Keywords - Important in emails too!

The Importance of Keywords in Emails

You never know when your email is going to be the key trigger for a future success. The email you send or receive today may be of key importance tomorrow. It is essential not only to group your emails, but also to have relevent keywords in the subject line for quick retrieval.

Make your emails easily recognisable when people are searching for the topic. Remember when you send multiple emails, to change the subject line if your subject of conversation changes, or add slight changes in topic in parenthesis after the main subject.

Dont be afraid to save the same email message in different folders if they apply. For instance an email from Express eMedia on affordable business cards might be be filed under your "Express eMedia" folder AND "resources" folder.

There are now many programs (ie Taglocity for Outlook) that help you tag important emails.
