![]() ![]() “What you do has far greater impact than what you say.” –? Have you ever received an email over the weekend or on vacation and felt like you had to reply? This closer is brilliant as it gives permission to the recipient to hold off on replying until the reader is “back in the office.” This closer relieves the stress of replying to weekend and vacation emails while recognizing that these sorts of emails may be necessary to send/receive outside of weekday working hours. UNLESS AN URGENT MATTER, PLEASE DO NOT FEEL OBLIGATED TO RESPOND TO THIS EMAIL IF YOU ARE ON VACATION OR IT IS THE WEEKEND That said, with time, once recipients of this closer are trained and aware of the convention, this closer can be a powerful tool to focus productivity during the workday. Personally, I am not sure it would work for me given some emails are urgent while others can wait. I like this convention as it makes crystal clear when the user of this closer will look at the note. This closer alerts recipients when the sender has set time aside to review and respond to emails and provides an escalation process in the event someone needs to reach this person outside of those timeframes. Set a Response Schedule and Escalation ProcedureĮMail Schedule: 8am, 11am, 4pm eastern (M-F) My personal worry with this technique is I would miss something crucial where I was included as an FYI at least until senders were trained to include me in the “To” line for an expedited response. When employed, I think the trick to this convention is to make sure one finds time to review the CC archive. It also prevents distraction from over-copying this person in “reply-to-all” threads. I like this convention as it cuts through the noise of a large inbox. This closer makes it clear to the receiver that the sender gets a lot of emails and uses rules to prioritize those communications where he/she is included in the “To” line. #SIGNATURE CLOSERS ARCHIVE#PLEASE NOTE DUE TO THE VOLUME OF EMAILS, I ARCHIVE THOSE WHERE I AM CC’D AND REVIEW ONLY PERIODICALLY. In honor of the 4th of July, I have collected four interesting “email closers” compiled over the past few months. These closers add a personal touch and convey something unique about sender. Recently I have noticed an increase in creative use of interesting “closers” in the email signatures I receive. While most people use email signatures to communicate relevant company and contact information, many use this digital real estate to convey campaigns or include key messages. ![]() #SIGNATURE CLOSERS FREE#In his free time, John enjoys live music, deep sea fishing, and golfing.Email signatures have become a common business communication convention these days.
