  • The benefits of an intranet to business

    What is Intranet?
    Intranet is a network based on the Internet that is accessed by the employees of an organization. An Intranet provides easy access to internal files and documents to the various employees of the organization, from their individual workstations. Sharing of data, made possible through the Intranet, not only helps in saving time of employees, but also allows employees from various levels to access data. It also contributes to a paperless office.

    Benefits of Intranet
    Most of today’s modern businesses are adopting intranet technology due its competitive advantages in dealing with the corporate information essential for any business.

    Communication: Intranet is extremely useful for communication and collaboration between the employees for successful functioning of any business organization. Intranet provides this to businesses in the form of tools like discussion groups, Intranet forms, and bulletin boards. Using intranet tools help in conveying and distributing necessary information or documents among the employees of an organization. This results in easy communication and sound relationship between the employees and top level management. Today, many business houses working on projects use intranet tools, discussion forms, chats, emails, electronic bulletin boards, etc. that help in communicating between different departments of an organization.

  • 5 Tips to Increase Your Email Deliverability

    Among the biggest concerns for permission email marketers today are email bounces, spam filters and blacklists – all of which affect email deliverability.

    ISPs and corporate domains are battling a huge spam problem. In fact, some reports suggest that more than 50% of all email is spam. To combat this problem and keep spam out of their users’ inboxes, ISPs and corporate domains have been forced to employ various email blocking and filtering techniques. As a result, a spam filter could bounce your legitimate, permission-based email back to you, or your mail server might be flagged as a potential spam source. In either case, your messages won’t make it through to the intended recipient. In the industry, we call this a “false positive.”

    Your email deliverability is important because customer acquisition is expensive, and undeliverable emails could mean the loss of customers and prospects that you paid dearly to acquire. Since it is fifteen times less expensive to market to an existing customer than it is to acquire a new one, your efforts to understand and decrease your email bounces – no matter why the bounce occurred – will be well worth your time.

    There is a lot you can do to make sure your permission-based email gets delivered:

    1. Become a Trusted Sender
    2. Understand email filters
    3. Analyze your bouncebacks
    4. Monitor your ‘reply to’ address
    5. Use a reputble email marketing service.
