The Retail Email blog did a great job with its Subject Line Hall of Fame 2009.
It found that the most significant subject line trend of 2009 was the use of discount codes. Rather than forcing subscribers to open an email to take advantage of a discount code, retailers decided to experiment with putting the full call-to-action in the subject line. This tactic puts business metrics ahead of email metrics and changes the game on email reporting since a subscriber can convert without even opening the email.
