What Should I Avoid in the Subject Line of My eNewsletter?
 The subject line is a critical element of your eNewsletter. Those few words decide the fate of your email – opened, deleted or deferred. There are several sources for lists of words and phrases to avoid. Remember that your sole purpose is to convey what the email contains; anything else will dampen readership.
Some other hints for your eNewsletter's best subject line: Avoid all caps and exclamation points. Spammers are notorious for this. Besides, many recipients read all caps as impolite "shouting."
You are delivering timely and bit-sized info in your eNewsletter. Your subject line should telegraph this fact by including the date or month of the issue, words like "newsletter," or "news," and/or the frequency (monthly, bimonthly, or quarterly).
