How many emails do you get a day? 25? 50? 100+? With all that clutter, you’d think that someone has the magic recipe for the perfect subject line to help drive more opens and conversions.

The subject line of an email is very important and is the first thing a recipient gets to see. Your audience will make a quick judgment based on your subject line and decide whether to open, ignore, delete or mark as spam (eeks!).

We're not saying that every subject line should be award-winning, but carefully planning and analyzing your subject line is important. If you can get a prospect to open your email, it means you're doing a good job. If you can get them to convert through your email then you are #winning!

Here’s an easy to follow Email Subject Line Do's and Don'ts list.
