Subject lines + cadence
Subject options and recommended send order.
Use these subject/preheader combinations with the matching creative IDs. For most broad campaigns, start educational, then move into core benefits and social proof.
Recommended cadence
Broad campaign sequence
- 06 — How it works
- 01 — Speed
- 02 — As-is
- 09 — Testimonials
- 05 — No commissions
- 10 — Cash vs. traditional
Segment-specific additions
Use 03 for inherited-home audiences, 08 for landlord/rental audiences, 04 as a broad life-transition backstop, and 07 only where the audience context supports a payment-stress message.
Spacing
Space follow-up sends 3–5 days apart. Suppress unsubscribes, recent converters, and anyone already routed into a follow-up workflow.
Testing
Test one variable at a time: subject line, from-name, or creative. Use click and conversion data as the main signal; open-rate data can be noisy.
Subject line library
Each row includes three subject options and the suggested inbox preview line.
