Email Marketing
What makes a good subject line?
Subject lines are an important part of your email, so here's how to not mess them up.

As #emailgeeks we categorically understand the importance of this time of year. The last thing anyone wants is for any technical issues or shutdowns.
Whilst Taxi doesn't actually send email, we recognise that many of our customers are busy planning campaigns this week.
We are here to help, and so we've put extra resources in place to help your Black Friday hopefully go trouble-free.
There are a few things you can do to make sure your campaigns run smoothly.
When you're firing out your vital Black Friday emails with the ferocity and speed of Rambo with a particularly vengeful grudge, you want to know that the technology you are using can take the strain. Taxi is built for just such an occasion.
For example in November 2018 our Content Delivery Network (CDN - where images are hosted), in Europe alone, served up over 1,440,000,000 images at a bandwidth of 153,320,239 GB. That's a lot of image data coming from a lot of emails. Whilst it's nice to see such impressive numbers, the message behind them is that Taxi is built to scale up when you need it most.
We usually continually push updates to Taxi, but we have frozen these (including rolling out our new user interface) to minimize as many technical delays as possible. Another upshot of this is that our support and technical teams are on hand to help you with any potential issues, and that emergency bug fixes can be sent out a lot faster.
We have discussed any potential issues with our partners and suppliers, and will be in close contact during the period. We don't envisage any issues with email platform APIs, but if there are, manual exports are available as always.
We are also continuously testing our connectors with Email Service Providers to make sure you can not only build the best emails with ease, but send them too (that's kind of important).
Our engineers are closely monitoring Taxi, ensuring it scales up as required. We have previously tested and experienced heavy loads on the Taxi editor, and have mitigated against issues here.
Whilst we do not expect any issues, our system status will be kept up to date at http://status.taxiforemail.com, and also our status Twitter account at http://twitter.com/taxistatus.
So no one told you Black Friday was going to be this way (clap clap clap clap). Don't worry, we'll be there for you| start a chat using the live chat or email us at support@taxiforemail.com for friendly support. Could this reference be any more fun?
Taxi helps marketing teams make better quality email, quicker, at a larger scale.
