Email is still an important marketing strategy for any home based business owner. Without the proper subject line your email is likely to get trash before the recipient ever gets to the body of email, rendering you campaign efforts useless.
When you're creating your email subject line keep the recipient in mind. You are one of many emails staring them in face and vying for their attention.
Here are a few tips and strategies to keep in mind as you create that so very important subject line.
One great tip is to use the recipient's name. People love the personal touch. Test this in your autoresponder, nothing worse than getting "Hello {FRIST_NAME}", this looks unprofessional and will go right to the trash.
Second the subject line must address a pain or desire of the recipient. It should answer the questions:
What's in this for me?
Why should I open this first?
Why do I care?
Top name marketers have spent a life time addressing this topic and only a few meet the criteria to get your email opened.
Make your reader curious -Try suggesting that the reading is missing out on something important from your business opportunity niche (e.g., "Tony, are you making this common mistake?). Leaving something to the imagination by posing a question the recipient can't ignore will get the email opened.
Create a sense of urgency – You can do this suggesting limited time or limited quantity (e.g., "Sandy, there's only 48 hours left" or "Sandy, only 27 copies available.). This type of subject line works well with follow up emails. Use it sparingly, so it stays believable.
Share important news or information – Make the recipient feel they are the first ones to hear this important information, (e.g., "Michael, here’s the just release back issue").
Let the recipient know how they can benefit –Make a clear statement as to how they can benefit from opening this email, how they will save money, time or how it can change their lives, (e.g., "Tony, save $50.00 on all flights made this month").
If you use these few simple ideas you will begin to see a dramatic increase in your opened emails and profits for your home based business.
