Subject lines are tiny but mighty details in your SaaS email marketing strategy. After all, they play gatekeeper to everything inside the email.

That’s why it sucks when you’re stuck on writing a subject line. I mean it’s just a few words — why is it so hard! You want it to be intriguing so the person wants to click, but you also avoid clickbait. We all need a little inspiration sometimes, and I’m here to fill the subject line void.

Below I’ve compiled a list of 65+ SaaS subject lines that have made their way to my inbox. To make it easier to find the inspiration you need, I’ve even grouped them by email type. BTW, you should let me know what subject lines have stood out to you lately. I’m that weirdo that collects emails.

Anyway, I hope this list of subject line ideas can help get your creative juices flowing again. Happy writing!
