Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a good B2B email subject line?

A strong B2B email subject line is concise (under 60 characters), personalized, focused on value, creates curiosity, and speaks directly to the recipient's pain points or goals. It should avoid spam triggers while using power words and specificity to stand out in crowded inboxes.

How long should B2B email subject lines be?

Aim for 40-60 characters or 6-10 words. Most mobile email clients display only 30-40 characters, so put the most important information first. Our generator optimizes for mobile viewing while maintaining impact.

Should I use personalization in subject lines?

Yes! Emails with personalized subject lines (using {FirstName}, {Company}, or role-specific references) consistently perform better in B2B campaigns. However, ensure personalization is accurate, incorrect personalization is worse than none.

What subject line formats work best for cold emails?

For cold B2B emails, use curiosity-driven approaches, mutual connections ("Re: [Topic]"), questions, social proof ("[Company] increased ROI by X%"), or specific value propositions. Avoid salesy language and focus on relevance to the recipient.

How do I test email subject lines?

Use A/B testing with your email platform, testing different angles (question vs. statement, urgency vs. curiosity, benefit-focused vs. problem-focused). Track open rates, click rates, and reply rates. Our generator provides multiple variations for testing.

What words should I avoid in B2B email subject lines?

Avoid spam triggers like "free," "guarantee," "click here," "buy now," excessive punctuation (!!!), all caps, and overly promotional language. Also avoid misleading subject lines that don't match email content, as this damages trust and deliverability.
