Email marketing remains a cornerstone of digital communication and customer engagement. But don’t trust us, the experts on LinkedIn agree! As strategies to ensure successful email campaigns evolve, LinkedIn offers a wealth of advice for email marketers aiming to refine their approach and achieve better results.
In this roundup, we delve into the best insights and recommendations from LinkedIn to enhance your email marketing game.
“Your from line matters more than your subject line”
The first battle in email marketing is getting your email opened. Email marketing specialist Ann Handley has long been saying that a compelling subject line is your secret weapon to a higher open rate. Even more important is your brand! In the age where AI-generated content can sound cold, creating connection and value is the email marketer’s mandate. Also, make sure you have a “friendly from” for all of your email sends to increase your open rates by up to 25%.
Test something new every time you send an email
If you need some ideas on what to try, follow Jay Schwedelson to hear his thoughts on sending times, resending your newsletter, or emojis in the subject line. A/B testing is your best friend for optimization and ensuring that you get the best results.

Personalization is no longer a novelty; it's an expectation. Marketing strategist Neil Patel advises email marketers to leverage segmentation for targeted communication.

That said, there is a limit to the ROI on personalization. Basic personalization is essential while over-personalization may not help your click rate.
