Tips for More Effective Emails
• Read through your email before pressing the "send" button. It may even be a good idea (when possible) to print out your email before sending it. Do you want to say all of this? Is your tone appropriate? Have you included all promised attachments?
• Check for spelling and punctuation errors. Mistakes can damage your credibility.
• Put the most important information on the first screen the reader will see. (And remember, some of your reader are using a PDA.) Many readers won't scroll down past the first screen of text.
• Make your subject line substantive and informative. Readers use the subject line in deciding what to read and what to ignore (or put off for another day). If there is a deadline, put it in the subject line. If you need some action, put it into subject line.
• Keep paragraphs short and use white space. Where appropriate, use bulleted lists. Formatting affects readability.
