5 Tips To Increase Your Email Open Rate

1. Fewer images in the newsletter – try to use less than 2 images in your newsletter. This will help clear the spam triggers preventing your emails being ended up in spam/junk folder, ultimately your email open rate will go up.
2. Double opt-in – this will help you to collect genuine emails and will clear out fake or spam subscribers. So, you are collecting the emails who have a genuinely interested in you and in things you have to say.
3. Take advantage of the thank you page – use thank you page for guiding your subscribers to confirm their subscription and to notify them of the requirement to confirm the subscription to avoid remaining in the unconfirmed list which will prevent them from getting any emails from you. 
4. Use curiosity based subject lines – use curiosity based subject lines but also make it related to the topics. This will develop the curiosity amongst your subscribers to open and read the emails which will ultimately increase your open rate.   don’t use FREE of $$
5. Remove inactive subscribers – flush out inactive subscribers every 3 months. Some people prefer to review their subscribers list every 1 year but I recommend 3 months. Inactive subscribers just lower your deliverability rate. It is advisable to remove them completely or put them into a separate email service provider.
