Preheader Text for Cart Recovery Emails
Preheader text is visible in inbox previews before the email is opened - it is the second subject line. Used well, it adds context that lifts open rate by 8-15% on top of the subject line alone.
Subject Line and Preheader Combinations
| Subject Line | Effective Preheader | Open Rate Lift |
|---|---|---|
| Your cart is waiting | [Product] is reserved for the next 24 hours | +10-15% |
| Did something go wrong? | Your items are saved and ready when you are | +8-12% |
| 10% off expires tonight | Your offer code: [CODE] - use it before midnight | +12-18% |
| Your cart is waiting | Click to view your order - preview: [Product image alt text] | +6-10% |
Preheader Best Practices
- 40-90 characters optimal - fills the preview without truncating key information
- Never repeat the subject line verbatim - add new information
- Include the specific product name if not in the subject
- Include urgency if the subject line focused on empathy
- Add the actual offer code if email 3 includes a discount - reduces friction to redemption
Growth Suite Integration
Growth Suite Trigger Campaign templates include preheader text fields that auto-populate with product name, expiration time, and offer details. The A/B Testing Module can test preheader variants independently from subject lines to isolate the impact of each element on open rate.
