Watch out

Common mistakes to avoid

✕

Burying the CTA

If the reader has to hunt for the action, they won't take it. Make it obvious.

✕

Writing to everyone

"Hi all" reads like a broadcast. Write to one person.

✕

Ignoring preview text

The preview is a second subject line. Use it, don't waste it.
