| The
world of email is chock full of spam. It's
inevitable that all of have to sift through the
endless stream of garbage emails. Some of
them are companies trying to sell us stuff, others
contain viruses, while others are simply unintelligible.
It can be one of the most frustrating things we
have to face when it comes to email. And,
the worst thing is trying to distinguish the email
you really do want from the stuff that you don't.
So, what's the
solution? Obviously there is a ton of
software out there to fight spam. Some are
Spam Blockers, Spam Assassins, Box Trappers,
etc... In reality, these work to a point but
sometimes catch stuff that you really want.
So, we ask again,
what's the solution? Our biggest and best
suggestion is that if everyone you know actually
wrote clear and detailed "Subject Lines"
in their emails than we all could jet through the
garbage and keep the stuff that we want.
It's frustrating when a friend or acquaintance
writes something like, "How you doing?"
or "Check this out" in the Subject line.
A rule of thumb is
to always write something very recognizable in the
Subject Line. We tell all of our clients to
either write their Company Name or to write our
Name (Flagstaff Central) in the Subject
Line. This triggers a quick, "I want
that" when we are sifting through the
email. It's a great idea!
Always
write a clear Subject Line!
