Here are some of the most important:<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Subject_line_and_preheader\"><\/span><strong>Subject line and preheader<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The subject line is the first \u2014 and sometimes only \u2014 thing the recipient sees before deciding whether to open the email.<\/p>\n<p>Right after comes the preheader \u2014 the small preview text often shown alongside the subject line in the inbox.<\/p>\n<p>These two elements act as a kind of teaser for your email. If they don\u2019t spark curiosity or promise something of interest, the email is easily overlooked.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sending_time\"><\/span><strong>Sending time<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Timing also matters. If you send emails when your audience is most active, the likelihood of them being opened increases significantly.<\/p>\n<p>The optimal time can vary depending on industry, recipient type and purpose.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Segmentation_and_relevance\"><\/span><strong>Segmentation and relevance<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The more targeted your emails are, the higher the chance they\u2019ll be opened.<\/p>\n<p>This requires strong segmentation and an understanding of what your recipients are interested in. A generic mass email is rarely the path to high engagement.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mickyweis.com\/en\/market-segmentation\/\">Read more about market segmentation here.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Practical_steps_how_to_increase_your_open_rate\"><\/span><strong>Practical steps: how to increase your open rate<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Work_actively_with_your_subject_lines\"><\/span>1. <strong>Work actively with your subject lines<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A good subject line should be short, relevant, and evoke curiosity.<\/p>\n<p>This could be through a question, a clear benefit, or a sense of urgency.<\/p>\n<p>Try different phrasings over time to find the tone and style that works best for your audience.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mickyweis.com\/en\/a-b-testing\/\">Learn more about A\/B splittesting here.<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Use_the_preheader_text_strategically\"><\/span>2. <strong>Use the preheader text strategically<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The preheader usually appears right under the subject line in the inbox and can support the subject with extra information or a call to action.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s an often-overlooked opportunity to convince the reader that the email is worth opening.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Optimise_your_sender_name\"><\/span>3. <strong>Optimise your sender name<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Consider whether you should use your company name, a personal contact, or a combination of both.<\/p>\n<p>The most important thing is that the recipient recognises and trusts the sender.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Segment_your_lists\"><\/span>4. <strong>Segment your lists<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>By dividing your recipients into relevant segments \u2014 for example based on behaviour, interests or past interactions \u2014 you can send more targeted content that feels personal and relevant.<\/p>\n<p>This typically results in higher open rates and fewer unsubscribes.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Choose_the_right_sending_time\"><\/span>5. <strong>Choose the right sending time<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Test different sending times.<\/p>\n<p>Many find good results sending early in the morning or just after lunch, but it depends on your audience.<\/p>\n<p>Use data to identify when your recipients are most active.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Continuously_test_and_optimise\"><\/span>6. <strong>Continuously test and optimise<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>There is no one-size-fits-all formula for a high open rate.<\/p>\n<p>It requires ongoing experimentation and refinement. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mickyweis.com\/en\/a-b-testing\/\">A\/B testing<\/a> subject lines, sender names, and sending times can provide valuable insight into what works best for your specific audience.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mickyweis.com\/en\/e-mail-marketing-guide\/\">Read more about e-mail marketing here.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_open_rate_is_important\"><\/span><strong>Why open rate is important<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While open rate is a useful indicator, it should not stand alone.
