Short Email Subject Lines

My buddies send me emails
with the entire message
in the subject line.
This can be frustrating
as the subject line
is often cut off.

Barry Moltz
gives this tip
on email subject lines
(all of the tips
in this very short article
are awesome)

“Keep it short.
Twenty-seven percent of email
is opened on mobile devices.
Many mobile email tools cut off titles
at 25 characters.
Use a tool like Litmus,
which checks how
a subject line and email
will actually appear in prospects’ inboxes
based on the tool they’re using.”

Book titles are usually 3 or 4 words long
and are designed to stop readers.
Your email subject lines
should be as catchy
and not much longer.

Keep email subject lines short.
