Email Tip from the Inbox Coach
Here are some things you can do to improve the performance of your emails.
Subject line personalization works—77% of users say it boosts performance. That’s not “some belief”—it’s facts. 🎯📊
But here’s the catch: it only works if you do it right. Skip the cringe-worthy automation like “Hello [Blank],” because that’s just embarrassing.
Now let’s talk about emojis. 73% of users say they help, and if you’ve been reading our newsletter, you already know they work for us. Spoiler alert: we’ll keep using them. 👍
Want more juice? Animated GIFs (72%) and dynamic content (68%) personalized for your audience add a serious edge.
But here’s the kicker—AI content and video? Only 34% say they make a difference so far. Doesn’t mean they’re dead in the water, just not quite there yet.

Our take: keep it real. Make your content stand out with an authentic voice, add some strategic emojis or images, and speak directly to your audience. Don’t overthink it—just make it good.
