10 Mistakes
Always proof read your emails. Your customers spend a lot of time researching and reviewing the quality of your products or services. One superficial mistake could make or break an otherwise done deal.

9 Email Address databases
Whether you're renting email list databases or devising your own lists you must make sure that your email addresses are current or you are wasting your time and effort.

8 Denial of Service (DOS)
Be aware of your Internet Service Providers (ISP) usage terms on sending emails. You do not want to be landed with a DOS because other ISPs may not touch you either. For example, your ISP may brand you a spammer if your email marketing program sends 10000 emails in 10 minutes.

7 Manage your campaign
Always have a means for recipients to Unsubscribe to your emails. These should go to a separate email address. Be aware of which emails designs are working and which are not. Test specific designs across different email browsers to ensure cross compatibility.

6 Separate email addresses
Be aware that you will need a number of email addresses if you are proceeding with an Email Marketing using your own system. For example, noreply for sending messages. Unsubscribe email, etc. This depends on your setup. Ensure that your web hosting company has supplied sufficient email addresses on your account or upgrade as required.

5 Seek expert advice
If you're at tip 5 and all this is starting to sound a little daunting to you. If you'd prefer to just get on with doing what you do best and run your business and are happy to let an experienced Email Marketer do what they do best then hiring an expert may provide better use of your time and budget.

4 Small sample trial
Test specific designs across different email browsers to ensure cross compatibility. If you're sending 10000 emails in total then test 1000 for bounce rate.

3 Measure your success (or failure)
1% or 2% is the norm from permission based Email Marketing campaigns. Learn from your failures. Was your design unsuitable for the target market. Were your company colours used for maximum effect and brand awareness? Did you use too much text? Inappropriate images? Is your data quality? What percentage of your emails were opened? What percentage even reached a valid email address? All of this can and should be measured to track the marketing campaign's success.

2 Targeted prospects
Don't send email to just anyone. You've gone to the trouble of targeting a particular market so stick with that market. If you are purchasing data is the best to purchase only what you need. You wouldn't go into a supermarket and buy every type of fruit and vegetables if you onyl eat apples, bananas, kiwis and cabbage would you? So don't buy all data that is available. This is not only expensive but is also inefficient and more of a hit and miss approx. Your Email Marketing campaign must be realistic and managable depending on your resources.

1 Legal
Adhere to the Email Marketing laws of your country. You should make yourself very familiar with Permission Based Email Marketing (try Googling the term). If your email marketing campaign is international then research and keep up to date with the particular law of the destination country. Specific country laws are outside the scope of this article but feel free to contact us with any queries.]]>

1. Save travel costs by enabling your people with better communication tools.

Office 2010 helps save time and money by providing one-click communication through unified communications technology, and document sharing from within Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel, without the need to switch applications. This makes virtual meetings more effective so team members can get more done without being in the same room.

2. Beat deadlines by working more effectively as a team.

Co-authoring allows multiple people to work on the same document at the same time, such as an RFP, to respond faster and meet deadlines. With Office 2010, multiple team members can work on Word 2010 and PowerPoint 2010 documents and be able to see who else is working on what sections.
3. Use Office virtually anywhere and on virtually any device.

With Office Web Apps, you can review and make minor edits to documents in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote 2010 from any supported Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Safari browser. All of the changes are saved and appear exactly as you intended, so you can seamlessly move from a desktop to the Web, and vice versa.

4. Gain control over your e-mail and calendar.

Outlook 2010 can help you take control of your day with conversation management tools, mail tips, calendar preview, and more. Stay better organized and up-do-date with less effort and find information you need fast.

5. Make informed business decisions the second you need to

Excel 2010 provides tools for improved data visualization, so you can gain key insights quickly and easily turn the numbers into a story to share with others. You can convey whole trends in a single cell with Sparklines, choose from more styles and icons in conditional formatting, and highlight specific items such as “max/min” in a single click.

6. Create sophisticated marketing in-house to get your business noticed.

Office 2010 puts you in the director’s chair, enabling you to create dazzling digital content in PowerPoint 2010 that comes to life with cutting-edge audio/video capabilities and animation enhancements. Your business can cut costs by reducing the need for third-party multimedia tools and design agencies.

7. Enable employees to work offline and keep your business moving forward.

SharePoint Workspace 2010 allows everyone to take content from SharePoint sites offline and work with that content from their desktop, without reliance on an Internet connection. This makes it easier for IT to drive a strategy with more consistent use of collaboration tools based on SharePoint technology throughout the organization.

8. Be more productive by finding what you need faster.

Office 2010 extends the toolbar throughout all applications, making it easier to find the commands you need. And the new Microsoft Office Backstage view (available in all applications except Communicator) gives your people quick access to important operations such as viewing document information, saving, printing, and sharing.

9. Protect inboxes from malicious attacks, so everyone in the business can rest easier.

Office 2010 provides a Protected View feature to help you guard against malware in your e-mail attachments and Internet files, as well as in Word, PowerPoint, and Excel documents.

10. Stay organized by keeping the right details in the right place.

OneNote is your essential “catch-all.” From daily sales figures to news articles clipped from the Web, you can make everything accessible and at the ready. You can even create side notes that stay on your screen as you move between different programs, so you can keep your thoughts organized as you multi-task.]]>
