EXACTLY how to get patients to read your emails

The # 1 thing that affects the success of your emails is…

                                               … your email subject line.

email subject line

If you are sending out emails to patients and prospects, you need a subject line that makes the person want to open the email.

The purpose of the subject line is to get the person to open the email. The purpose of the email content is to get the person to click over to your website. The purpose of your website is to get the person to call your practice and schedule the practice.

A captivating and relevant subject line is EXACTLY what you need to convince a reader to OPEN your email.

When a reader opens the email, your content (and call to action) stand a chance.

Otherwise, you’re toast.

I call this the ‘patient ascension ladder’ – an evolution of the patient’s relationship with your practice:

Interesting subject line > Email opened > Captivating message > Emails clicked > Website visits > Patient Engagement > Referrals, New Patients

This can also be summarized as: Interest > Attention > Action

Here are the top TEN subject lines you can use to increase your newsletter open rate.
