Shared below are a few important tips for Email communication for businesses during COVID 19 crisis

1. Avoid being spammed

Make sure to monitor email communications. Be mindful of the frequency of promotion set by your marketing or Sales team. If this is overdone –there is a likelihood that your mail will be marked as SPAM or fall under Junk mails.

2. Build an engaging way to promote your product

Ensure that your subscribers and clients are well engaged with the content, using a clear and concise subject line and maintaining a far less anxious and formal tone.

3. Send emails only when you have a justifiable business demand

Give prime concern only to communications that are really useful to your subscribers. There is no need to send email notifications to all your clients, they may not appreciate an email notification with repeated messages. You should instead segment your contact list and target only your active subscribers.

4. Authenticate your domains to DKIM and SPF
