You don’t need a team of data scientists to prove that email newsletters are incredibly effective.
Newsletters are a perfect way to increase traffic to your blog or website by providing value, generating interest, and personalizing content.
In contrast to cold emailing when your recipients most probably never ever heard of you and don’t expect any emails coming from you, your newsletter recipients are your customers who are waiting to hear from you.
Brand retention is a key component of brand loyalty, which can be achieved with email newsletters. A how-to series would be a helpful way to help customers understand your product and how to use it. You can show your customers that your product is continually improving by sending them emails whenever you have any updates on it. Providing special discounts or answering questions about your brand would also be a good idea.
However, the subject line of your email is what determines whether the recipient will open it, ignore it, or, worst of all, mark it as spam.
In this article, I’ll list the most effective subject lines for email newsletters.
Subject lines that provoke urgency (Last chance, last call subject lines)
We all fear missing out, whether we’re marketers or consumers. Last-chance subject lines are effective because few people make purchasing decisions unless they have to.
It is possible to make what you offer seem rare, and special by using certain keywords and phrases.

5. 🔔Last call.

Email newsletters with product updates are among the most popular ones. Customers will definitely appreciate your continuous work on the product or service they use.
In your subject lines for newsletters, you should mention the most requested update that will probably catch your customers’ attention.
