Emails: Do They Help or Hurt Your Gift Basket Business?

Many of us use email everyday to communicate with our customers and our suppliers. It’s a fast, efficient way of giving information to and getting information from those with whom we do business. But we need to remember that the emails we send are a reflection of our businesses and of ourselves.

I just read a very interesting article titled “Email 101″ that offers great tips for using (and not abusing) business emails. “Whether you intend it to be or not, an email says something about your brand identify, about your level of customer service, about the quality of your work, and about your ability to get things done quickly and correctly.” Read the full article to get some ideas how you can make your emails work better for you and and your business.

My favorite tip: Use all the time that you save by using email to pick up the phone! Don’t forget that personal contact is still the best way to insure that your customers will remain loyal and your suppliers will give you the service that you deserve.
