Why Should You Customize Email Subject Lines For Spring?

As said, email subject lines can help your email stand apart in the sea of emails in your recipient’s inbox. HubSpot shows that 64% of recipients judge an email based on their subject lines and decide whether to open or delete it. On the other hand, 33% of people open their emails because the subject lines catch their attention. 

Emails are a great medium for spreading the spring cheer for your business. Customers are already in a good mood due to warmer weather and longer days. This can be a great time to take advantage of convincing them to make a purchasing decision in your favor. 

As you use the spirit of spring to launch a series of fresh email marketing campaigns, remember that email subject lines will be an important element in building excitement. Connect with your customers by using creativity and infusing fun with a play on fresh spring themes of celebration, rejuvenation, and growth. 

You may even list spring holidays as we do below and take the opportunity to touch base with your customers.

Writing Spring Email Subject Lines: Best Practices

Spring marks a fresh start for many, and you’ve also got various themes for your spring email campaigns. To win great open rates, tickle your reader’s brain with interesting subject lines. 

Incorporate the following components to write great subject lines on the go.

Keep it relevant

Before any tips to make your spring email subject lines interesting, let us address the most important thing – relevance. 

If you want your subscribers to be interested in your emails after reading your subject line, it should talk about what matters to them — or what is relevant to them. What are some spring-relevant things to talk about?

• Spring cleaning
• Gardening
• Holiday and spring events like Memorial Day, St. Patrick’s Day, April Fool’s Day, Mother’s Day, and more

Want some subject line examples to showcase relevance?

• Spring Cleaning Complete Checklist ✅🌼
• Memorial Day Sale for the Long Weekend 
• Best Spring Deals In the Past 5 Years! No, It’s Not April Fool’s Joke 🙅
• Trendiest Spring Collection For Sweatfree Gardening

Ask a Question

The easiest way of making recipients curious about something is by asking a question. Even when someone knows the answer to the question in the email subject line, they’ll open it to confirm the doubts. But make sure you do the following:

• Ask relevant questions related to the subject of your spring email campaign
• Don’t use a generic question (it won’t spark any curiosity)
• Avoid clickbait questions

Want some inspiration? Here are some examples:

• Hey, Join Us For The Spring Fling? 
• Wait, Did Someone Say Memorial Day Sale? 
• Is Today Your Lucky Day? Yes, It Is With Our St. Patrick’s Day Sale!
• What Are You Gifting Your Mom This Mother’s Day?

Build interest

Curiosity doesn’t just kill the cat; it also gets your spring email opened. 😂 

But how do you get your recipient curious? Sprinkle just the right information to get them to open the email and learn more. 

Make sure you don’t reveal too much, either!

Here are some great interest-building subject line examples:

• Don’t Open! – You Will End Up Purchasing Spring Arrivals! 💐
• Knock Knock! A St. Patrick’s Day Surprise At Your Inbox! 
• Easter Egg Hunt: Spot Your Discounts! 🐰

Use Spring emojis

We all love those jolly emojis. They add a little spice to the conversation and convey a fun spirit. Why not use them in your seasonal subject lines, too?

Spring emojis can add visual interest to your subject line, capturing your audience’s attention in their otherwise full inbox. They can also pep up a boring text-heavy subject line. 

So many cool emojis can convey your spring season’s joy to your reader! 

• All the beautiful flower emojis can convey the spring fling 🌸🌷🌺🌼 
• Use the sun emojis to spread the warmer weather of this spring fever ☀️🌞
• Running an easter sale? There are easter theme emojis, too 🐣🐰🐥
• Share the Earth Day spirit with springing greens 🌳🌲🌿
• How can we not use rainbows for color and joy 🌈
• You can also use the rainy emojis to talk about the April showers 🌦️

Let’s look at some subject line examples with spring emojis:

• Every Day is International Women’s Day With Our Spring Collection 🌸
• Get Ready For The Spring Break With Spring Savings 🌞🌈
• Our Exclusive Easter Sale Is Here For 24 Hours Only! 🐣
• Memorial Day Weekend: Honoring Our Heroes This Spring 💂🌞

Give some numbers

Research shows that email subject lines with numbers have a 53.2% open rate, whereas those without numbers have 51.9%. We all know how stats and numbers grab instant attention. Didn’t the above numbers get you interested too? Then why not use the trick in your spring email subject lines? 

Take a look at these examples that can boost open rates: 

• 5 Spring Cleaning Projects To Tackle in 2024
• Easter Sale: Our Exclusive Deals Will Save You $100 😯
• 10 Spring Exclusives Your Wardrobe Needs Right Now! 🎉
• Raise Awareness This Earth Day With These 10 Eco-friendly Publications

Include symbols and punctuation

All email marketing campaigns incorporate punctuation such as periods, question marks, and exclamation marks. Though punctuation may enhance your ability to convey your message, it should be used cautiously and only when logically necessary. 

Based on Mailchimp’s study, we shouldn’t use more than three punctuation marks in a subject line. Using several unique characters like $, %, or & in a single subject line might make it seem spam.

Here are some spring subject line examples with a good use of symbols and punctuation:

• Spring Deal So Good, You Wouldn’t Want To Miss It!
• Looking For A Special Gift This Mother’s Day? We Got You! 🎁
• Ready to Save Some $ This Spring Break? 🤑
• Spring Is Here. Open Up! 🌸

Personalize for your reader

You’ll get 72% of your customers to engage with your email if you personalize them for their interests. Email personalization doesn’t have to be difficult; it can be as simple as using your subscriber’s name or addressing their interests. For example, mention their last previous order, a specific category they’ve been browsing, etc. 

Want some examples? Here you go:

• Susan, We Saw You Checking Out Our Spring Collection
• Hi Susan, Ready For Spring Cleaning
• Visiting Miami This Spring Break? Book The Cheap Tickets Now!

That’s it! These are all the elements that can make your spring email subject lines interesting for the reader. Now, let’s understand how to analyze the results of your spring email subject lines. 

How To Tell If Your Spring Email Subject Lines Are Working?

You don’t have to take what we give. You should track your results and see if your spring email subject lines work.

Although open rates are helpful, they aren’t the only indicator of your subject lines’ effectiveness. Focus on deep analytics, whether you’re evaluating the email subject lines or other email marketing components.

Check out the table below to get a better idea of which indicators are most helpful for assessing the health of your spring email campaigns, subscribers, and content.

Level of Impact	For the email	For the business
Customer-level	Optimization for subscription Lifetime value Email inactivity Subscriber’s recency, frequency, monetary (RFM)	Success for business Customer lifetime value Customer’s inactivity Customer’s recency, frequency, monetary (RFM)

Tips to Improve Your Email Open Rates

If your spring email subject lines are working and showing great results, congratulations! But you must take on the path of continuous improvement. Think of what can be done better for more amazing results. If they aren’t working as well as you’d want them to, think of where to improve. Make sure you’re doing the following.

Try different tools

There are many tools, such as subject line testers, available on the web to create attention-grabbing subject lines for your email campaigns. Many of these tools are easy and free to use. You can even check out these 300+ email subject lines for any occasion.

Carry out split testing

Try using a few alternative subject lines for each email you write and see which ones perform better. You may improve your odds of employing an engaging subject line by doing split testing, often known as A/B testing. Let’s discuss it in detail below.

A/B Testing Your Spring Email Subject Lines

If you want results this spring season, then you need A/B testing!

Use A/B testing for spring email subject lines or the content of your spring email campaigns to determine which alternatives of your spring email are most well-received. How? Follow the steps below:

1. Divide your subscriber list into two groups and email each with a different subject line. Here are two subject line ideas you may use as variants:
   1. Celebrate Spring With 30% Off Before Midnight
   2. New Collection On Sale To Start The New Season
2. Experiment with different send times to see when your target demographic is most responsive. Which day gets the most open on those spring emails, a “Midweek Treat” or a “Friday Feeling”?
3. Third, look at the stats to see which email subject line better tells your audience what spring is all about.

By deliberately comparing two versions of the subject line and other email body content, you may achieve previously unseen levels of engagement with your spring email campaigns.

A/B Testing with EngageBay

EngageBay, a comprehensive sales and marketing CRM, offers inbuilt split testing options. With EngageBay’s A/B testing feature, you may create different versions of the spring email subject line and choose the one with the best open rate. You can also use EngageBay to evaluate your email’s body text, visuals, and other elements for a more engaged audience and more clicks. 

By improving the user experience, EngageBay increases conversions, decreases bounce rates, and increases open rates. 

• Only one element at a time: If you want to keep the test tidy, change just one variable at a time. By doing so, you may identify the specific factors that motivate those clicks, whether it’s the allure of spring dresses or the promise of amazing prices.
• The larger the sample size, the better: Make sure you have big enough test groups to note trends. With this level of detail, you may promote spring arrivals or spring sales for specific holidays.
• Go for the other elements, too: Make sure to modify other parts of your spring email campaign, even if the subject line is your main act. Every little thing, like the promise of the best spring break or the thrill of receiving a “summer fever” email, has the potential to increase engagement.
• Implement & optimize: Apply what you’ve learned after studying the data, whether “Memorial Day Savings” had more open rates than “Memorial Day Sale” or something else entirely. 

Some Ideas For Your Spring Email Marketing Campaigns 

Before we end this, we want to give you some ideas for the next campaign with examples. Take a look.

Launch your spring events discounts

The best way to get in the spirit of spring is to curate special discounts for spring events. Emails with seasonal CTAs can boost your spring email campaigns’ impressions and give shoppers a good reason to engage. Here’s an example from Zales with an Easter Sale offering a tiered discount. 

Spring email subject line: “🐇 Open for Easter Bunny Treats.”

This Easter email template Zales used works really well because the X dollar-off discounts promote the sales of high-priced items.

Create urgency

If you don’t have impressive numbers to offer like Zales above, don’t worry. You still can elicit action by creating FOMO. Look at this J.Crew spring email campaign. 

In addition to the beautiful spring-themed template, the visual-heavy “30% off” makes the announcement as loud as it can get. The marketing team has strategically included “Ends Tonight” as the first sentence at the top. Why? Because it creates a sense of urgency, priming viewers to visit the store immediately. 

Celebrate spring with a giveaway 

Setting up a giveaway can be a great idea if you need more brand engagement this spring season! Look at this example of the classic giveaway from Coral & Tusk. 

Spring email subject line: “Fresh for Spring Giveaway !🌷”

We love how they’ve got clean imagery that paints the picture of spring. We also love how they’ve grabbed the seasonal opportunity with the display of their spring-themed products in the recommendations below.

Use Spring visuals

Don’t want to discount the products, then don’t! That’s not the only way to rock a spring campaign. Get into the spring fever by tingling the reader’s visual interest like MAC Cosmetics here. 

Spring email subject line: “Spring for it. Revamped shadows, new shades!”

This email keeps the recipient’s eyes glued to it with a super spring-friendly design and play of words. They smartly leveraged product photography to display their bright eyeshadow colors, promoting seasonally relevant items in the email. 

Create a gift guide

Want to interest readers in your email newsletter content more? Share valuable content with a gift guide on Mother’s Day, just like Kate Spade.

We love that Kate Spade did not go with a simple discount and took the untraditional route of using content in their favor. To top it off, they cleverly added a complimentary gift to push a full-priced purchase. This is another good way to push sales when you don’t want to discount your products.

Some Last-Minute Tips For Your Email Marketing Campaigns …

Tip 1—Use attention-grabbing words

Certain words tend to get more attention than others. For example, using the words “introducing,” “invitation,” “you,” “update,” “news,” “sale,” etc. could pique readers’ interest. Research also shows that using these words could boost your open rate.

Tip 2—Ask to take action

 Motivate your clients to take the desired action right from the start in your email subject lines. Use action verbs mindfully and create urgency. For example, “Get Your 20% On Our Spring Sale Before The Deal Ends Tonight.” This technique will surely work with product launches, special promotions, and events. 

Tip 3—Offer valuable content

Many businesses only email their customers and clients about sales. However, you can also stay in touch by providing them with helpful content like industry insights or product use instructions. Create content to educate, amuse, and entertain your target audience.

Tip 4—Hit closer to home

People pay more attention when they see the same locality mentioned in the email or the subject line.

Meet your consumers where they are with localized content. You can simply mention their geographic location or hometown in the subject line or tell them you’re in their city. For example, “We Made It To Dallas! Are You Visiting Us?”

The best way to do this is with audience segmentation by geographic location or zip code.

Conclusion
