Improve Your Email Opening Rate: Writing Email Previews
In modern email marketing, email recipients are looking at more than just the subject line of an email. Because emails show a preview of the actual content of an email, it is critical that your preview text is well written and gets to the point. Here’s our breakdown:
- Use your recipient’s first name
- Write your emails in a top-down approach
- Include all the important content in the first few lines
- Review your preview text in its “draft” form before sending
Your goal with email marketing is, first of all, to get your email opened. When recipients are getting 50+ or 100+ emails a day, your emails could easily get lost in all the hullabaloo of a full inbox. So, make your emails stand out.
