Preheader is a short text that follows the Subject line of your emails and that can make all the difference between an opened email or a deleted/archived email. Generally, this line of text is taken from the first text found in the email campaign, but you can set your own text, which should be catchy and meaningful. It has to intrigue your readers and make them want to know what is inside the email received.
