Royalty is a birthright in monarchies, but the opposite holds true in email.

Inbox royalty is achieved via trust that's earned. And yes, we still might not open that email from King Charles.

But wait! You might think that generating email opens is simple, and go your merry way to a session about AI. Hear us out.

Ashley and Dennis will make you think differently. They'll detail a five-step process for building trust in your "email brand" that has you doing things you otherwise wouldn't have considered.

That includes:

- Mentioning your direct competitors
- NOT mentioning your brand or products
- NOT including links (in order to gain clicks down the road)
- Giving away tips and secrets without expecting anything in return (yes, ungated!)

They'll also show you why the most important element to optimize is your From line, not your Subject line.

Attend this talk and you'll ascend the throne at the Buckingham Palace of Email.

Takeaway

1) Be the brand whose emails subscribers anticipate, rather than delete
2) Be reminded that all ROI from email begins from the same spot: the open
3) Learn why trust is more important than ever for your email program
4) Understand why you must think differently in order to gain trust
5) Return to the office ready to make strategic improvements to your email program
