3 steps to figure out which subject line will perform best for your next email blast.

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010

So you’re scratching your head wondering which subject line will get your email blast opened and read, right?

Scratch no further.  Here’s how we chose the best subject line for a recent campaign.  If you implement this trick, you’ll be sure to improve your email marketing results.

1- Using a list of 14,500 email, we split the list into 3 parts.

  • Test List A – 1,000 emails
  • Test List B – 1,000 emails
  • Final list – 12,500 emails

2- Next we blasted Test List A and Test List B at the same time.

3- Within a few hours we could see clearly which email performed better and used that subject line the next day for the remaining 12,500 emails.

Easy.  Effective.  Smart.
