Best practices: Subjects
Compelling subject lines give people a reason to check out the content. That’s why you should be careful when coming up with compelling subject lines because it’s an important part of your email strategy. Although it may seem like a small detail, it should not be left to chance.
You can come up with the best killer listings, but if you don’t have a great email subject line, your message will never be read.
- Everything starts with a good subject line; every single email will have the same starting point as a subject line; think carefully about those words.
- Be as much as personal as you can, people love to see his name, love to know companies, partners, clients know their name use it: "Hi Jhon, Here is some information for you".
- Short and simple as never before, Use no more than 9 words and 60 characters, this is to ensure your subject will be readable across any device and service (Mobiles has limited space).
- Share scarcity, curiosity, and the missing opportunity, These are psychological tricks to make people act. They are action requesters for recipients without being too aggressive, for example, "Last opportunity to see this property" or "Last 3 vacation homes in FL."
- Emojis, great! but carefully, don't use more than one emoji, use it to support your message not to replace it, and finally, if your personality or your company's won't fit well with emojis then don't use it, is not going to help you.
