Making Contact through Email Alternatives

Your main Email account is probably like mine: clogged with spam that no filter can remove. It’s difficult to determine which messages are legitimate and which aren’t, especially when subject lines aren’t always used correctly.

Creating new Email accounts through other carriers is an option. However, solo and small business owners are turning to alternate means of online communication.

Business Week’s November 28th issue reports that many marketers are using instant messaging, wikis, and blogs to contact clients. These more immediate means of contact reduces the time it takes for two or more people to respond by Email. And you can immediately see who sent the message. That’s better than wading through spam.

These alternatives are free of charge, or at least built into the cost of Internet access. Setting up these new access points will allow you streamline customer contact and strengthen the marketing process.

    I agree that technology is moving so fast that it’s hard to keep up with new names and terminologies.

    It’s almost the end of 2005, and it’s anyone’s bet that another tool will be launched before year’s end that business owners should consider adding to their marketing plan.
