First, you can include a link to your landing page at the end of the first paragraph or two. A lot of Internet users only briefly check their emails. When they have dozens or hundreds of unread emails in their inbox, it would take too much time to read each of them individually.

Since they will only spend a few seconds reading your email, they’ll likely only read the first paragraph or two. So they won’t make it to the end of your email and click on the link. A simple solution is to include a link at the end of the first paragraph or two.

Email marketing can be very effective if your email actually gets read. Unfortunately because of spam many people will delete most of their email without ever reading it. This is where the subject line comes in.

Writing an effective and attention getting subject line will dramatically increase the chances of your email being opened and read and acted upon. You want to make your subject line as short and descriptive as possible while giving the person a reason to want to open and read the actual email.

Below are some tips on how you can write such a subject line:

1. Keep your subject line short. You want to try to keep it around or below 50 characters.

2. When possible, personalize your email. For example: Mary, do you need to increase your sales? This can increase the chance of the email being opened and read.
