Email: Possibly the First Impression of Your Business

Today, email is the most common form of written communication used in offices. The typical business email user sends and receives over 100 messages each day and writers need skill and a strategy to ensure the message gets through.

It is easy to misinterpret what a writer is saying. Not only what you're saying, but typos, grammar and punctuation all play a part in what could be the "first impression" of your business.
Learn the "do's and don'ts" of professional email, as well as writing and design tips in this 3 hour workshop.

Date: Tuesday, July 10, 2018
Time: 9:00 am - Noon
Cost: Complimentary; Regular $99.00+GST
