It’s a rare, low-effort hack that could give you a serious edge before Apple inevitably shuts the door.ㅤBest Moments:(00:35) Nearly half of all email is read in Apple’s Mail app(01:17) Apple pushing “priority” emails straight to lock screens(02:30) Priority placement boosting open rates by 28%(03:17) Subject line hack with “Access approved”(04:17) Words like confirmation, activated, update, renewal trigger Apple’s AI(06:00) Why this low-cost tweak is worth A/B testing nowㅤCheck out our 100% FREE + VIRTUAL EVENTS! ->Guru Conference - The World's Largest Virtual EMAIL MARKETING Conference - Nov 6-7!Register here: www.GuruConference.comㅤCheck out Jay’s YOUTUBE Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@schwedelsonCheck out Jay’s TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@schwedelsonCheck Out Jay's INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/jayschwedelson/ㅤMASSIVE thank you to our Sponsor, Marigold!!Email chaos across campuses, branches, or chapters?
