How I Make Everyday Emails More Fun

Did you know the average person spends between 12 and 28 hours per week responding to emails? I feel  depressed just reading that sentence. As you know, I’m all about making emails more enjoyable to write — and read — and now I'm going to share my favourite tips to do just that. This also works from a branding or tone of voice point of view, because it means your everyday emails will feel more conversational, more lighthearted and more approachable … so it’s perfect if that’s how you want your brand to sound. 

In this episode, I cover: 

• Writing click-baity subject lines
• What to say instead of "hope you're well!" 
• Finding common ground with the person you're emailing 
• Preparing an elevator pitch (with pizazz) 
• Tips on avoiding jargon and fluff words
• My thoughts on using GIFs
• Coming up with a more creative email sign-off 
• Adding surprises to delight your reader
• Writing a killer auto response email
