Most of the meetings you arrange are initiated to gain some benefit for you. So you need to be very tactful with every word in person or via email. To make sure there are no blunders we have prepared some sample subject lines for you to send after your meeting. But before that, you can find out what a subject line actually is and what it should look like when you write an email after a meeting.
What is a subject line?
A subject line is an informative way to briefly describe what the email is about. Depending on the subject line, some people may ignore an email because they think it doesn’t concern them or that the subject isn’t interesting enough. Therefore, it is important when writing an email that the subject line is intriguing enough to give information about what to expect in the body of the email.
What does the best subject line for a thank you email after a meeting look like?
• You should be polite – try to show respect and express yourself formally.
• You must be concise – your subject line should be simple and not very long. This means drawing attention to yourself with a few short words. You shouldn’t get caught up in long explanations in the subject line itself because you will lose interest very quickly and the person on the other side may miss your message.
• You need to be intriguing – this means grabbing attention so that the meeting attendee opens your email and you will get the most out of this meeting.
What to include in the subject line for thank you email after a meeting?
• Most importantly say thank you or show in some way how exciting the meeting was. Get the other person’s attention with a few words.
• Include something personal, something that doesn’t sound like you are writing it to each person – such as noting when the meeting took place – yesterday/today or noting what specific topic you discussed. The more special this person feels the more they will open the door to you and trust you more.
• No grammatical errors! We know you’ll get the hang of this part, but let us remind you anyway. Even a minor spelling or grammar mistake would look ridiculous.
