I guess it depends on your audience. I'm no psychologist, but I imagine it may get some percentage point of attention more when someone sees their name in the subject line, which could increase open rates on your emails. Not sure the numbers on that, but I suspect that it is the case. Something you may want to test out for yourself, fortunately it's pretty easy to do.</p> <p>I agree that I think most people these days realize any personalized email that's coming to them is not being handwritten, but is a form letter blasted out to thousands of people at a time. So you're not fooling anyone, but that isn't the intent. (I'm assuming. ;) As long as your providing usefu and valuablel information, people will want to read it. Good luck with it!</p> Good question. I guess it depends on your audience.

Thanks for the info... One question, do you think people see through the "personalized" emails? Most of my subscribers know they're opting in to a list, so they know I'm not really sending a personal email to them. So... I usually don't personalize emails to my list. I just jump straight to the point, and speak as I would speak to a friend.</p> <p>Just interested in your take... thanks again for the post!</p> Great tips.
