\n<\/span>4. Craft Compelling Subject Lines<\/span><\/h2>\n\n- Keep it short and relevant<\/strong> (35\u201350 characters ideal)<\/li>\n
- Use action-oriented words<\/strong> and personalization (first name, company)<\/li>\n

Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Good: \u201cLeke, your guide to boosting conversions\u201d<\/li>\n
- Bad: \u201cBUY NOW! LIMITED TIME OFFER!!!\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
HubSpot\u2019s A\/B testing can test multiple subject lines<\/strong> for optimal performance.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

- Dynamic content can adapt based on:\n
\n- Segment<\/li>\n
- Past interactions<\/li>\n
- Interests<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Example:<\/strong><\/p>\nShow different product recommendations for users who clicked on \u201cmarketing guides\u201d vs. \u201csales templates.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n<\/span>7. Include Clear Call-to-Actions (CTAs)<\/span><\/h2>\n\n- Each email should have one primary CTA<\/strong><\/li>\n
