Not only does it make your email stand out in a crowded inbox, but it also boosts your open rates. The preview text, as it\u2019s called, might not seem specifically crucial. However, it\u2019s one of the first things readers observe when they direct their attention to your emails. After all, it\u2019s what drives people to open your email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>email preheader<\/strong> is a crucial element that greets the recipient, and it has a substantial impact on the email\u2019s performance. It also affects the recipient\u2019s perception. Also known as a \u201cpreview text,\u201d it is the small line of text that appears next to the subject line in your recipient&#8217;s inbox. Your email preheader text often seems more attention-grabbing than the subject line itself. And effective preheaders are known to drive higher open rates.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More and more people spend their valuable time online these days. This indicates that their inboxes are crammed with emails. Your subscribers have to be particular about which email they open. So, you must give them a convincing reason to open your email in the preview text.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let us discuss what an email preheader is and explore ways to integrate it with your subject lines. This will help you understand how to write preheader text that boosts your open rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_83 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.truesend.com\/blog\/how-to-write-email-preheader-text\/#What_is_an_Email_Preheader_Text\" >What is an Email Preheader Text?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.truesend.com\/blog\/how-to-write-email-preheader-text\/#What_is_the_Ideal_Email_Preheader_Length\" >What is the Ideal Email Preheader Length?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.truesend.com\/blog\/how-to-write-email-preheader-text\/#What_is_the_Importance_of_the_Preheader\" >What is the Importance of the Preheader?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.truesend.com\/blog\/how-to-write-email-preheader-text\/#Why_Email_Preheaders_Influence_Email_Open_Rates\" >Why Email Preheaders Influence Email Open Rates<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.truesend.com\/blog\/how-to-write-email-preheader-text\/#How_to_Write_an_Effective_Email_Preheader_%E2%80%93_10_Best_Practices_to_Follow\" >How to Write an Effective Email Preheader \u2013 10 Best Practices to Follow<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.truesend.com\/blog\/how-to-write-email-preheader-text\/#1_Focus_on_Your_Emails_Value_Proposition\" >1.

However, it depends on which email client and inbox view the recipient is using. Also, it depends on whether the recipient checks their emails on a mobile device or a desktop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A <strong>preheader text<\/strong> swiftly summarises the email. It is also used to spark curiosity, giving the recipient a compelling, engaging reason to click. Hence, it improves the chances that the recipient will open the email. This is the reason why they are also called \u201cemail preview texts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Listed below are some of the most common use cases for preheader text:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>To give a quick summary of the email&#8217;s content<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To preview a discount or offer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To create excitement &amp; attract the recipient to open the email<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep in mind that some email clients will display only the first few lines of an email as the preheader text. As a result, it restricts the available text. This is why keeping it short is a good idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_Ideal_Email_Preheader_Length\"><\/span><strong>What is the Ideal Email Preheader Length?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"332\" src=\"https:\/\/www.truesend.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/what-is-the-ideal-email-preheader-length-1024x332.jpg\" alt=\"what-is-the-ideal-email-preheader-length\" class=\"wp-image-4787\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.truesend.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/what-is-the-ideal-email-preheader-length-1024x332.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.truesend.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/what-is-the-ideal-email-preheader-length-765x248.jpg 765w, https:\/\/www.truesend.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/what-is-the-ideal-email-preheader-length-300x97.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.truesend.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/what-is-the-ideal-email-preheader-length.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>preheader length<\/strong> of your email must be between 40 and 100 characters. This is necessary to ensure this text appears properly in desktop and mobile email clients. Because every email client displays preheaders differently, there is no perfect length for email preheader text.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mobile clients are likely to have a lower character limit for preheader text than desktop clients. If you use a longer subject line, not many characters of your preview text will be shown. So, consider those vital things as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, you can optimise your email <strong>preheader text<\/strong>. Send a test email to yourself to experiment with it. Now, check the same across the well-known email clients and on different devices: mobile and desktop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_Importance_of_the_Preheader\"><\/span><strong>What is the Importance of the Preheader?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.truesend.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/what-is-the-importance-of-the-preheader-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"what-is-the-importance-of-the-preheader\" class=\"wp-image-4788\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.truesend.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/what-is-the-importance-of-the-preheader-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.truesend.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/what-is-the-importance-of-the-preheader-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.truesend.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/what-is-the-importance-of-the-preheader-767x512.jpg 767w, https:\/\/www.truesend.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/what-is-the-importance-of-the-preheader.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The only messages people will see include the preheader and subject line.

What you mention in your email will determine whether the recipient will give you an \u201copen\u201d or simply pass you by.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nowadays, the email inbox is nothing but a wild mix of brands competing to stand out. And despite having subscribed to your monthly newsletter, your readers must sift through an innumerable number of emails daily. They decide within seconds whether your email is worth their time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Considering the make-or-break situation, you must do everything you can to remind people why they should read your email. No doubt, an <strong>email preheader<\/strong> gives you a competitive edge over others. Our research shows that more than 80% of all campaigns sent from TrueSend don\u2019t use a customised preheader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This signifies that you can grab an opportunity to set yourself apart from the competition.

These practices revolve around factors such as customisation, relevance, and the ability to experiment and enhance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To begin with, you must focus on analysing your email content to identify the most intriguing or crucial pieces. How can you wrap your email content in under 200 characters (including the subject line and email preheader)?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your preview text and subject line must make it clear to the reader exactly what to expect from your email. However, only being descriptive won\u2019t yield results. Make sure your subject line and preheader combination is captivating enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Listed below are 10 ways to write compelling preheaders:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Focus on Your Email&#8217;s Value Proposition<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All the emails you deliver must share a similar goal. Some emails sell products or promote exclusive offers. Others share content or news. So, what value are you offering to your reader?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Convey the email&#8217;s most significant advantage in your preheader. Highlight that one thing that led you to draft the email in the first place and give your readers a viable reason to open your email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Communicate to subscribers what\u2019s in the email for them. Because once you do that, they are more likely to click.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Add_a_Call_to_Action\"><\/span>2. Add a Call to Action<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As obvious as it may sound, you want people to open your email. So, it is as easy as asking them with confidence. That\u2019s why you must add a clear, effective CTA (call-to-action) to your <strong>preheader text<\/strong>. Let people know it will be beneficial for them to open your email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Try to go beyond the usual CTA. Avoid using \u201cLearn more\u201d or \u201cRead now!\u201d Instead, focus on crafting text that provides a directive and a compelling reason to open your email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Connect_Your_Subject_Line_and_Preheader\"><\/span>3. Connect Your Subject Line and Preheader<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Create an engaging and effective story by blending your subject line and email preheader. You don\u2019t need to write 2 separate lines of text for them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you know, they appear together; you can come up with exciting ways for the subject line and preheader to work in your favour. Ask a question, then give its answer, or begin a sentence in the subject line and conclude the same in the preheader.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Use_FOMO_to_Create_a_Sense_of_Urgency_or_Scarcity\"><\/span>4. Use FOMO to Create a Sense of Urgency or Scarcity<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you know what that one robust, effective technique is to drive recipients to act quickly? It\u2019s none other than FOMO (short for Fear of Missing Out). When you emphasise urgency, you create the impression that recipients will miss something crucial if they don\u2019t act immediately. It could be \u201cOnly 1 hour left for this deal\u201d or \u201cOnly 24 hours available.\u201d This motivates recipients to open your email and take the desired action right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, you can consider using scarcity by highlighting limited availability, including \u201cOnly 6 items left in stock\u201d or \u201cBest deals: don\u2019t regret it when they\u2019re gone.\u201d You must know that deadlines and numbers fortify the effect and make the message actionable. Merge this with a clear CTA and customisation to enhance the impact. Also, it will help boost your email&#8217;s open rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Customise_Your_Email_Preheader\"><\/span>5. Customise Your Email Preheader<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fact remains undeniable that email customisation boosts engagement. Readers are more likely to open your email when they come across something familiar about themselves. It could be their name, town, birthday, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can add customisation to your <strong>email preheaders<\/strong> in a similar manner, just as you do for your subject lines or email text. Using the recipient\u2019s name is the most common use of customer personalization. Consider including more information about the recipient.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Set_Yourself_Apart_with_Humour\"><\/span>6. Set Yourself Apart with Humour<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to set yourself apart from the crowded inbox, a jovial or unexpected tone captures the recipient\u2019s attention and also sparks curiosity. Moreover, it increases the likelihood that recipients will open the email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Come up with funny comments, interesting questions, astonishing twists, or wordplay. For example, \u201cOur summer sale is hot!\u201d We lack air conditioning. Humour creates a positive impression and makes people admire your brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You must ensure the humour goes well with your audience and remains appropriate to your message. Try other styles like silly shifts. This can help you see what works better for your audience. Humour can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.truesend.com\/blog\/boost-email-open-rates-15-essential-strategies-to-avoid-spam-folders\/\">boost your email open rate<\/a> and make your emails memorable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Let_the_Advantages_Speak_for_Themselves\"><\/span>7. Let the Advantages Speak for Themselves<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don\u2019t only highlight features. Instead, sell the benefits or your unique value proposition (UVP) of your email. You tell the recipients the value and perform a task so you create interest and make them want to click the email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A robust and effective <strong>email preheader<\/strong> shows how your offer can benefit the recipient by making their life better and easier. Consider using tangible advantages: \u201cSave up to 20% and get free shipping\u201d or \u201cBoost your productivity in 3 easy steps.\u201d Not only does this create interest, but it also shows what the recipient can get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Use_Numbers_and_Stats\"><\/span>8. Use Numbers and Stats<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Grab your recipient\u2019s attention instantly by using numbers and stats in your <strong>preheader text<\/strong>. They provide measurable information that builds trust and boosts credibility. For instance, \u201c5 simple steps to 40% higher revenue.\u201d When you merge a specific advantage with a great number, your message becomes compelling and appropriate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Ask_a_Question\"><\/span>9. Ask a Question<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A question piques curiosity and drives the recipient to open the email. Asking questions will work to your advantage. \u201cHow do you make the most out of your day?\u201d \u201cAre you geared up for the new, exciting look?\u201d This leads to interaction and makes your reader think. However, you must ensure that your question is short and fits the email content. Don\u2019t forget that a clever question can make a huge difference for your email opening rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Implement_Social_Proof\"><\/span>10. Implement Social Proof<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You must focus on demonstrating that others are interested in your product or service. This belief plays on the human tendency to appreciate products or services others value. Build trust with recipients through the use of satisfied clients. Consider suggesting expert products too. You might want to do this too. Use names or short customer testimonials for impact. Aside from building credibility, it increases the likelihood that your recipient will take the desired action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_TrueSend_Can_Help\"><\/span><strong>How TrueSend Can Help<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">TrueSend is a feature-packed, all-in-one <a href=\"https:\/\/www.truesend.com\/solutions\/\">email marketing solution<\/a> that takes your email campaigns to the next level.
