Dive into the world of crafting effective subject lines for your digital PR campaigns with insights from Helena's comprehensive study.
Timestamps:
00:00:00 - Intro
00:01:07 - Can you lay out the methodology for your study?
00:02:35 - Are those headline types primarily what you all send at Reboot?
00:03:22 - What industries did you send to?
00:04:05 - Why do you think subject lines with questions have had a 13 percent lower open rate than headlines without questions?
00:04:43 - Could you give us an example of a question subject line?
00:06:29 - So, if I were writing a post about, say, the 10 best beaches in the UK, what would a subject line question be?
00:08:30 - Why do you think open rates weren't impacted by subject lines with keywords like data, study, or survey?
00:09:34 - Did you test anything like including the word "exclusive"?
00:10:24 - Are there any other keywords besides "survey" or "data" that people should avoid?
00:11:37 - Can you clarify what you mean by a listicle subject line?
00:13:28 - Why do you think buzzwords helped open rates?
00:14:48 - Using our beaches example, are you saying it would make sense to try to find some type of event or buzzword that you can kind of tie that to?
00:16:20 - Is it better to tie these keywords or buzzwords in the ideation stage, or do you find it doesn't really matter?
00:18:34 - What subject line do you use for a feeler email?
00:19:53 - Do you recommend brainstorming lots of potential subject lines before choosing the best?
00:20:52 - Is that in Slack or do you have a formalized process?
00:21:18 - Can you expand on what it means to tailor the headline to a journalist?
00:22:52 - How far do you get into personalizing per journalist?
00:24:28 - Is personalization more about understanding the journalist's preferences?
00:24:57 - Do you feel like there's ever a time when you should definitely personalize vs not?
00:26:35 - Are there tips that you have for speeding up personalization?
00:28:34 - Why is the subject line word length so important?
00:32:06 - Any final thoughts on the study?
00:33:52 - Did you ever experiment with putting the website name in the subject line?
