Writing email is a part of our day to day activities. If you are work at office you write email to your colleagues,clients. There are few rules of email etiquette help us communicate better via email.
1) Use appropriate Subject Lines
Do not keep the subject line blank. Keep the subject line simple and more appropriate to the content of the email. The recipient will decide to read the email reading the subject line of the email.
2) Always use “Reply to All”
3) Be simple and to the Point.
Email is harder to read then the printed messages. The email that goes on and on is less likely to be read . If the email is just 2 or 3 sentences then may be you should just pick up the phone and talk to the person.
4) Use proper grammar, punctuation and spelling.
Poorly written email with bad grammar reflects on you and your company.Almost every email tool has speller and grammar checker program. So use it.
5) The 24 Hour Rule
Always reply to your email within 24 hours . This tells your customer that you are focused on prompt service .
