Improve Your Email Style

The integration of mobile phones into social life is still in its infancy in most parts of the world, triggering a set of socio cultural convulsions as institutions, people and places adapt to and regulate its use. As is typical with technologies that alter patterns of social life, the mobile phone has been subjected to onslaught of criticism for the ways in which it disrupts existing norms of propriety and social boundaries. While celebrated as a technology that liberates users from the constraints of place and time, it has equally been reviled as a technology that disrupts the integrity of places and fact-to-face social encounters.

"Even a silent mobile can make its presence felt as though it was an addition to a social group, and … many people feel that just the knowledge that a call might intervene tends to divert attention from those present at the time".

Mobile messaging has been prevalent among the youth population since nineties, when pagers were adopted as a way of sending text messages among high school and college students. By the mid nineties, different variants of mobile phones began to replace pagers in the youth and general populations. In addition to telephony these phones had the ability to send short text messages between mobile phone handsets. With the advent of Internet, users were able to send longer messages regardless of phone type or service provider. All of these technical developments have supported the rapid spread of mobile email among the youth population.

We use the term mobile email to refer to all types of textual and pictorial transmission via mobile phones. This includes what Japanese refer to as "short mail" and Europeans refer to as "short text messages", as well as the wider variety enabled by the mobile Internet. Even as mobile phones have become common in all age groups, however, the younger demographic has a higher volume and unique pattern of usage that differentiate them from older users. At average students pay more than the general mobile using population. Secondly, the growing mobile work force across the world have a greater need to mobile email access so as to remain connected with information at all times, at all places.

The proliferation of mobile devices and the increased demand for mobile email among "on the go professionals" provides easy web browsing and email capabilities, producing user-friendly email experiences mirroring traditional computers. Mobile emails enable the user to receive and send emails via their mobile phones and view text, pdf, picture and sound attachments thereby enhancing the overall work potential, efficiency and productivity of the mobile professional. It also enables the management to improvise the flow of information and ability to control mobile workforce with greater effectiveness.

Theft of your personal date from email is not an amazing event, as many of the similar events are coming before us day by day. Hacking of personal data with US vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin can be an apparent example to make you aware at all. You put your several sensitive date while opening an email account, so it entails for being alert always to skip from any hacking.

Normally there are two requirements to enter any email account, the email ID and the password. Your email ID is know to all whom you mail or chat but only it is the password that make your account personalized. So, the hackers now have only the need to know your password to hack any information out from there. However you may be awry that how can one know your password that always remains secret with you? Yes you are true to some extent but the reset option enables the hacker to create a new one and use it as account holder.

So the critical aspect to be followed here is to filling out your account form with much cautious. For your password security you have to answer one or two questions asked by the mail service provider. Normally you choose only those questions which are very common or for which you can retain the exact answer anytime. These are generally your phone number, house number, your pet dogs’ number. But all these should be avoided while answering the question there. The hackers normally guess such questions and take advantage of the reset option to get a new password for your Email ID. Further many of you have habit of noting down the detail on page that too is dangerous, may be it can be trapped with some one closer to you.

Besides this you always choose a strong password that includes numerical and character or even symbols often. However it depends upon the service provider that whether they are allowing such option or not but when you mix a character with the numerical it becomes considerably tough to be hacked by any hackers. Like you can answer your security question as my+pet+dog+name +is+abc. Further some service provider let you put your won question, so always see if you are getting this option or not. If you get this option then you can put more security to you email account.

Since, you never will want to share your some of personal information, getting a much secured email ID can be an issue with you. With the time technology has witnessed changes and developments but it has some flaws that worry you often. To have a more entrusted email account you need to take all those preventive steps that build a strong security wall for you.

eMail management has become a high priority for all businesses, both large and small, with most written correspondence being delivered in email form. Businesses can use tools like SharePoint to manage most of their important business documents, but the inability to easily place emails into SharePoint and share those files within a document library is a problem that many SharePoint users have encountered. nSynergy developed a tool called myDocs to integrate SharePoint and Outlook, and finally solve the problem of managing email within SharePoint.

Recently, search giant Google Inc. has added some new features to its Web mail service Gmail.

The intuitive, efficient, and useful beta version of Gmail was available for general public from February 7, 2007. Gmail is getting more and more popularity day by day and till date it has millions of users. This feature will make you to walk through the additional features that are adde In this feature I am going to present additional features added by Google to Gmail.

Group chat is a small but interesting feature for Gmail users that allows you to chat with more than one friend at the same time. This can be achieved by following these simple steps:

• Start a chat with a single person in your Contacts list.

• Once you've started the chat, click Options at the bottom left of your chat window and select Group Chat.

• In the labeled "Add a person to this chat"; enter the name of the contacts you want to add to your group chat.

The group chat will continue until all participants have left.

Free IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) feature will automatically and instantly synchronize your inbox with your phone or your desktop and you can make changes from anywhere to your inbox. IMAP creates a constant connection between mail clients (desktop and/or mobile) and Gmail. The feature also allows users to download messages from Gmail's servers onto their computer so that they can access their mail with a programme like Microsoft Outlook Express or Apple Mail.

Increased attachment limit is another distinctive amendment is that Gmail has fixed attachment limit to 20 megabytes (MB). But, when you add an attachment, the size of a file may increase because transport encodings are automatically added and it means that in some cases, attachments that are 17 to 20MB in size may push the total message size to above 20MB. Attachment is actually a computer file which is sent along with an e-mail message which can be sent in either in unencoded form, or encoded form.

A message notification provides you a better and smarterway to access your mails as this feature notify you on your phone, when you got a new message in your inbox. More so, if someone sends a reply while you're in the middle of reading a conversation or replying to it, you'll get a notification that a new message has arrived. You can easily update your Gamil by clicking "update conversation" option in your mailbox.

Get mail from other accounts allows you to retrieve your mails either new and old from up to five other email accounts and have them all in Gmail and you can create customized 'From:' address, which allows you to send messages from Gmail. One thing that should be taken into consideration is that you can only retrieve mail from accounts that have POP3 access enabled.

New Gadgets surfing features provides you an option to integrate Google Gadgets in Gmail's left-hand navigation bar. For the initial phase, the company has provided two sample Gadgets Google Docs and Calendar. The Gadgets can be easily enabled through the Gmail Labs tab in the Settings menu. Google has also added a Gmail Labs option to `Add any gadget by URL,' which allows you to add any Gadget using iGoogle.

An emoticon is a symbol or combination of symbols used to convey emotional content in written or message form. Examples of well known emoticons are the smiley faces. Emoticons have been available on Google Chat for quite some time, but recently they made their appearance on Gmail. Besides the common gestures like smiling or winking, the new emoticons have been added to help users get their points across better.

At crux, we can say that the above additional features will make Gmail more efficient and usable for users.

They are using squeeze pages to force new traffic to opt in to get into their web site. This is much stronger than just adding an opt-in web form on every page of your website. What is your new visitor conversion rate to opt-in to your mailing list? 5%, 10%? With a squeeze page that offers the only access to your web site, that number can range anywhere from 40% to as much as 80%, depending on the value of the information in your web site and the effectiveness of your squeeze page at conveying that information. Wow! Talk about a huge increase! 800% at the top end. Even if you are just getting 10 subscribers a day, imagine if that were 80 a day, with no change in your traffic! That is subscribers per month--do the math for the yearly number.

They utilize the power of numbers. They know that if they are getting 100 leads a day, they can track their advertising much more effectively and certainly faster, than you are getting 10 leads a day. They are willing to take extra steps to make those extra numbers happen.

They test everything they do. For more information log to: www.mailing-lists-profit.com. They know what sources convert at 10%, at 20%, at into subscribers. They know the cost-per-subscriber of every source they use. When you track things, they tend to improve.

They treat their subscribers as if they are worth money. What is your average subscriber worth? cents a month? What are you willing to pay for a subscriber that is worth 50 cents a month? How about a dollar a month? And you are struggling with paying 50 cents to get a new subscriber?

They are back ending their new subscribers. After the subscriber opt-in, the thank you page is a high-converting sales page. For more help visit to: www.confession-followup-marketing.com. It has been said that with the right thank you sales page, 100% of the opt-in cost can be recovered on the spot.

They are single-minded. It is far better to become highly successful at one or two sources of traffic than to be mediocre at 10 different sources. Become an expert at one source of traffic and the necessary conversion tactics for that traffic source. You see, one squeeze page may be highly effective at converting a particular traffic source, but lousy at another. Test different sources differently. Focus, focus, focus.

Emails are frequently used to distribute newsletters, promotional mails, and various other kinds of material. To profit from this type of marketing strategy, you'll first need to build an opt-in list. A targeted opt-in list should include the profile of the email address owner. Here are some basic steps on how to create a comprehensive opt-in list.

1. Create a website. If you have a website, you can invite visitors to register with your website or sign your guestbook before leaving. The days of having to know code in order to create a website are over. Some website creator programs just require you to cut and paste, like that of WYSIWYG (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) software. For more details login on to www.mailing-lists-profit.com. Many hosting sites offer free simple to use website building software.

2. Set up a promotion or freebie. Offer your visitor something worthwhile in exchange for their email address, name and other limited personal information. Use Limited Time Only offers as an immediate call to action. You want to grab their attention and get them to act. Make the visitor aware that by requesting the promotion or freebie they're also agreeing to receive future emails from you.

3. Set up an easy opt-out option. When people know that they're not locked in forever, they're more prone to check out the offer by opting in. It creates a feeling of control and works on the same premise as a refund policy. Not satisfied, opt-out.

4. Write and write some more. Submit articles, write a press release, post in forums, start blogging, and visit social networking communities for starters. A great way to promote your site is through your signature file and writing quality content helps establish credibility. You can also go to www.confessions-followup-marketing.com. People are constantly looking for information on the web and when they obtain whatever they were searching for (answer, idea, knowledge) they will often follow links and/or research the author to get further information.

5. Be creative. Partner with a company that has a business similar to your own. Promote offline with a raffle or something and place an email address opt-in as part of the entry form.

Building a targeted opt-in list can take time, money and effort. People who choose to opt-in are usually in the market for what you are offering and thus, sales prospects. Obtaining a targeted opt-in list can dramatically boost your sales, so these tools are certainly essential.

It is a well known yet largely ignored fact: email is far from safe. As business owners and consumers, we compromise our safety because of email’s ease and efficiency. As a result, we continue to put our privacy, security and even our identity at risk when we exchange sensitive information via email.

The Founders and developers behind the SenditCertified ePackage™ would like to take this opportunity to debunk some facts about email that have long been overlooked or worse, misunderstood. Here are five myths about email use:

1. When I hit send, my email goes directly to its intended recipient.

When you hit the send key, your message can "bounce" from node to node and server to server, multiple times before reaching the recipient (a recent test trace indicated 16 hits for one simple email). Each time your message interacts with one of these new computers and servers, a copy may be retained and stored there – this is referred to as ‘store and forward’ technology.

2. While my email is traveling thru the Internet, it is secure.

Despite best efforts and assurances by some vendors, the Internet is fraught with vulnerabilities. Should the content of your message be confidential, there is no guarantee that it will not be intercepted during its travels by one or many criminal elements, using literally hundreds of technology tools readily available on different Internet sites.

3. As long as I keep a copy of my original email and attachments, I will be in compliance with any request for e-disclosure.

More than 25% of current court cases require the re-production of specific email messages, and that percentage is increasing every year. The new regulations regarding email retention and reproduction are more complex than could ever be explained here. However, past court cases have proven that if a company can’t reproduce emails pertinent to a given case, in a time-frame dictated by the court, the court can assume the information contained therein must be unfavorable to the company’s position, and render an automatic guilty verdict against the company and its involved employees.

4. Anything my attorney and I communicate via email is covered by the attorney/client privilege.

The rules governing attorney/client privilege have been forced into review, specifically due to the advent of email. At this moment in time, a final judgment on the interpretation of the rule has not been issued. However, it has been ruled recently that because the Internet is ‘public’, any discussion or information communicated via email between an attorney and his/her client is not covered by the privilege.

5. I can delete email records as I see fit, even if they involve confidential company information.

Regulations on email retention are very specific and vary depending on the application and content of each email. For example, emails containing financial information may need to be kept for varying periods of time, from 3 – 7 years. Any company not enforcing a strict retention program on their employees, for each type of email, is leaving themselves open to damaging litigation.

It is clear that just as the Internet continues to grow and develop, so do email regulations; and this relatively new mode of communication is extremely vulnerable. The goal of a SenditCertified ePackage™ is to secure your communication and protect your business. The company’s goal is to provide simple access and ease of use with their new technology. They have created a solution that requires no software to load or maintain, while simultaneously providing the most secure transmission and highest level of encryption available.

When should you send your Ezine for optimal ROI?

It is a question that every business has to consider, but what is the answer? According to the Ezine Editors and Publishers Association, NEPA, over the last three years companies have sent their Ezines and email marketing pieces on three main days of the week; Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Tuesday was the most popular day of the week with 23.6% and Wednesday came in second with 22.7%.

What does this mean for your business?

Should you go against the grain and send your ezine out on a Monday or Friday? Probably not, but consider your clientele first. Business to business Ezines traditionally do not fare well on Monday because it is the primary meeting day for most executives and decision makers and Friday is ineffective because many people are simply on their way out the door.

If on the other hand, you’re marketing to consumers, then a Friday ezine has the potential to be effective because your readers would have the weekend to consider your information and offers.

Bottom line when considering the day of the week that your ezine goes out, consider your specific market and customers. If your clients tend to purchase on Thursdays, then test sending your Ezine to them a day or two before. It may prove to be the key to up selling or increasing sales on that day.

Time of the day is also an important consideration to sales. Generally, for mailing to business recipients 11am to 3 pm tends to be the most receptive time. An ezine received first thing in the morning may risk being deleted or over looked during the first morning rush and emails received at the end of the day are often ignored or put off until another day.

If, on the other hand, your know that your clients tend to put in full days and you know they eat lunch at their desks or they often conduct lunch meetings, than a ezine received right before lunch may have a good chance of being opened almost immediately.

Depending on the frequency of your ezine, you may also want to consider what day of the month you send your ezine on. If your prospects and clients tend to make purchases at the end of the month, then a ezine received mid month is likely right on target to assist them with their buying decision. Also be aware that your customer’s budget and budget constraints can impact not only their buying decision but ultimately their decision to open your email.

One last factor to consider is your competition.

When do they send their ezines? Do you want your ezine to be in your prospect’s in-box with your competitors or is it better to stand out from the crowd? That may be determined by your product and the volume of purchases. If you’re marketing a high end augmented product, you might want to consider beating your competitors to the punch. If however, you’re marketing a consumer good or service, then frequency of your message may be more important than standing alone in their in-box.
