Imagine how much more profit you could generate and time you could save if you had dozens of prewritten e-mail templates at your beck and call --just one click away! If you are using Outlook 2000 (or XP and higher), then get ready to be blown away when you see how you can turn it into a high-powered, nearly automatic marketing and operations-enhancing tool.

This month’s “Ask Mr. Internet!” article is the first of a three-part series that shares the step-by-step secrets of how to create, save, organize, and effectively use e-mail templates. Keep in mind these templates can be pre-configured to automatically include the subject line, CC: & BCC: addresses, the message, and any number of attachments you desire.

PART I will focus on creating text-only e-mail templates and how to organize them for quick, one-click access. Just go to: Ask Mr. Internet - October 2002.
