How to Write Amazing, Quite Clickable Email Subject Lines
Are you having a hard time getting a response to your emails?
Here are 3 tips to catch your recipients' attention with an amazing subject line.
#1 Think “Search” Before You Send
How will a person recall your email? Don’t expect them to memorize your message, but do expect them to search. So make sure to use a keyword-rich subject line that can be searched for
Bad: Report
Good: Company X TPS Q2 Report w/ notes and earnings
#2 Make it Action Ready
Get specific. The more precise we get with describing tasks, the quicker they’ll get done.
Bad: August report
Good: Revise August report for corrections per Monday’s meeting
#3 Prefixes, Acronyms, and Abbreviations

For example, you can use “urgent” to clue your recipient in or “NRN” to let them know that there is “no reply needed”.
