How do you make your email look professional?

Question

So, I receive tons of emails everyday and some of them I send immediately to spam. Why? Because they look unprofessional - when it for example begins with "Dear Sir" or contains a list of links, etc.

I also pay attention to who sends the email - if it is a corporate email, or whether they have email signature where I can check their role, social media accounts, website link, logo.

That is why, when I send emails I want make sure they look professional. 
For me, a branded email signature is a must.

And what is important for you in the emails and how do you make your emails look professional?

@elif_sahinduran yeah, plus it's convinient to follow the link in their email signature and visit their website or social media channels. In this way, I also check if those sites are live and deserve any of my attention.

Answer

I also tend to look out for the sender- if it is personal or a corporate email. What makes an email look professional could be good editing, use of correct words and also keeping it to the point.

Answer

Subject Line. Should be to the point and defined.

@clare_shears so, the tool is basically for newsletters. What about the regular everyday emails? How do you make those look professional?

Anna Chen · Answer

Concise subject is very important, as well as the content of the email, please do not insert too many pictures and other content except the text to be expressed, it must be added to identify the product logo.
