A good subject line is often what determines whether recipients will open your company’s emails. Good subject lines often include a sense of urgency to them (“your prescription is expiring”, “The timer’s going off on your cart!”). Intrigue is useful as well; make the recipient want to find an answer to a question raised in the subject. Additionally, emojis can be eye-catching. A final piece of advice is that there are times to be funny, but you should be direct and concise when sending a serious email.
