Your best autoresponder subject line!

8 replies
I'm concerned that my autoresponder followup's are not being opened or maybe even seen due to Spam Folders.

If you have a opt-in squeeze page and offer a free report/ebook, what is your best subject line?

I'm planning on several campaigns with a lot of follow up emails so I'm concerned that they are seen.

Any help is appreciated!

Tom

    I am in general a pretty positive person, but my best subject lines have been geared toward the negative. Recently, I have had pretty good luck with

    "No"

    "Nothing to see here"

    and

    "The worst thing I ever did"

    Please try those out if you like. I hope they work well for you.

      thanks. I'll add these to my swipe file.

      My best subject lines have been...

      "My attorney wants to speak with you..."

      "Oops I'm sorry, I goofed..."

        From my swipe file to yours.

        Although, truth be told, mine is more like a swipe room, rather than a file.

        Michael's Wife: "Michael, we are not getting another stoage unit to hold all these direct mail pieces and printed out emails."

        Michael: "Actually, I was hoping we could buy a bigger house, this time with a 5 car garage."

        Holy crap email gangster!

        That is so awesome!

        I gotta figure out how to legitimately get that one into the rotation.

          I love "My attorney wants to speak with you..."

          I'm just unsure how to use it without an angry response when they read the enclosed content!

          Any additional comments Matt?

            I recently did very well with...

            "Why Would This Have Happened?"

            I'm not sure about others, but if I saw an email titled "My attorney wants to speak with you..." and it wasn't truly a potential legal issue that is being discussed I would be looking for the unsubscribe button.

            I'm all for surprise headlines, negative headlines and shocking headlines so long as they are in context...

    Tom, you could do it for a joint venture request.
