        Tips to create\u00a0the perfect Valentine\u2019s email subject lines<\/h2>\n

        Optimize your subject line for your subscribers<\/h3>\n

        A subject line should compel a subscriber to open the email. You have to choose your words wisely, especially since space is limited.<\/p>\n

        Most subject lines\u00a0are about 50 characters<\/a>, so your word selection is crucial. Get familiar with the email clients and devices your subscribers are using so you can optimize your subject line length for them. You can see this information in Campaign Monitor\u00a0in the Campaign Reports section under Email Client Usage.<\/p>\n

        Here\u2019s an example from our own Newsletter subscribers:<\/p>\n

        \"most<\/a><\/p>\n

        Since many of our subscribers view newsletters in Gmail and on iPhones, we optimize our subject line length for those devices. An ideal length is between 41 characters (portrait view on an iPhone) and 70 characters for Gmail.<\/p>\n

        Read more about how to determine the best length for your\u00a0subject line in this post<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

        Show the love in your Valentine\u2019s email<\/h3>\n

        It might seem obvious, but you should mention the holiday in your\u00a0subject line<\/a>, or use words that are associated with it. You\u2019ll notice most of the subject lines above use the phrase\u00a0Valentines Day<\/em>\u00a0or words that coincide with the holiday, like\u00a0love<\/em>,\u00a0sweet<\/em>, or\u00a0romance<\/em>.<\/p>\n

        Or, for those\u00a0last-minute\u00a0planners, phrases like\u00a0last day<\/em>,\u00a0not too late<\/em>,\u00a0last-minute\u00a0valentine\u2019s gifts<\/em>,\u00a0or\u00a0there\u2019s\u00a0still time<\/em>\u00a0will compel readers to open.<\/p>\n

        Add an incentive to your Valentine subject line<\/h3>\n

        If you can work an incentive into the subject line, do so. For example, if you\u2019re running an offer for free shipping or a Valentine\u2019s Day sale, be sure to let readers know about it in the subject line. Alluding to your offer ahead of time will increase the likelihood that your subscribers open your email.<\/p>\n

        Use an emoji to increase the ?<\/h3>\n

        Do you want to set your email apart from others? Consider\u00a0adding an\u00a0emoji<\/a>. Brands using\u00a0emojis\u00a0in their subject lines saw a\u00a045% increase in their unique\u00a0open rates<\/a>.<\/p>\n

        The \u2764\ufe0f is one of the most popular\u00a0emojis, and it\u00a0can generate 6% more opens<\/a>. What better occasion to break it out than Valentine\u2019s Day? Several of the subject lines listed above contain a variation of the heart\u00a0emoji, which means this symbol can be used for a number of email types.<\/p>\n

        If you\u2019re planning to\u00a0use\u00a0emojis, be sure it makes sense for your brand. It should fit with your brand\u2019s overall tone. As always, it\u2019s a great idea to\u00a0a\/b\u00a0test\u00a0subject lines to see if\u00a0emojis\u00a0resonate with your audience.<\/p>\n
