You need to take your business emails seriously. Sending spam, jokes and chain mail feeds the perception you are unprofessional. Always keep your business emails, especially to multiple addresses, business related. This will help your business appear professional and reputable.
Considerations
-
Use the BCC field when communicating with multiple companies, customers or employees who do not know each other. They may not want their information shared with other people on the list. Use the CC field when it requires everyone on the email to be on the same page in the discussion.
Use common courtesy. The use of "Hello," "Good Day," "Sincerely" and other greetings and salutations should appear in your emails. Also, exercise grammatical correctness. Always use full sentences, and avoid all caps or all lower case and text talk, like LOL and smiley faces.

Size

One common mistake is attaching a huge document that fills up an inbox. It is best to give the recipient advance notice of this attachment and ask if he has access to that program. For example, if it is a PowerPoint presentation, do not send if your recipient does not have PowerPoint.
Time Frame
-
Always reply to emails in a timely manner. When replying to emails addressed to multiple people, avoid using the "Reply to All" button. Reply only to the pertinent people.
