\r\nThere are two schools of thought about including a recipient\u2019s name in the subject line: one, people can\u2019t help but be curious about the content of an email that calls them out by name, or two, it might feel disingenuous when the sending is obviously mass-emailing a list. That said, the research showed that emails that included the recipient\u2019s name in the subject line dramatically outperformed those that didn\u2019t. \r\n

\r\nIn fact, the test email opens increased by 20% when the recipient\u2019s name was included in the subject line. It also showed that fewer people were likely to unsubscribe from future emails \u2013 a 17% decrease. This boosts the audience for future campaigns.\r\n

\r\nWhat does that mean for marketers? Personalizing email subject lines can increase opens even when the content is not specific to the recipient, and keep them engaged in future campaigns, because consumers spend more time processing the messages. \r\n<\/p>\r\n
