Today’s typically overcrowded Inbox is a veritable battle zone of brands vying for the attention of subscribers who often spend just mere seconds deciding which emails to open, which to save for later, and which to delete without even opening. The role of the subject line is therefore crucial, because if it fails to capture the subscriber’s attention or allude effectively to unmissable content within, the email may never see the light of day no matter how great its content may be. Here are some examples of standout email subject lines.
