Automatically Fill in Email Subject
When someone clicks an email link on your website is the email subject line automatically filled in for them or is it left up to the person to fill it in? How many important emails have you missed because the email subject line was blank?
Standard email link coding looks like this:
<a href="mailto:emailname@yourdomain.com">The
text of your link</a>
When a visitor clicks this link the email subject will be blank unless they fil it in.
There is a way to fix this by adjusting your email link to include a subject.
<a href="mailto:emailname@yourdomain.com?subject=Subject
You Selected">The text of your link</a>
Now when the email link is clicked the email subject is automatically inserted.
For each email link on your site insert a subject. E.g. For a information enquiry you might use
?subject=Mysite - Information Enquiry
Not only have you inserted the appropriate email subject you can now use rules in your email program to sort the emails into folders based on subject.
