The rest of the bunch
Average Score: Trending Up
The Average CTR overall in February was 20.5%, up from 17.86% in January.
Length: Trending Up
In December and January, the largest group of subject lines were 31 to 40 characters. In February, 41 to 50 characters was the most common. A second layer of analysis this change was driven by a higher word count, rather than the average length of the words used. In February 89% of the words used were 10 characters long or fewer, up from 83% the previous month.

Emojis: Trending Down
3 subject lines containing emojis is the joint lowest count since we started this analysis.
Sender Name: Trending Up
The handful of subject lines which did include the sender’s name were dominated by the “functional” category. This is how we label resource downloads, opt-in messages and other similar content.
