Punchy Headlines – REI

Headlines are a key part of any piece of writing. While 80% of readers will read your headlines, only 20% will read the rest of the article. An effective headline starts with an attention grabber and follows through with information relevant to the intended audience. These examples from REI’s blog do both.
