Growth Hacks

#1. Simple copy increases email response rates 📧

It might be tempting to jazz up your email copy with a lot of technical, complicated language, but this is an urge you should definitely resist.

Why?

Because research suggests that email content with a 3rd-grade reading level gets better response rates.

So be sure that your audience doesn’t have to be smarter than a fifth grader to get through your email.
