Email copy is consists of two things. One is the subject line and the second is the email body text. To write a great email you need to play with these two things only. Here we are just talking about email and not about email marketing.

Every business is different, the same time may not work for everyone based on niche. So I recommend you to follow this standard data and at the same time analyze your business data and see what works best for you.

Now let’s get started with the best email copywriting tips.

How to write cold emails that convert at Digital People

In 2 steps, I will help you write an amazing email copy that you can send and get great open rates and conversions for your business objectives.

1) Subject Line (Attention-Grabber, Short & Sweet, For Prospect). Examples Included.
2) Email Body Text (Structure, Write For Your Prospect, Call To Action). Examples Included.

Now let’s break down these two easy steps to craft a perfect cold email down.

1) Write Noticeable Subject Line


The subject line is your ticket to open rate.


You can write an eye-catching subject line by knowing your customers, their pain areas, and the solution you offer.


Write sweet and short subject lines. Subject lines with 6 to 10 words are 21% likely to be opened, but 21 - 25 worded subject lines are only 9% likely to be opened. So make sure you write a short and human-friendly subject line for better open rates.


Here are 5 great subject line examples you can use in your email campaign:


Introductory For Product Launch:


“[Customer name], meet your new [product Name]”

“Hi [Customer name], Check our new product [product Name]”


Subject Line For Urgency: 


“Hurry up, [product] sale ends in [#] hours”

"[Product] sale: Open this right now"


Subject Line For Case Study:


"Case Study: [Company] campaign makes $10k in 36 hours"

"[Result Of Case Study]. Check Case Study Now"


Subject Line For Outbound Marketing:


"25% Off on [Domain Name], Just For You!"

"Have You Tried 301 Redirection For Your Domain?"


Funny email subject line examples:


"Please Touch Me! Content Delight via Multitouch"

"Do Gamers Dream of HTML5 Sheep?"

2) Email Body - Keep their attention immediately


Once they’ve opened your email, you win the open rate. Now you need to engage them in and come good on any promises you made in the subject line. 


Don't beat around the bush, Get to the point quickly so that they can take the necessary action which leads to conversion for you.
