: - Tell the reader what's inside. - Don't use the same subject line for each issue. - Don't include your company name or date. Always remember to look at your client / prospect communications from their perspective. If you do, it will help you spice things up a bit and get you more opens - which is one of the objectives in the first place.
