How to deal with Unengaged Subscribers and Lists

How do you stand out in the inbox? We have been chatting about this on our socials, because it is such a commonly asked and extremely valid question. We love it when passionate business owners reach out with their questions. It feels good to know people are just as excited about email marketing as we are, and eager to learn and improve.

So, we are here to offer some pointers for catching your customers' eyes. In a sea of heavily discounted products and poor-quality content, the best way to shine is to show your customers that you know them, and let them get to know you too.

Sarah, picked these with you in mind

A friendly name and a personal subject line stand out against the shouting.

Six Ways to Shine

👋
A friendly 'from' name
A real person feels approachable. It makes customers comfortable calling on you for help.
e.g. "Anna from Email by Design"
✍️
Names in subject lines
Use your customer's name instead of gimmicky oversell. It feels personal, not pushy.
🚫
No clickbait or over-promises
Provide real value relevant to your audience. It lifts engagement and builds a deeper connection, so they keep coming back.
🎯
Personalisation
Not just in subject lines, but within the message itself, and in your featured products too.
🎬
Videos and GIFs
Movement adds creative, exciting visual appeal that static emails cannot match.
⏰
Test your send times
See when your subscribers actually check their inboxes, then target future sends for the best response.
The best way to shine is to show your customers you know them, and let them get to know you too.
