Optimize your Easter email subject lines
Our inbox is full of Easter email subject lines, and a few key trends stick out. First of all, we’ve noticed a lot of Easter puns — hop to it, egg-cellent and similar wordplay. Next, emojis are a popular choice; brands are using the bunny emoji, the emoji with the chick in an egg and more. And finally, we’re seeing a lot of urgency-inducing subject lines to hurry up and shop sales. Many brands are including numbers and percentages in their Easter email subject lines, and this tactic has been proven to increase clickthrough rate in a big way.
