Subject Line: Start Now: 1,000 Items On Sale at DWR
Date: Friday, April 7, 2006

I'm not sure what "Start Now" means exactly ("Shop Now" would have been clearer), but "1,000 Items on Sale" makes for an extremely effective Subject Line. From what I've been seeing lately, if you're promoting any less than 100 sale items, don't bother listing the number. Numbers like 500 and now (wow!) 1,000 will definitely drive huge open and clickthrough rates. (Just make sure you have the product to back up the number.)
