To know which Subject Line works best, Internet Marketers track their email open rate.

3. Check your sender information.

Before you send an email you always have to review it, and ask yourself these three questions: What information appears on the sender line of my email?  Will my prospects recognize it?  Do they want to hear from me?  Often times, emails are deleted without ever being opened due to an indiscernible sender name.  Your sender name must be brief and easily understood.
