Communicating a message about a new product or a new online promotion can be delivered in many different ways. Businesses have come a long way from simply writing and sending a stamped letter to inform customers about very important content.
Today’s small business and entrepreneur Internet users have taken advantage of the use of electronic mail. E-mail (short for electronic mail) is a method of exchanging digital messages. It is based on a store-and-forward model in which e-mail computer server systems accept, forward, deliver and store messages on behalf of users.
Most e-mail providers offer email addresses for free. It is the most efficient forms of communication. Top e-mail providers include:
Google
Yahoo
AOL
Below are a few reasons why your business should invest in e-mail:
Messages can be sent to several individuals at one time. This way you don’t have to send out each message one by one.
E-mail messages can be personalized. Color, banners, and photos can all be used to add life to your content. Sending a broad message often causes individuals to ignore your initial efforts.
It is more reliable and confidential than other types of communication.
Key features, such as an address book, allow you to create groups with similar clients. This will help you target the individuals who are most likely to respond to each particular message.
Staying in touch with customers on a regular will potentially build a long term relationship. Once a message is sent, you are able to see the results of your efforts instantly. Discern who responds and who opts-out of your messages.

Communication: Instant Messaging
(11:03 AM) Stacee09: Want to meet up for lunch?
(11:04 AM) BrianT: Sure! What time? Where?
(11:07 AM) Stacee09: Rock Bottom at 1! See ya later!
There are many ways to communicate with people in the workplace. Some choose to simply get up from their desk and walk to the person which they need to discuss business with while others find it easier to send a quick message. But, how do they accomplish this? It’s simple – Instant Messaging.
Instant Messaging, also known as IM, is a form of real-time communication between or more people through typed text. The text is transmitted via devices connected over a network such as the Internet or Intranet.
It is important to differentiate chat and instant messaging from such technologies such as email. With instant messaging, the communication between the users happens in real-time while email is not. Certain systems allow messages to be sent to individual who are not currently logged on (offline messages), therefore removing much of the difference between Instant Messaging and e-mail.
IM permits both effective and efficient communication, including immediate receipt of acknowledgement or reply.
Suppliers of Instant Messaging include AOL (AIM), Yahoo (Yahoo Messenger), Fonality HUD, and Google (Google Talk).
Typical Instant Messaging Features
Video – send and view videos, and chat face-to-face
Images – send and view photos
Sounds – play sounds
Files – share uploaded files
Web Links – share links to different websites
Talk – use the Internet instead of a phone to actually talk with friends
Mobile capabilities – send instant messages from your cell phone

The Key to Getting Your E-mail Opened
If you are like many companies out there, you are using direct e-mail advertisements to give possible consumers a chance to check out what you have to offer and learn a little bit about your company. If you are also like most of those companies, you are having a constant struggle trying to get said consumers to even give your messages a chance. The subject line is the first thing that the consumer will see so it is obvious why this would be the most important and why it is key to the sale.
The first thing you should know about a subject line is that it needs to read like you would speak to a customer. If you have a North Carolina web design firm and your e-mail reads, “ACT NOW WEB DESIGN AT NEW LOW PRICE” nobody is going to be interested in what you have to say. The more your e-mails appear to be from family, friends, or colleagues, the more likely the consumer is to open it.
After making the subject line seem natural the next most important thing is personalizing it. When a consumer sees their name, they automatically react differently than normal. This is also true with other information such as: their city, occupation, interests, and anything else you have as a resource.
Another important thing to think about is to keep it simple. A short sentence is almost always enough information to get your point across. Studies show that the more creative subject lines read like advertisements to consumers and they simply do not get any attention. It is almost always the more “boring” subject lines that attract people. Phrases like “[COMPANYNAME] Sales & Marketing Newsletter”, or “Website news - Issue 3” were on the top of the most clicked list while phrases such as “Last Minute Gift - We Have The Answer”, or “[COMPANYNAME] Holiday Sales Event” were at the bottom of the list.
To summarize: keep your subject line natural, keep your subject line personal, and keep your subject line simple. This will attract the customer initially and keep them interested after they do open the e-mail. Also, do not forget to make the body of the e-mail correspond with the subject line… it seems simple enough but there are many companies out there with very attractive subject lines that get wasted when a consumer clicks it only to feel tricked.
