Sometimes I wonder what they're thinking

This is what my promo inbox looks like today:

Really original stuff in there, huh?

[FIRST NAME GOES HERE], this is your competition.

Do you see how easy it is to stand out? All you need to do is NOT write Subject Lines With Capital Letters That Say Some Version Of:

Sale! LAST DAY! 25% Off! Sale! Extra! Flash Sale!

It boggles my mind sometimes. These are big companies. Macy's. Skechers. Stuhrling. Pottery Barn. If they invested a little - just a teeny, tiny bit - in their email marketing, it could mean millions more for them.

But hey, their mistake is your gain.

All you need are subject lines like:

Those are just a small sampling of high-performing subject lines I've written for clients.

When everyone else is zigging, just zag a little and you'll stand out. And make more sales.

​Wanna try it for yourself? It's not that hard. What's a fun phrase related to the product you're selling? What would you say to your friend when discussing the product?

​Now throw out the "Look At Our Latest Items" subject line and replace it with that phrase.

Or, you can just have me do it for you. Subject lines are my fun time. Also the body copy.

Hit reply and let's get started,
