Short, must sound exciting esp with emojis :)

In truth, after I finished with the main functionality of my product, I use the generation of my application to write emails)
It was a long process to get it to generate good text in the end, but it was worth it. Now, based on thousands of professional emails that have been manually selected and added as AI reference, I can generate an email on any topic.
Craft concise and relevant subject lines that pique curiosity, use action verbs, and offer value to engage recipients and improve open ratesπ
Crafting email subject lines is like curating mini-party invitations.
Start with a dash of intrigue β a peek at the exciting shindig happening inside the email.
Short and snazzy is the name of the game, like a haiku that leaves them curious for more. Sprinkle a hint of urgency if it suits the occasion β a little "act now" nudge. And don't forget the emoji confetti! π
They're like the winks and high-fives that make your invitation impossible to resist. Just remember, honesty is the life of the party β make sure your subject line vibe matches the email groove!
Some that have worked for me -
"Guess What? π€ It's Your Lucky Day for 30% Off!"
"Psst... Don't Miss Out on Your VIP Access to the Summer Sale!"
Great insights shared in this thread (especially the ones emphasizing the importance of conciseness, action-oriented, and a certain level of urgency)! I'll simply add this for inspiration: I check all the emails from my industry that I've opened in the past month. If I opened them, it's probably because their subject lines were good enough and I try to add my personal touch.
Write them short !
Giving away my secret formula here: Full name | Phone number | Mobile
It stands out from the crowd and gets the clicks
Study about copywriting.
1. Human-written content
β¨ Not saying you can't use ChatGPT, but do customise enough to make people think it's written by human - unique, authentic, thoughtful and casual
2. Mention their name
β¨ Don't use it everytime, but it works if you use it once in a while. My CTR increases from 35% to 55% just by using this trick in important emails!
3. Add an emoji if that suits your brand
β¨ Might be controversial but I do think we're all humans, adding one emoji in front of the subject line makes your reader feels it's more casual and less traditional and salesy!
Hope this helps!

GPT-4 as an initial framework - I think of it as a copy assistant writing my first draft before I need to think.
Once you've prompted multiple times and are getting closer to something that resembles an optimal subject - pull them off and put your own personal spin on the subjects. Descriptive prompting is a necessity.
ChatGPT handles this task very well. But you need to set the task correctly. A good OR does not always translate into a good CR. The cover should match the content - that's the most important thing.
The key to success is less clickbait and more soulfulness, clarity and simplicity.
That's the second interesting question from you. Fooling you.
Thanks everyone for sharing!
Maybe ChatGPT can help.
A thoughtful emoji gets attention.π¦
