For many industries and companies, email is one of the most\ncommon forms of communication, whether it\u2019s used for a quick response or a longer\ndetailed message. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since this method of communication is used often, there is a\nlot of room for error, which can negatively impact yourself and your business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are a few tips to remember when writing and sending\nemails that could save you a lot of grief. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

4 Email Etiquette\nTips <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Proofreading<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While many email servers offer editing services, they may\nnot catch the wrong word if it\u2019s spelled correctly; if you write \u201cant\u201d but mean\n\u201cand\u201d the editor may not catch it. While this may seem like a simple mistake\nand the email recipient will likely know what you are trying to convey, it can\nmake you look less professional. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take the time to read and then re-read your email; there\u2019s\nno point in losing credibility over an easy to catch error. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On occasion you may want to ask a trusted colleague to\nproofread an email for you to catch anything you missed, especially if you\u2019re\ntrying to convey a message that is potentially confusing or of a sensitive\nnature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep It Brief <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As we mentioned above, email is commonly used in businesses\nacross all industries; people can receive dozens of emails each day. Get to the\npoint quickly in your message so your recipient is more likely to provide a\ntimely and efficient response. If needed, you can always pick up the phone or arrange\na time to meet to review through the points of your email together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider Your Subject Line<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As David Erikson, Vice President of Online Marketing at\nKarwoski & Courage told Business\nNews Daily<\/a>, \u201cPeople prioritize what emails they read first by who\nthe sender is \u2013 you’re going to read emails from your boss right away \u2013 and\nsecond by what the subject line says.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure your subject line is clear and descriptive to what\nyou need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember Email Can Last Forever<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Regardless of whom you\u2019re emailing, remember that what you\nsend can potentially be shared for everyone to see. Don\u2019t be unprofessional and\ntreat the recipient poorly; they can always take a screenshot of the message\nand share it with your supervisor, potential clients or publicly on social\nmedia, possibly negatively impacting your job and company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When writing email, take the time to proofread your work,\nkeep it brief, use an effective subject line and remember that what you write\ncan live on. Are you interested in more workplace tips?
