Frequently Asked Questions
What is an ideal subject line character length?
Between 35 and 50 characters (or 6 to 9 words). This ensures your entire message is visible on mobile smartphones without awkward truncation.
What are Power Words?
Power words are psychologically proven trigger terms (such as 'exclusive', 'secret', 'proven', 'breakthrough', 'announcing') that spark curiosity or urgency, driving higher clicks.
Why are ALL CAPS penalized?
Using more than 50% capital letters is heavily penalized by internet service providers (ISPs) and spam algorithms like SpamAssassin, landing your email in the junk folder.
