Do your emails get what you want?

A nice article on SEOmoz covers effective email writing – unlike most such articles, it's not specific to, say, business sales emails, but outlines some general principles which you can include in any type of email. How to Write Email to Get a Better Response Rate offers some decent tips which might apply as much to requesting something from a colleague. It sums up the need to use catchy subject titles and personal names, as well as dedicating the first paragraph to the receiver, the second paragraph to letting the reader know what you want and the need to sum up the email nicely in a courteous way. I've just made a note of this on my jotter and will be trying to stick to it where possible.

Agree with that? Why not share this on Twitter or on Facebook? And if you don't already receive these articles by Chris every day, via email, then join the circulation for free, here...
