Frequently Asked Questions

The preheader (or preview text) is the snippet of text that appears after the subject line in the inbox. It's your second chance to convince subscribers to open your email.

Aim for 40-130 characters. Mobile shows about 40-75 characters, desktop shows 100-130. Front-load the most important information in the first 40 characters.

A good preheader complements (not repeats) your subject line, creates curiosity or urgency, includes a clear benefit, and avoids generic text like 'View in browser' or 'Having trouble viewing this?'

Without a custom preheader, email clients pull the first text from your email body. This often results in awkward previews like 'View in browser' or 'Unsubscribe' links appearing as preview text.
