A filter will allow the automatic saving of an
email based on sender, subject or even a specific word or words to a created folder. This
will un-clutter the inbox and what is left would be emails that you need to focus on. An
example would be emails from a certain supplier. When you set up a filter and a rule based
on the supplier’s email address, the email will be saved to the folder created for that
supplier. You will know that the supplier has an email for you immediately. No more need to
scroll the inbox email list. When you know that the supplier email is a product

announcement only then you can just leave it for later and attend to more important emails
such as customer questions or inquiries.
Use an auto-archive for emails
Gmail provides the best solution when you want an email system that allows you to
organize your mails. They really do very well with labels so that you can apply labels to
certain emails. They have a very efficient rule setting system that can automatically archive
emails that have particular labels. You could also do this with folders on Apple Mail and
various other ways with different email software.
Automatic forward and archiving
When you get invoices and receipts, you can archive them into folders and check at a later
date. If you have an Accounting section, you can
set a rule to have these emails forwarded to the Automatic forwarding and
section for record keeping or action. This will free archiving of emails can free

the email like “invoice” or “receipt” is not a very
tedious thing to do.

inbox. By placing these emails on the appropriate folder, you are sure that there will be no
need to search for them at a later time.

Only critical business emails in the inbox
Emails that do not need to be acted upon immediately can be archived. The key here is for
you to see those important, business-related emails at once and that could be acted upon at
the soonest possible time.
The key is to see important,
What you want to do is reach a point where only
emails coming into your inbox are the ones that
business-related emails in
will help you grow your business. Things like the inbox immediately for
customer requests, customer questions and proper action
orders and things that are necessary for you to
keep the business growing. You want to have everything else being archived for later. Or,
you can simply unsubscribe from the emails that you don’t need and make sure they don’t
get those coming from your inbox at all.
Setting up is worth it
Setting up may take some minutes and fine tuning is needed until the system will run
smoothly. Your time spent configuring the filter will be worth it because this will save you
time every day for the rest of the year. This is a good practice and a return on investment in
terms of time.
Why Gmail is the preferred email service
There are some reasons why Gmail is recommended to most businesses:
1. Cloud Service
This means that the emails are not saved on your PC or laptop but on their servers.
You can get online from any place in the
world and when you access Gmail, the Gmail has a more effective

even on your phone while travelling or
from home when there is something services
urgent.
If your computer dies, it means that you don’t lose your emails at the same time.
You simply need to get a new computer, open up the internet and all your emails are
there. So you never lose those emails and sometimes it is very important to keep all
those emails.

Cloud Service will allow you to see
pertinent files wherever you are and
manage them as well.
This is great if you have several computers where you have several employees
working on the same document. It’s live and they can work on it and it gets
automatically updated so there’s never going to be issues with who saved what.
3. Spam Filter
The other thing that is great with Gmail is that they have fantastic spam filter. I get
very little spam coming into my inbox and then they also have the ability to add
different labels to different invoices and this can be done automatically using rules.
So you can have all emails from certain suppliers or certain people getting
automatically labelled with a certain label which archives it into a folder. Or you can
have them automatically forwarded on to someone else. So using these filters and
rules is really very powerful way to keep your inbox clear.
4. Search Your Own Emails
Because Gmail is part of the Google system, it has a very efficient search facility. You
can search for an email based on sender, subject or a word or group of words. The
email system will return a list of all emails that have the search category.
How your website can help save time
Your website can help to save hours from answering emails from customers over and over
again. It is important to have a Frequently Answered Questions page so that customers can
check the entries and can find answers. One other method is to add answers or more
information on the parked pages or service pages of the website.
