			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p id="ops"><small>Originally posted. October 7, 2010</small></p><p>Many companies have been very frequently running email campaigns for their clients in very frequent intervals, in this interval what I&#8217;ve seen variations in click through ranging from lower to higher, what about yourself!?!</p>
<p>Some of this is due to the offers, products, or the manifestation of the website, but the bottom line is it was down to the message that is sent.</p>
<p>So how can you capitalize the chances of getting respectable reaction from your ever first email campaign?</p>
<p>Follow some thumb rules and your email campaign should be successful right from the beginning.</p>
<p><strong>1#</strong> Identify what you want before you start sending mails in bulks, think about what you want to achieve from it. Whether it is only is only for awareness in the market for your product or service? Want to create a BUZZ in the web for your presence? Want to drag more visitors to your website? More signups to your newsletter? Something entirely different either? Whatever the aim, keep it in mind while you sit down and write your email.</p>
<p><strong>2#</strong> Design It appropriate &amp; Spell It Write!! There&#8217;s nothing worse than receiving a marketing email with poor design, spelling mistakes and grammar. If you can&#8217;t spell and your email doesn&#8217;t jingle right, you cannot expect good ratio of conversion from email (news letter.</p>
<p><span id="more-209"></span></p>
<p><strong>3#</strong> Not Should Be Too Long &#8211; you have very little time to grab people&#8217;s attention, people are running very short with time in these days and in hardlay 2 minutes they will move away from you if the text is so long and boaring, keep paragraphs short and. Stick to simple words, short phrases and paragraphs consisting of just 1-3 short sentences.</p>
<p><strong>4#</strong> Don&#8217;t shout! Using all CAPITALS is difficult to read and looks as if you are shouting. Don&#8217;t do it!</p>
<p>Occasional use of capital letters to emphasise a word is ok, but be aware that some spam filters delete email messages with words all in capitals.</p>
<p><strong>5#</strong> Call To Action The first two sentences of your email should identify a possible problem the recipient may have, tell them who you are, and what you want them to present in front of himself with this email.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p id="ops"><small>Originally posted. October 10, 2009</small></p><p>When it comes to your business e-mail communications, you need to make an impression that can lend to the determination that you are someone that will be a pleasure to do business with.</p>
<p>For your consideration below are the &#8220;Top 10 e-mail issues targeted at business men and women.  These are the issues business owners and their employees minimally need to be aware of in their day-to-day online communications.<span id="more-24"></span></p>
<p>1. SUBJECT: Field: The SUBJECT: field is the window into your e-mail and can many times determine even if your e-mail will be opened.  If this is your first contact with a customer based on their request through your site or otherwise, be sure to have a short SUBJECT: that indicates clearly what the topic of the e-mail is.  Never be misleading in this regard! Typos, all caps or all small case can give the impression you are a spammer.</p>
<p>2. Level of Formality: Never assume a position of informality in your business e-mail.  Only time and relationship building efforts can guide when you can informalize your business relationships. And, in some cases that time may never arise.  Do not assume that e-mail is impersonal or informal when it comes to your business communications.  It is very personal &#8211; a window into the type of person you are and how you run your business. Remember, people do business with people not companies.  One should communicate as if your e-mail is on your company letterhead at all times.  This is your business&#8217;s image you are branding!</p>
<p>3. Addressing: How do you address your new contacts?  I would suggest initially that you assume the highest level of courtesy: Hello, Mr. Anderson, Dear Ms. Jones, Dr. Osborne, etc.  Until your new contact states, &#8220;call me Andy&#8221; or &#8220;you can call me Diane.  Keep it formal until it is clear the relationship dictates otherwise.  You will also be able to get clues by how your contacts approach you and their tone.  Most business people do not mind being called by their first name, however, in a global economy that can be perceived as taking premature liberties in the relationship if used too soon.</p>
<p>4. TO:, From:, Bcc, Cc fields can make or break you:</p>
<p>..In the TO: field make sure you have your contact&#8217;s name formally typed.  John B. Doe &#8211; not john b doe or JOHN B DOE.</p>
<p>..In the FROM: field make sure your have your full name formally typed.  Example: Jane A. Jones. Not: jane a jones or JANE A JONES. The later two give the perception of lack of education or limited experience with technology.  Always use your full name. By only including your first name or e-mail address you are giving the perception you have something to hide or do not know the basics of configuring your e-mail program.</p>
<p>..Bcc: use this field when e-mailing a group of contacts who do not personally know each other. By listing an arms length list of e-mail addresses in the CC or TO fields of contacts who do not know each other or who have never met is conducive to publishing their e-mail address to strangers. No matter how great the list of people may be to you, never make this decision for others! This is a privacy issue! With those you are forging partnerships with, visibly listing their e -mail address in with a group of strangers will make one wonder what other privacy issues you may not respect or understand. Not good.</p>
<p>..Cc: Use this field when there are a handful of associates involved in a discussion that requires all be on the same page. These business people know each other or have been introduced and have no problem having their e-mail address exposed to the parties involved.  If you are not sure if a business associate would mind their address being made public, ask!</p>
<p>5. Formatting: Refrain from using it in your business communications. Unless you would type something in bold crimson letters on business letterhead, don&#8217;t do it when e-mailing for commercial gain. Even something as simple as using a different font makes your e-mail&#8217;s display contingent upon the recipient having that specific font on their system or it defaults to their designated default font. The recipient may not have their e-mail program configured in such a way as to display your formatting the way it appears on your system &#8211; if at all.</p>
<p>6. Attachments: Do you think your relationship with a potential new customer is enhanced when you send them that 5M Power Point presentation they didn&#8217;t request and you fill up their inbox causing subsequent business correspondence to bounce as undeliverable?  Nope.  And, if they don&#8217;t have Power Point they couldn&#8217;t open the file anyway! Never assume your potential customers have the software you do to open any file you may arbitrarily send.</p>
<p>If you need to send a file over 200,000 in size, business courtesy dictates you ask the recipient first if it is O.K. to send a large file. Next, confirm they have the same software and version you do and what is the best time of day to sent it to them to ensure they are available to download the large file and keep their e-mail flowing. Do not send large attachments without warning, on weekends or after business hours when the recipient may not be there to clear out their inbox and keep their e-mail flowing.</p>
<p>7. Using Previous E-mail for New Correspondence: If you want to give the perception of lazy, find a previous e-mail from the party you want to communicate with, hit reply and start typing about something completely irrelevant to the old e-mail&#8217;s subject. Always start a new e-mail and add your contacts to your address book so you can add them to a new e-mail with one click.</p>
<p>8. Down Edit Your Replies: Don&#8217;t just hit reply and start typing. Editing is a skill those you communicate with will appreciate as it lends to reflecting a respect for their time and clarity in your communications. Removing parts of the previous e-mail that do not apply to your response including e-mail headers and signature files removes the clutter. In addition, by making the effort to reply point by point keeps the conversation on track with fewer misunderstandings.</p>
<p>9. Common Courtesy: Hello, Hi, Good Day, Thank You, Sincerely, Best Regards.  All those intros and sign offs that are a staple of professional business communications should also be used in your business e-mail communications.  Always have a salutation and sign off with every e-mail. Here again &#8211; think business letterhead.</p>
<p>10. Signature files: Keep your signature files to no more than 5-6 lines as this can be viewed as a bit egocentric. Limit your signature to your Web site link, company name, and slogan/offer or phone number. Include a link to your site where the recipient can get all your contact information from A-Z &#8211; that is what your site is for.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t forget to include the &#8220;http://&#8221; when including your Web site address within e-mails and your signature file to ensure it is recognized as a clickable URL regardless of the user&#8217;s software or platform.</p>
<p>The above Top 10 items will certainly allow your business communications to rise above the majority who do not take the time to understand and master these issues.  When forging new business relationships and solidifying established partnerships, the level of professionalism and courtesy you relay in your business e-mail communications will always gain clients over the competition that may be anemic, uninformed or just plain lazy in this area.  Went it comes to business, regardless of mode of communication used, professionalism and courtesy never go out of style.</p>
