Man with Blog Loses Ear in Monkey Hammer Fight
The spam filter at my “place of work” went down last Friday resulting in a deluge of spam mail dropping into my inbox unmolested. I think being a spam copywriter might be something to aspire to. It’s a simple fun formula: create a headline with 10 words or less, formed purely to grab attention from a cluttered inbox. Sprinkle in a celebrity name, lost appendage, current event/rumor, maybe a misspelling and viola - click-through gold! I could see this concept getting worked into a party game.
Below are few of the more creative subject lines (I would love to see the open rate)…
- Woman Loses Foot in Shock Attack (That’s right, it’s “Shock Attack”)
- Woman loses nose after dog attack
- Man loses eye in fight
- Horse kicks Harrison Ford in stomach
- Larry King shot dead at home
- Release Of The Nancy Pelosi Sex Dvd Causes Mass Erectile
- The Beatles - Back Together Again
