Develop a mindset for writing email promo's

In order to get good at writing email promotions you have to practice, it can be compared to learning how to ride a bike, you can read all the books you like but until you get actually get on a bike and ride it, do you actually get any good at it.

The most important part of any email promo is the subject line.

If your subject line does not arouse the curiosity of your reader then chances are its headed for the deletion scrap bin. Write blind subject lines. Blind means telling people what your email is about or will teach them but without giving away the contents. Don't give away the contents of your email in your subject line if your reader doesn’t have to open your email to see what the contents are about then they wont.

Keep your email's content relevant to the source your readers came from. Don't offer people dog breeding tips that have signed up to receive a newsletter on classic cars.

Increasing your open rates even more.

People have less time to read emails these days, most people receive hundreds a day and will only open the ones that have some benefit for them or arouse their curiosity.

Keypoints

* Always keep your email tightly focused and on one subject.
