If you have a store on the Amazon marketplace, it's likely that you use email to solicit seller feedback and product reviews from your customers.
Maximizing open rates is an important part of your email strategy. After all, you won’t receive many ratings if your customers are ignoring your emails – or worse, marking them as spam. So how do you raise your open rate? In this post, we’ll discuss some strategies for increasing the potential of your subject lines to encourage a healthy number of opens, which lead to more feedback and reviews.
Subject lines are your one chance to get your customers to open your email. Writing a good subject line is like dressing up for a job interview; it catches people’s attention and lets them know whether you, or your email, are worth their time.
Between spam filters and the sheer volume of emails people receive every day, it’s hard to get noticed. However, it is not impossible to see great success from an email campaign. Below, we’ve outlined a few subject-line strategies to increase the chances of your emails being opened and read.

These strategies might be hugely effective for one audience, and fall completely flat with another. The best thing to do is try one or two and see if your open rates improve, worsen, or stay the same. Every audience is unique, so find what works for yours and use it to your advantage.
