Copy-Powered Email Headers

Sure, the best attention-grabbing approach to go for when it comes to Email headers, is to use an eye-catching graphic. But if you want to multiply your click-thru rates by huge margins, it’s essential that you also add powerful copy-written headlines. A headline that delivers.

You’ve got to make sure that it’s not a click-bait headline. There’s a very thin line between copywriting and click-bait, and you can’t afford to get it wrong. ‘Click-bait’ can cause some VERY long-term website damage if you don’t understand the subtle differences involved here.

Google absolutely HATES click-bait and will punish offenders who use it. Think of it from their point of view. They want to provide their users with top search results right? Not some spammy click-bait that will annoy and disappoint their searcher. It affects their adverti$ers too. Just don’t go there buddy.

The Copywriter Perspective

This is where copywriting kicks in. You see, copywriters look at things from a different angle. They zone in on the *WIIFM! This is just one of the techniques a pro copywriter will use, there are many under their command.

And you know what? This is what can make all the difference with your click-thru and opening rates. And that leads to more sales and sign-ups. Here are a few copy-powered email headers I designed to demonstrate this process in action. Their sole intention? ‘Get the Click!‘.
