Why are you being ignored?
Nobody wants to be ignored. But that is just what people are
doing to all the things that they receive in their emails. If
you think about it, all the effort ignored and not even given a
glimpse. Talk about being ignored.
There are some reasons why your mails are getting ignored.
Better to know them than be a part of the bin and be discarded
like thrash.
Follow up emails. These kinds of mails are okay and are quite
necessary if you want people to know you exist and just how
serious you are taking the matter. The thing is, give people
some time to digest what you are trying to say first. Give them
time to answer your first message first. Wait 24 hours maximum.
People do have other things to do besides sit in their computer
and look at their mails, you know.
HTML. These mails usually are twice the size of a plain text
with the same content. Chances are your mails will be cut off if
the recipient has set their mail to skip downloading. Now the
readers have to make an extra effort to try and retrieve what is
lost. Besides, blue hyperlinks are not really that
attention-seeker it should be. Irritating sometimes.
Ezine. It is very inconsiderate to send mails the size of an
ezine to business people. This is a guarantee that your mails
would not be read because they do not have the time to go
through many quotes or lines just to get to the zest of the
mail. The flowery and juicy words may have worked for your
lover, but certainly not the readers who do not even know you at
all. Just get directly to the point and keep moving. Not
everyone have all the time in the world.
Important! Is it really that important? People have the knack to
mark their messages with High Priority or something like that.
There are lots of cynical and sarcastic persons who will be
receiving your "important" mails and would probably read them
last. It is a shot, yes. But do not start abusing priority
markers just to get a reply. You might not even get it because
of that.
If you want people to give you some of their time, do not do the
things mentioned above. You might think they are good marketing
strategies online but readers are now too wise to fall into one
of them.
Try the opposite.
