How to use Dynamic Email subject lines for your Feedburner Emails

by ZK on July 3, 2009

Email Subject Line Feedburner

Personalisation has played an important role in marketing communication, marketers are willing to spend millions of dollars to ensure personalisation of their communication message. Google seems to have realised this for their feedburner services a bit late. Better late than never, now you can personalise your email subject line in feedburner emails, you can use the text ${latestItemTitle} to make the subject line of your emails reflect the title of your latest post.

You also have the option to customise your email subject line if you have more than one blog post a day. Once logged in Feedburner, you can do this under “Publicize” > “Email Subscrptions” > “Email Branding.”

Until last night, if readers subscribed to your blog via Feedburner email service, your email subject lines would be static, containing either the name of your blog or some other text that you would specify.

For this web marketing blog we had the subject line : WebTrafficROI’s Latest Post , which for obvious reasons was not very compelling to readers who subscribed as they would not know what the email was all about unless they opened it.

The good news is that you now have an option to change it to reflect your latest blog post title. Its very simple all you need to do is log in to your Feedburner account and use the text ${latestItemTitle} in the subject line, you can do this under “Publicize” > “Email Subscrptions” > “Email Branding.”

I appreciate being able to customize my e-mail subject line if I have more than one blog post per day to show the title of my latest post, so much more convenient.

I’ve just edited my feedburner email branding, it looks cool. I always wait for Google to update their Feedburner’s features. With this way, we might be able to get more subscribers to read on our post in email due to the email title is eye catching.

Anyway, I’m happy to see this updated. :D

Is there a possibility to get a user name so that you can completely personalize the mail (like “hi user-name, read latest post: post-title”) or something along these lines.

Personalizing the subject line/ email branding for your customers is actually a good idea. This is because the customers feel that you are reaching out and talking directly to them; thus feeling more ‘personal’ with your product/ service. Another cool feature from Google.
