Greetings, iam Sally Gibson, Promise me you’ll have a good time.
Man, it feels like I’ve been dealing with years’ worth of emails! Between work, personal accounts, and all the other stuff that comes in my inbox, it’s a never-ending battle. But I’m determined to stay on top of things and make sure nothing slips through the cracks. Here’s to tackling those emails one by one!
How Many Years Of Emails Should You Keep? [Solved]
Wow, there sure are a lot of email retention laws in the US! The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) applies to federal, state and local agencies and requires them to store emails for 3 years. Sarbanes Oxley Act (SOX) applies to all public companies and they must keep emails for 7 years. And DOD contractors have to follow Department of Defense Regulations which require them to store emails for 3 years. Phew! That’s a lot of info - but it’s important stuff so make sure you know the rules!
Yearly Email Check-In: Send an email to your contacts once a year to check in and see how they are doing. This is a great way to stay connected and build relationships with your contacts.
Quarterly Newsletter: Send out a quarterly newsletter that includes updates on what you’ve been up to, new products or services, and any other relevant information that would be of interest to your contacts.
Monthly Promotions: Use emails as an opportunity to promote special offers or discounts for your products or services on a monthly basis. This will help keep customers engaged and encourage them to make purchases from you more often.
Weekly Tips & Tricks: Share helpful tips and tricks related to the products or services you offer in weekly emails so customers can get the most out of their purchase from you.
Daily Inspiration: Send daily inspirational quotes, stories, or images that will motivate people throughout their day and remind them why they chose your business in the first place!
Years of emails can really pile up! I mean, it’s crazy how quickly they add up. Before you know it, you’ve got thousands of ’em clogging up your inbox. It’s a good idea to go through and delete the ones you don’t need every now and then - otherwise, who knows what kind of mess you’ll be in?
