Subject Line best practices
• Your subject line should describe the subject of your email.
• Always set your subscribers' expectations during the opt-in process about what kinds of emails they'll be receiving.
• Don't confuse newsletters with promotions. If your email is a newsletter, put the name and issue of the newsletter in your subject line. Because that's what's inside. If your email is a special promotion, tell them what's inside. Either way, just don't write your subject lines like advertisements.
• When it comes to email marketing, the best subject lines tell what's inside, and the worst subject lines sell what's inside.

Writing subject lines
• Start your subject line with a verb focused on the value to the customer without selling to hard.
• Personalize (as appropriate)
Ex. “Get 20% discount on ____ this Friday”or “Josué, get a free desert for your birthday”or“Celebrate spring time with your product”
The only thing that matters is your customer: TEST!
