Here are some ad subject lines that went directly to my Yahoo trash bin. The headlines shown below were not SPAM as I did opt-in. But the message contained content that Yahoo felt was spam.
By the way, I am a sucker for local ads because they usually offer discounts. Love that!
What can we learn from them, if anything? Are they creative? Do they demand action?
Member Perks: Time is Running Out ($100 Savings) - this one comes from someone I trust, so I may open it, maybe not
How big is your list? - has some pull power
This site could be banned at any moment - moderate pull
The Habits Of Successful Home Party Business Owners! - strong pull for me
Caroline Middlebrook - this is Caroline's subject line. I open everything from her. I can say that for only a treasured few. Name branding works if you have IT.
[chrisbrogan.com] - the same for Chris Brogan, I open it all - see how he continues to brand his name?
Your Weekly Showtimes from Park Cinema 9 - I like this one because it comes from our local movie house and I want to see what they have to offer
Walmart.com Free Shipping and Rollback Specials! - like a magnet for frugal Greg
Only 2 Objectives For You Online Business - this is an example of a newsletter with really good stuff but really crappy headlines, in my opinion
Small Business Trends - another name branding effort - has good content!
Say Hi On The Inner Circle Forum - Willie Crawford will not be happy that I did not whitelist his newsletter, but I just don't do that? I do often check my SPAM file. But this pulls me in because Willie earned my trust.
like Larry and Sergey from Google called.. - this one had two things going for it -1) I respect the author, Jim Morris, of NicheBot.com; 2) I love to hear about Larry and Sergey and any Google news.
What do you think about email headlines?
