Here are 10 tips of computer graphics to help you use Gmail as a pro for your small business.
Activate Priority Inbox
You could receive 30, 50, 100 or more emails a day. By activating your priority inbox to see important messages first, you will not need to scroll through less important emails.
Using Tags
The use of color-coded labels allows you to label and assign e-mails that require your attention. This easy-to-use feature will make sure you do not forget this very important email that you must answer.
Using the To Do List
If you do not have time to process an e-mail that you have just opened, you can move it to the Tasks list. When you are ready, you do not need to search through all your emails. Just go to Tasks and you will find it there.
Protect your email address
You should always secure your email. You can encrypt the e-mail you send and, using Snapmail, you can configure it to self-destruct in 60 seconds.
Create a filter
You can create filters to identify the emails of a particular sender with the number of words, the date, the keywords and more. When you receive a message that meets the criteria, you can delete it or skip the inbox.
Learning Keyboard Shortcuts
The use of a mouse may seem effective, but it really is not compared to keyboard shortcuts. For example, when you open Gmail simply by pressing C, you can compose an e-mail. If you press R, you can answer and press K to switch to a new e-mail. You can see more shortcuts in the infographic below.
Using plug-ins
Gmail has many plug-ins. Everything from timers to management tools, security, and more can be added to enhance your Gmail experience.
Set Cancel Send
At one point, you probably shouted a few swear words after clicking on the send e-mail button. With Cancel Send, you can set a grace period of 5, 10, 20 or 30 seconds to recall the email so you can edit it.
Using the standardized response function
If you are in the middle of a particular marketing campaign, you could write the same emails multiple times with very few changes. By activating the Standard Answer function, you can save a lot of time.
Using Stars
Stars is another feature that helps you remember e-mails that interest you. You can assign different stars to indicate what e-mails mean to you.
