Yes, it neither
sounds very exciting nor empowering. But the basics
are the very foundation! Missing this basic and you
could well end up wasting your efforts for the next
few months to come.
Like everyone else, you truly want your email campaign
to be fruitful, and in the process you too don’t want
to annoy your readers. Turning off your reader with
your poor email etiquette and you can be sure that they’ll
tune out your email message. Spoof…there goes your online
business as well! Don’t ever let this disaster happen
to you!
What kind of email message brings true sale leads?
Basic......a message that earns basic respect will bring
sales, and that’s our discussion here.
Common Sense 1 – Break up your message up into short
paragraphs
Always remember to break up your message and lines so
that they don’t end up with long characters. Wondering
why to do this? Simply there are 2 basic reasons:
• Ask yourself this: - after looking at computer screen
for quite some time, do you feel your eyes getting tire,
getting fatigue? That would very well happen to others
too! The shorter the span of characters across the screen
will really makes reading much relaxing, and naturally
it’ll be much more appealing to your reader.
• Another reason is this: - some email clients or handler
is set to automatically enforcing character or line
wrapping. If your message is too long, the content will
be presented in "chopped off" style! This definitely
will make it looks ugly.
Common Sense 2 - Be extra careful when using letter
Caps
How often had you changed your TV channel just to skip
listening to some sale bombardment? No one will likes
sale bombardment...and no one likes a "sale bombardment"
email message too. You are going to be turned off by
your reader if you do such bombardment.
Email messages written in all caps are considered rule
and yelling towards its reader. It’s alright to include
some sentences and words in all caps, but don’t ever
go overboard. If you need to, break them up into paragraph
for the content.
Emails and message presented in all caps are perceived
as rude and uneducated, and will damage the credibility
of the sender. How would the reader going to buy from
a source that they don’t se the credibility?
Common Sense 3 - Correct Your Grammar and Word’s spelling
before Sending It
Rule of thumb, as a consumer yourself, would you be
convinced by an email that tries to sell you something
but had noticeable word’s spelling and grammar errors?
You wouldn’t! And your perception towards that sender
would be well negative too!
When a recipient reads your sales message that’s filled
with stupid errors, what would they think? "Gosh, this
fellow doesn’t even take the small effort to get his
message written correctly. His product is most probably
the same lousy quality as his emails."
If you are in business, keep in mind that your image
and presentation is your business reputation. More important
if you are doing online business where most, if not
all your customers don’t get the chance to see you face
to face. Your reputation is the main reason why people
are buying from you or the next guy he come across.
It’s of utmost critical that you consistently project
a professional image of CREDIBILITY in the mind of your
potential customers.
Remember it hard all the time, doing business online
and sending emails that filled with lousy errors don’t
just hurt your online business image...it simply will
kill it. And that goes good bye with your business.
