Email Secrets: Tips to Skyrocket Your Open Rates!
- Craft click-worthy subject lines: Think puns, emojis, and the occasional monkey joke—if it makes you giggle, it might make your subscribers click.
- Personalize like you’re their BFF: Use their name, reference their last purchase, or slip in a quirky detail. Nothing says “Open me!” like an email that acts like you’ve known each other since middle school.
- Tidy up your send times: Use analytics to figure out when your subscribers are most likely to open. Then launch your emails at that golden hour.
- Master the preview text: Give ‘em a sneak peek that teases the main event without spoiling the punchline—like a movie trailer for your inbox.
- Segment your audience: Because sending cat memes to dog lovers is a recipe for a one-way ticket to the trash folder—don’t let your emails become digital confetti (made possible by list management).
- Avoid the spam traps: Skip shady words like “FREE MONEY!!!!” or “OPEN NOW OR CRY LATER.” Just…no. Let’s keep your emails out of spam jail.
- Use an internal email tool: Supercharge your campaigns with ContactMonkey’s open tracking and real-time email analytics—so you can finally start celebrating open rates that soar!
