How to Write Cold Email Subject Lines That Get Opened

Your cold email subject line is the gatekeeper to your entire message. With average open rates hovering around 15-25% for cold outreach, a compelling subject line can mean the difference between your email being read or deleted.

Subject Line Best Practices

  • Keep it short: Under 50 characters performs best, with 28-39 characters being the sweet spot for mobile devices.
  • Personalize when possible: Subject lines with the recipient's name or company see 26% higher open rates.
  • Create curiosity: Open loops that make the reader want to know more without being clickbait.
  • Avoid spam triggers: Words like "free," "act now," or excessive punctuation can land you in spam.
  • Test lowercase: All-lowercase subject lines often feel more personal and less promotional.
