There are many ways of writing emails. I am sure we have observed many emails being written using sloppy techniques that won’t be of much help. Emails that drag on in a rather pushy style are not uncommon. It is sad but it’s a fact that these emails do surface every now and then in our mailboxes. If only emails are written with care and great thoughts put in finding the best possible style, structure and presentation, there will not be high chances of their immediate deletion from the mailboxes.

(1) Get to know your customer well - The very first condition that determines your direction in your business is the decision on your target audience.

Otherwise, they would just regard it as another spam message worthy of deletion. If there is a promise stated clearly in the subject line, it is only right that you fulfill that promise to gain the trust of your prospects or customers. This is clear enough that once there is a breach of trust, it would take a mountainous effort to bring them back.
(4) Be warm and embracing - Personalize your messages. Use a very friendly tone. Talk directly to your customers using “You”. It is part of psychological and emotional therapy.
