Tips for Higher Open Rates
Front-load the hook
Phones show about 35–40 characters. Put the most important words first.
Always set preview text
It is the second line people see. Use it to add a reason to open, not to repeat the subject.
Check the whole email
Scan the message body too with our spam words checker.
A/B test
Send two subject lines to small parts of your list and use the winner for the rest.
Use a real sender name
"Priya from Digital Vishnu" often gets more opens than "noreply".
Score your headlines too

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good email subject line length?
About 25 to 50 characters, or 4 to 9 words. Phones show only around 35 to 40 characters, so put the key words first.
Should I use emojis in subject lines?
One relevant emoji can help it stand out. More than one often looks like spam and may not display well everywhere.
What is email preview text?
The short line shown after the subject in most inboxes. If you do not set it, the inbox shows the first words of your email instead.
Do personalised subject lines work?
Often, yes. Adding the reader's first name or speaking directly with "you" usually feels more relevant. Make sure your list has the names first.
Does this tool send any email?
No. It only checks the text you type, in your browser. Nothing is sent or stored on our server.
