| What gets you to open an email?
I woke up this morning and of course first thing I did was to look at my email.. Well..I have to say this. I am just getting so tired of the “catch me phrases” that litter the subject line. So I thought what gets me to open an email? For instance these do not work for me:
I’ve got bad news…Do they really think i want bad news first thing in the morning? Just keep it to yourself!
Can I tell you a secret…NO you cant, I cant keep secrets
Stop what your doing and read this…I don’t want to stop, go away
The secret is out…Who cares if the secret is out, another new secret will be out tomorrow.
Someone finally cured…Oh yeah right, like I believe that one.
Important-Must read in next five minutes…OMG that has to be the silliest thing I ever heard
Brand new…Is there such a thing as original thought anymore?
blah
blah
and blah
then click
click
click
and delete
So that is my personal opinion on writing a grabbing line for emails which are the words that should get me to open an email. I am simply tired of all the ick and crap that is written to get me to open an email. So what do I think will get me to open an email? The persons name is the first thing, and the only other thing that will get me to open an email in the subject place is something that is not hype.
Subjects with I’m sorry, You just have to look, Sorry I am sending this out again but it is so important, just don’t work with me. I need bold. I am selling this, Buy this because, I tried this and it worked, I want to help you and things like that.
Yes this was a bit of a personal rant, but I cant believe I am the only one out there thinking these things.
