Do This, NOT That: Marketing Tips with Jay Schwedelson
Ask Us ANYTHING: Subject Line Trick Nobody Knows! | Ep. 462
12 Dec 2025
Subject lines that tap into who your audience wants to be, a bathroom emergency at a Nashville hot chicken spot, and a minus-200 degree cryotherapy experiment all show up in this Ask Us Anything with Jay Schwedelson. Jay riffs on a listener's challenge to share a subject line test they probably have not tried yet, breaking down the idea of aspirational personalization that speaks a level above your current audience. Then he answers a not-so-serious question about his health that turns into a ridiculous story involving Boca Raton, Brass Monkey, and a frosty recovery chamber.ㅤBest Moments:(00:16) Jay explains the Ask Us Anything format and how to send him your own work and ridiculous questions through his site.(01:15) Hattie B's "shut the cluck up" hot chicken story ends with a bathroom line so long he swears they need 74 restrooms.(02:15) Jamie's challenge for a subject line test they have never tried sets Jay up to go beyond basic personalization.(03:38) Jay introduces aspirational subject lines that speak to the C level or lifestyle people want instead of the role they have now.(05:30) He shares data from 50 million sends showing aspirational subject lines lifting open rates by roughly 24-28 percent in both B2B and consumer campaigns.(06:30) Bill's jab about Jay's health leads to a cryotherapy adventure in Boca Raton, complete with Brass Monkey and dancing in a minus-200 degree box.ㅤCheck out Jay’s YOUTUBE Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@schwedelsonCheck out Jay’s TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@schwedelsonCheck Out Jay's INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/jayschwedelson/
