MagManager Marketing Email Tips and Examples
Email remains the most effective way to not only sell advertising to your prospects, but engage, and support them.
Here are some tips you can implement in your next email shot via MagManager.
The key is the SUBJECT LINE.
Every successful email subject line falls under one of four categories:
- Curiosity
- Benefit
- Scarcity
- Results
Let’s look at each one in detail:
-
Curiosity
These subject lines get the email opened by making the reader curious. They are based on mystery and leave the reader wanting more.
Here are some examples of ‘Curiosity’ subject lines that we’ve used in the past:
- Getting low on leads
- Booking for (client name)
- Was this you [FIRSTNAME]?
- You’re busy so I will be quick
- Benefit
These subject lines get straight to the point. They outline the benefits of what you’re offering right in the subject line.
- Get your advert in front of 10,000 readers
- How to make sure your advert stands out from the crowd
- How to get more local leads
See how the subject lines are very different to the ‘Curiosity’ based ones. They are clear, to the point and tell you exactly what you’re going to find within the email.
- Scarcity
These subject lines are mainly used for sales messages and launches. They convey urgency and the fact that the reader might miss out on something soon.
- Copy deadline is tomorrow
- Last Chance to book in our Christmas Issue
- Deadline: 5:00pm
- You’re about to miss out [FIRSTNAME]…
- Results
These subject lines use proof, quotes and case studies to build credibility and get your email opened.
Here are some examples of ‘Results’ subject lines that work for us:
- £5,500 booking from one advert in your magazine
- Advertiser receives over 22 Leads from our Magazine
- We had 20,101 facebook likes from your readers
All of these subject lines use very specific numbers. That’s the key to their success – the numbers are real – do not round up.
If you want your emails to get opened then build your subject line around one of these four categories.
BONUS: If you can merge your recipient’s name into the subject line you’ll see a huge boost in open rates.
Examples:
- Hi [FIRSTNAME]
- FAO [FIRSTNAME]
- This is for you [FIRSTNAME]…
Our eyes are naturally drawn to our name when we see it, so by including it in your subject line you’ll draw more attention.
The ‘second’ Subject Line
What we’re talking about here is the often forgotten ‘second’ subject line.
When you look at your inbox you’ll see just three things in each email.
- From Name
- Subject Line
- Second Subject Line ← or ‘preview’
The Second Subject Line is the preview of the first few sentences of your email.
The subject line is critical to getting your email opened, and yet, so many people just ignore what they use in their emails.
So let’s look at some good examples of second subject:
‘Hi Mandy, just checking you have seen the email below:’
‘Hi Mandy, This is your last chance to book in our Christmas Issue’
Hi Mandy, We have ONLY 2 slots left for our leaflet distribution’
Timing – When to send your email?
What’s the first thing you do in the morning?
If you’re like 49% of people, you grab your phone and begin the daily ritual of deleting all the spam emails from your inbox.
There’s a simple way to avoid your messages being purged, deleted and unread.
Send them later in the day!
Send your emails later in the morning when people are out of bed and in the office or send them in the afternoon.
REMEMBER: all markets and audiences are different, so the best thing to do is to test what time of day your email list responds to best.
Letting customers opt out
Customers have the right to stop their information being used for direct marketing.
You must make it easy to opt out – always include an ‘unsubscribe’ link.

Good morning (Primary Contact First Name),
Copy deadline is coming this Monday for the next set of (magazine names).
