Listen Later

Today’s Guest

In this episode you will learn about a 4-month-long research project on email copywriting.

Brandon Olson works at Aweber.

This is the 129th session of Smart Brand Marketing.

MY BIGGEST TAKEAWAY:

80/20 of findings:

430 words in email copy

longer emails > provide value
shorter emails > drive traffic

43-44 characters in subject line shorter get higher open rates (around 15 characters)

7% of experts use emojis perceived as risk since not all email clients support them

Most capitalize only the first letter of the subject line 6% use only lower case but say they get more opens
