It gets up close and personal, showing your brand to  prospects. To some readers, it feels almost as intimate as a phone call,  but is never as disruptive. If you can keep your business email writing  on point and of&nbsp;interest to the reader, your emails will build  credibility and recognition for you and your brand.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Business Email Writing: Subject Line<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>If your name is not on the short list of priority senders a reader  always reads first, then your subject is the headline that will either  earn a click, a pass, or a deletion. Intriguing headlines get the  clicks, but you should avoid tricks that can backfire if readers feel  your content fails to deliver on your headline.<\/p>\n<p>Tried-and-true headlines include numbered lists, how tos, and promises  to solve a problem. Load your subject with the important words first, as  many email programs cut off subjects at fifty characters or even as few  as twenty.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Business Email Writing: Content<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Engaging content solves problems for readers. Surveys can help you hone  in on the content that your audience would like to read. Paying  attention to those who click links in your emails and those who  unsubscribe will further inform the topics you choose to address in your  business email writing.<\/p>\n<p>Every business email should get to the point immediately. Most  recipients get far more email than they can process and will appreciate  your directness. They also like it short. Consider having readers click  through to a web page if your content will run more than 200 words.<\/p>\n<p>Ideally, the first or second paragraph will state your purpose and  explain how you will deliver on the promise you made in your subject  line. You can use headings to break up chunks of text and allow readers  to scan for pertinent information. This will then make it easy for them  to retrieve the gist of a message should they need to refer back to it  at a later date.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that a casual tone does not forgive a sloppy approach to  spelling and grammar. If you want people to treat you as a professional,  your business email writing must set that standard for your brand.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Business Emails: Familiarity Breeds Fans<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Businesses who use the responses of their email readers to guide their  content creation and product development find that some of these readers  go on to become brand ambassadors. Something about seeing a brand in  their inboxes and hearing that &#8220;voice&#8221; in the messages causes them to  invest in brand&#8217;s promotion. Use these tips to inform your business  email writing and start creating the engaging content that helps you to  connect with those who will become your biggest fans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Email may be the single most productive marketing tool you can wield on the Internet.
