Really? Of all the posts you see from admin, this is what you see? And okay, let me get it straight - we all think we're expert in writing emails. I'd like to think so too. I feel like I'm using the proper greeting, the correct intonation, etc. However, WIRED senior editor Victoria Turk thinks we're doing it wrong. Watch this TED Talk as Victoria guides us on some of the oft-neglected fundamentals of email etiquette.

    this is good if you are emailing back and forth in a work situation.

    Pretty much useless as it pertains to email marketing

      Would agree. This would pair well with a business writing 101 type talk/course for corporations I've worked for; less so for the craft of persuasive emails / email marketing.

      Fwiw, I actually thought the anecdote bemoaning Bezos' one-character emails to his employees (where he forwards a customer email with a "?") had the opposite effect ... assuming the customer question was spelled out correctly, I think that would make for a pretty effective employee communication!

    If you make the business email you have to need a business email account.
    and you have to make a personal account then you have to need an email account that is made by your won name.
    Professional Email Writing is great to work.
    First, you have to need an email that is used for your business.
    There have an example-
    Generally, we use personal accounts by using @gmail/@yahoo .com but the business email account make by @yourbussiness name .com type
    .
    Most of the time we are starting to type our mail by writing -
    Hello sir/Hello friend
    But this is a wrong technic we can make it -
    Example-
    Dear Sir/Dear Mam/Dear Friends
    etc. ways
    And lastly, we can use-
    your regards.
    and you can finish it.
    We have to mind one thing that email can make one paragraph size not make more paragraphs.

    Great sharing!
    Subject line. Be specific, but concise.
    Salutation. Address the recipient by name, if possible.
    Body text. This section explains the main message of the email.
    Signature. Your email closing should be formal, not informal.

    Email is considered as one of the most effective and prominent ways to reach your messages and information to your prospective customer and you can nurture them to change them into customers for your business.

    Stick with the GDPR regulation:
    When you adhere to the GDPR for the email process, you are following on of the best practice, so that you can expect your informative email to land in to the customer's inboxes rather than in the spam folder.

    Follow the CAN-SPAM law:

    CAN-SPAM law has been regulated for the delivery of quality email and restricted the promotional and unwanted email to the subscriber's email inbox. It has a few authentication processes which make it really relevant for the email marketer to follow before schedule or sending the emails.

    Use attractive subject lines with limited characters:

    The subject line is one of the best ways you can put on your email, this is the reason your email get open and get the click. So make sure you are using a short and informative subject line that engages and attracts your customers. Try to be in the characters limit in the subject line. You can use Preheader, that could be an effective way to elaborate on what is the email all about.

    Email Body:

    By using good content you can engage your subscriber through the life cycle and for the conversion as well. Make sure you don't use more promotional words on your email body.

    Authentication of SPF & DKIM:

    When you authenticate your SPF & DKIM then you can expect your email to deliver to the subscriber inboxes.

    Thank You!!
