Sharp Headlines Lead to Sales
Did you know a staggering 77% of email recipients decide whether to open an email or not solely based on the wording of the email headline?
With this knowledge in mind, it is imperative to write eye-catching, engaging and intriguing email headlines.
This is only half the battle though, as the ultimate goal of any email is an action; be it a click through to your website and the products on sale or signing up for a new offer or newsletter.
We achieve this Call-to-Action or CTA in the main body of the email by using a mix between informative and enticing language. This section is pivotal in the pursuit of achieving that essential CTA.
By researching the pain points of customers I can tailor this storytelling section to the exact needs and wants of your target market, ultimately leading to increased brand awareness, website visits and sales!
In this piece about email headlines you may or may not have noticed that I used the industry recognised formula for writing emails.
1. Hook
2. Body
3. Pitch
4. CTA
I first grabbed your attention with the headline, then continued with a very interesting sub-headline, followed by the ‘body’ which contained the story of the email.
I then pitched to you in the final paragraph and left a CTA with the ‘Work with me’ button.
This wasn’t an email but this style is what gets peoples attention and ultimately leads to revenue, it’s been tried and tested time and time again!
