The latest article on ‘MarketingProfs’ is titled “The Most (and Least) Effective Keywords in Email Subject Lines”.

Ayaz Nanji says, “Emails with the word “alert” in their subject lines have a 38.1% higher than average open rate and 61.8% higher click rate, according to a recent study by British marketing firm Adestra.

The keywords “free delivery” (+50.7% higher open rate, +135.4% click rate) and “bulletin” (+15.8%, +12.7%) also performed very well in the email campaigns analyzed.

On the other hand, “report” (-23.7% average lower open rate, -54.8% click rate), “learn” (-35.5%, -60.8%), and “book” (-4.6%, -25.4%) had a negative effect. “Newsletter” showed a marginal effect on open rates (+0.7%), but had an adverse effect on click rates (-18.7%.)“.
