The Science Behind High-Open Subject Lines

📱

Mobile-First Length

iPhone shows ~40 characters. Gmail on desktop shows ~60. Front-load your value — the most important words must appear in the first 30 characters or they get cut off.

🎯

Curiosity, Not Clickbait

"You won't believe what happened" gets clicks but kills trust. "The pricing mistake that cost us $12K" creates curiosity while promising value. Always deliver what the subject line implies.

🚫

Spam Filter Avoidance

ALL CAPS, multiple exclamation marks, and words like "FREE," "URGENT," or "ACT NOW" train spam filters to bury your email. One power word is persuasive. Three looks like a scam.
