Pro tips
Make any idea work harder
- Keep subject lines short. Aim for 6 to 9 words so they don’t get cut off on mobile.
- One email, one goal. A single clear call to action outperforms several competing ones.
- Match the offer to the audience. Service offers for service customers, upgrade offers for owners with equity.
- Plan holidays early. Submit holiday and event campaigns at least 2 weeks before the send date.
- Include offer details. Prices, dates, stock numbers and disclaimers help our team launch faster.
