Keywords are important and might help you get to the top, but content is nothing if not engaging.


Spending too much time trying to optimize your content for search takes away from the time you could be (not) spending keeping it lean.

James A Smith MCIM's insight:

I still see the need for an strategy that incorporates both outbound and inbound marketing. I think events are still valid in the mix, but data capture is key and associated metrics. Those captured contacts from events can then segment themselves through the content they down load as a result of marketing automation, and can become channels of communication for social media releases. This increased universe will help drive the inbound portion of your strategy.

Is Your Email Subject Line Creative... or Deceptive? - Profs

Is Your Email Subject Line Creative... or Deceptive? - Profs | Inbound marketing, social and SEO | Scoop.it

Digest...

 

However, you do have a few ways of ensuring that your subject lines fall closer to the creative side of the spectrum:

1. If the subject line is aligned with the contents of the email, it's probably closer to creative than deceptive.

2. If the subject line has you thinking (or shouting!), "I can't wait to open this email," it's probably closer to creative than deceptive.

3. If the subject line has you thinking one thing, yet when you open the email you are disappointed... it's probably closer to deceptive than creative.

Bottom-line: don't be cheesy. If you've got to resort to cheesy, it's time to understand what works in the world of B2B subject lines. There are plenty of articles on excellent subject lines in The Marketing Automation Alert: just search the tag "email marketing."
