Most marketers realize the importance of building an email list online. Having a good list of prospects to mail to or refer to your website can be gold if you know how to do it right. While many online marketers are focusing totally on the act of building a list, many forget about the importance of writing good email subject lines.
Think about it. Before anyone ever reads your email or skims through it, they must first open it. They will not open it unless they see some interest in it because of an eye-catching headline.
One of the best ways to write an order-pulling headline for your emails is to keep them benefit-oriented. What is meant by a benefit-oriented headline? Well you must focus on what the main benefits are for those who actually open your email and read it. Your subscribers must be shown from the start what they will get if they open it.
For example if you had a website centered on homemade ice cream recipes, you must state what's in it for your subscribers if they open it. Of course they know that they can get their hands on some homemade ice cream, but you must go a bit further. How does it make them feel when they eat delicious ice cream? Can they save money from making their own ice cream at home? Given these questions you can write some pretty good email subject lines.
"Indulge In Butter Pecan Heaven", "Baskin Robbins Right At Home", and "Better Tasting Sundaes From Your Kitchen" are all good examples of eye-catching email subject lines that will place some type of benefit in your subscribers' minds.
