Email has changed the way we do business. Sure,
people
complain about the amount of Email they receive. But when
all is said and done, using Email has impacted business in
a positive way and has the edge over other methods of
communication.
Here are five advantages of using Email:
Managing Email is Easy
You can manage all your correspondence on screen
and so can
your customers. Your proposal can be answered, revised,
stored, and sent to others, all without reams of paper
involved.
Email is Fast
Mail is delivered instantly...from your office to
anywhere
in the world. No other method of delivery can provide this
service. Timely buying and selling decisions can be made in
a heartbeat.
Email is Inexpensive
Compared to telephone calls, faxes, or over night
courier
service, Email is less expensive.
Email is Easy to Filter
The subject line on an Email makes it easy to
prioritize
messages. The reader can identify critical correspondence
quickly and dealt with it immediately. Unlike regular mail
which needs to be opened and reviewed, or voice mail which
requires you to either listen to or scan all your messages
for those that require immediate attention.
Transmission is Secure and Reliable
The level of security in transmitting Email
messages is
very high, and the industry continues to strive to develop
even tighter security levels. Email is private. Often
telephone and fax messages are not. If the address
information is correct, rarely does an Email go astray. Fax
machines can be out of order or out of paper and this
prevents an important message from being delivered in a
timely manner.
Email is an Internet marketing tool that is fast,
easy to
use, inexpensive and effective. Email levels the playing
field between the big corporations and small businesses. No
longer is it just the big boys who have the resources to
access the big advertising houses. Anyone can get their
word out there using Email as the method of delivering the
message.
