My Open Rate Is Horrible...........

[cheflorraine]

I don't use a mail service yet, so wouldn't be able to check on my open rate, but I'm just getting my TT newsletter ready to send out for June, and have this as my title:Summer IS coming... get ready to go OUT(side) to eat!We've had really rainy and cold weather in Alberta here lately (it snowed yesterday!!), which is why I had to write "summer IS coming..." It always comes, but sometimes we have to go through a few ups and downs before it actually arrives!Is this title ok, or is it too long?

I like the "get ready to go....". Everyone already knows summers is coming. Just my $0.02 :blushing:

Just sent out my June newsletter. So far open rate is 40% in less than 24 hours. But 0 clicks to my website. I may have a descent open rate but RARELY any orders or bookings. Just keep trying, eventually I have to get something. At least they open them and don't forget who I am.
I have tried MANY different incentives and subject lines. I know that they are not read in great detail. I had once put in the center ,NEW FREE SUMMER PRODUCT.
I was doing a drawing. Had to buy nothing, just send me an email and in the subject line write -Free Gift and I would enter them into it. Had good open rate. ONLY 1 entered in the drawing.
