Title/Subject
- Use limited number of words (8-10)
- Don’t make the readers feel that you are trying to sell something.
- Specially try not to use the words like “Free, Advertising, Sell, Buy, Offers, Discount, Win, etc” coz that will make the email more in to spam category.
- Make it newsworthy - think about subject lines as headlines in newspapers. Does it catch enough of your attention to read on?
