Top 32 Rules of Email Etiquette

Business etiquette - rules of email etiquette

Business etiquette - rules of email etiquette

1. Be concise and to the point.

Do not make an e-mail longer than it needs to be. Remember that reading an e-mail is harder than reading printed communications and a long e-mail can be very discouraging to read.

2. Answer all questions, and pre-empt further questions.

An email reply must answer all questions, and pre-empt further questions – If you do not answer all the questions in the original email, you will receive further e-mails regarding the unanswered questions, which will not only waste your time and your customer’s time but also cause considerable frustration. Moreover, if you are able to pre-empt relevant questions, your customer will be grateful and impressed with your efficient and thoughtful customer service. Imagine for instance that a customer sends you an email asking which credit cards you accept. Instead of just listing the credit card types, you can guess that their next question will be about how they can order, so you also include some order information and a URL to your order page. Customers will definitely appreciate this.

Email Marketing Ideas to Incorporate with Your Atomic Sender Campaigns.

These email marketing tips are important!

These email marketing tips are important!

Emphasize with Words Not Exclamation Marks

In order to emphasize a point or express urgency most people will immediately think of adding an exclamation mark to the end of a sentence. Studies show, however, that exclamation marks do not metaphysically put importance in the words preceding them, they just express the importance of what’s already in the content or be heard as a command.

While preparing an e-mail for a marketing campaign we suggest the following:

  • Not to use exclamation marks in the email content. If you feel the need to use an exclamation point, reread and redo the sentence or the entire paragraph to make the words, the rhythm and the sentence structure develop their own urgency and importance.

Staffcop - to serve and protect!

Corporate data security is an important issue for any company regardless of the size. The nature and focus of corporate data security has changed dramatically in the last 10 years. Most current businesses use digital technologies, high performance computers, e-commerce solutions, wireless devices and other technology innovations in effort to perform more efficiently.

In spite of a wide range of IT solutions available for businesses, there have been new threats to systems and data integrity with security breaches being reported regularly. The focus of corporate technology strategies is changing to include the new ways of doing business so the IT budgets of security departments and agencies inevitably have to grow. In fact, billions of dollars are spent each year on corporate network security solutions intended to prevent and fight hacker attacks. However, there are some important facts most people do not realize.

  • Statistically over 80% of security breaches are caused by insiders – most often employees.
  • More than 20% of attacks on the corporate Web sites come from the inside!
  • Almost 30% of companies experience more than 5 attacks from the inside per year.

So the main ingredient in cooking an article is a large dose of creativity. These tips below will help you to boost your creativity and focus your thoughts.

1) Keep a diary or a journal with you always. Ideas can be triggered by anything you may hear, see, or smell. Your senses are your radar in finding great ideas. Write all of them into a journal and keep it with you for future reference. You may also write down anything that you have read or heard, someone’s ideas could be used to develop your own ideas and this is not stealing.

Forum Marketing Techniques 2009: From A to Z

Forum Marketing Techniques

Forum Marketing Techniques

Introducing latest Forum Marketing techniques, tips and tricks. This article shows you all the cornerstones and most popular mistakes in Forum Marketing.

Ask any online marketing veteran and he’ll tell you that the road to internet prominence is paved by a race to have the most number of back links possible. With Google leading the way among the hundreds of search engines in the World Wide Web, link popularity, or the number of websites linking to your pages, has become a very important ingredient for good positioning in search engine results. The number of back links your website would have will significantly affect your website’s page rank (PR). The higher you website’s PR is, the higher it will place in search engine results pages (SERPs).

Using this known formula, online businessmen have tried to move heaven and earth to ensure the most number of back links possible. Article marketing was developed to boost such a number. Triangular linking was conceived to go around the prohibition against reciprocal linking. Ezine ads and links to high PR sites have been bought to deliver some much needed back links.

One of the most potent marketing strategies of this nature is forum marketing, or, the proper usage of online communities for the promotion of your website. Please take note. The operative word in the definition above is “proper.” Yes, people do tend to abuse forum marketing, and as a result, the tactic backfires on them. So it is very important to know the exact measures that should be taken so that you’d be able to make the most out of your forum marketing campaign.

Here are some pointers.
