Email Subject Line FAQ
The ideal email subject line length is 41-50 characters or 6-10 words. This ensures your subject line displays fully on both desktop and mobile devices. Mobile email clients typically show only 25-30 characters, so front-load your most important information.
Subject lines are the primary factor in email open rates, accounting for up to 47% of recipients' decision to open an email. Personalized subject lines can increase open rates by 26%, while subject lines with urgency or scarcity can boost opens by 22%. Clear, benefit-focused subject lines consistently outperform vague or generic ones.
Avoid spam trigger words like "FREE," "URGENT," "ACT NOW," "GUARANTEED," "CASH," "WINNER," and excessive punctuation (!!!). Also avoid all caps, misleading claims, and overly promotional language. Instead, focus on value, benefits, and genuine urgency. Test your subject lines with spam checkers before sending.
Emojis can increase open rates by up to 45% when used appropriately. Use 1-2 relevant emojis maximum, ensure they display correctly across email clients, and match your brand tone. Avoid overuse, inappropriate emojis, or using them as replacements for important words. Test emoji display before sending to your full list.
A/B test subject lines for every major campaign and at least monthly for regular newsletters. Test one element at a time (length, personalization, urgency, etc.) with a statistically significant sample size (minimum 1,000 recipients per variant). Run tests for at least 4-6 hours to account for different time zones and reading habits.
Yes, optimal subject line length varies by industry. B2B emails often perform better with longer, more descriptive subject lines (50-60 characters), while retail and e-commerce benefit from shorter, action-oriented lines (30-40 characters). News and media can use longer subject lines, while mobile-first industries should stick to 25-30 characters maximum.
