Email

2. What Can I Do with Email?

2.1 You can compose and send plain text messages in seconds, within the office or to suppliers and customers.

• A quick email is often better than a phone or voicemail message, especially for content involving names, prices, specifications or detailed information.

2.2 Documents and other files can be attached to a message and sent at the same time.

• You can attach any word processed documents, such as reports, contracts and formal letters. This means you can keep the original formatting.
• You can also use email to transfer database files, layouts and images, quickly and cheaply.

2.3 Marketing information of all kinds can be distributed immediately at virtually no cost.

2.4 Use email to automate simple processing.

• Many diary systems use email to schedule meetings between users automatically.
• Stock information can be sent out instantly and automatically in reply to a sales person's query.

2.5 Keep up to date with news and views.

• Get a customised newspaper by email.
• Monitor or take part in email discussion groups about your markets or industry.
