The most important tip? Be clear about what the reader should expect when they open the email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Take advantage of the preheader text to entice the reader to open your email.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The preheader text is like a second subject line.
