Having a large mailing list is all well and good, but if your subscribers never actually see what you are sending them then it means nothing. You need your list to be responsive.

How to Get More Subscribers to Open Your Emails
Having a large mailing list is all well and good, but if your subscribers never
actually see what you are sending them then it means nothing. You need your list
to be responsive. You need them to open your emails and hang on to your every
word.
When I think about all the emails that land in my inbox every day, there are certain
people I especially look out for. If it’s from a particular marketer then I will
ALWAYS read what they have sent to me, purely because of who it’s from…
Here’s how to build that relationship with your list and get more subscribers to
open your emails.
1. Give people a reason to open your emails
If all you do is sell then people latch onto this pretty damn quickly! Even if they
don’t unsubscribe in the first place they are highly unlikely to open your emails
because they know that each time you’re trying to sell them something. Give
people a reason to open what you send.
Of course you need to sell from time to time, but also provide good content that
people can actually use. Make people look forward to receiving your emails. You
want people to see your name and think ‘hey I must open that because it’s from
such and such a body and I know I’ll benefit from reading it…’
2. Think about your subject line
Your email subject line is crucial in your quest to get more subscribers to open
your emails. It really helps if you can either make people curious about the content
or if you can convey the point of your email within the subject line.
Both tactics can be effective – it depends on your target market, the style, and the
type of email you are sending. I like to make sure that the subject line is relevant
and related to the actual content.
3. Consider the time

Sending emails on certain days and times will yield much better results than others.
Again, it all depends on your target audience and where they live.
When will your subscribers be at their computers? Try different times and test to
see which times work best for you. A lot of people take the opinion that Tuesday is
a good day, however I have always found it pretty poor and the competition is
massive! Find out what works for you and don’t forget time differences. If you live
in the USA but most of your subscribers are in Australia, for example, then don’t
hit them when they will all be in bed!
