Email systems are notorious for sending messages to “la la land,” never to be heard from again. And, email viruses are continually running rampant and wreaking havoc. So, if you’re worried that your message didn’t arrive, you have a valid concern.

How can you verify that someone received your message without using the return receipt function and running the risk of offending the person? What other options are available to ensure your message was received?

If you think your message didn’t arrive because you haven’t received a response in a reasonable amount of time, try sending another message. Here’s the “magic trick.” Make it clear that the only purpose of this second correspondence is to confirm receipt of the first message.

Example

Here are a few examples of a second message you can send to verify an email was received.

Sample One (Informal tone):
“I’m not trying to rush you. I simply want to verify that you received my message.”

Sample Two (More formal tone):

“Please verify receipt of this message now. I look forward to your response to the inquiry at a later time.”

Note: The purpose of these examples is to provide you with sample wording. Be sure to put the message in your own words.

Example

As a writer, I send a lot of messages to magazine editors. They’re notorious for two things: 1) changing their email addresses; and 2) not responding to correspondence.

So, I’m often in a quandary when I don’t receive a response to my correspondence. Did the editor not receive my proposal? Is the editor simply not interested? It’s a difficult situation.

In most cases, I’ll send a second message to verify receipt. Let me share the results of follow-up messages I sent to three people.

In two instances, the recipients hadn’t received my original message. In these cases, they thanked me for following up and for re-sending my proposal. (And, they both bought articles!)

In the third instance, the person had received my original message. I received a curt reply telling me to “be more patient.” He was clearly irritated.

The point of this example is – this isn’t an exact science. There are no clearly defined answers to the issue of verifying receipt of an email message. You have to use good judgment and analyze each situation in order to use email more effectively.

Genius Marketing Disguised as a Good Message

The Dove marketing campaign called Real Beauty is an inspiring message to all women to love the beauty of their natural curve and figure.

The Dove marketing campaign called Real Beauty is an inspiring message to all women to love the beauty of their natural curve and figure. It is a campaign like no other before it in the sense that it uses real women. Dove held a casting call for women of all shapes, sizes, and colors to find proper representatives of Real Beauty. They needed to select a number of real women to be the models for their soap, hair, and skin products. The women range from short skinny “flat-chest” women to tall shapely women with thick thighs. The efforts of the campaign are to get women of all walks of life to see and value their real beauty and not strive for some unobtainable structure which years of advertisement and pressure of society has brain washed women to achieve. This revolutionary move in advertisement has struck a chord with women everywhere and is incredibly effective.

Let's remember that Dove sells soap, conditioner, and lotions. Dove encouragement to appreciate your real beauty steals sales from women who would cover up blemishes with make up to buy Dove facial soaps and moisturizers. Women who would burn their hair in salons with highlights and chemicals are now motivated to use Dove shampoo and conditioner to revitalize their hair and keep natural. Dove's message speaks so intimately to women that they almost feel obligate to be faithful consumers. Dove so fully compliments women it is an incredibly seductive campaign, but it is packaged as caring and thoughtful. Dove is comparable to the dirt bag friend that a boyfriend can't trust, because the second there is a fight in the couple the friend is there to comfort and hold the poor pain inflicted female.

It can be that after years of such under handed tricks and cheap gimmicks that consumers have become callus and cynical to the point of not buying into Dove's campaign. There is something about that white background and light blue dainty writing that seems pure, believable, and comforting though. Still, genuine or not the campaign is absolute genius. The campaign gives Dove a conscience which the general public can even consider a soul. This separates dove from all of the spiritless soap suppliers like Caress and Irish Spring.

Despite the possibility that Dove's campaign could be a scheme to out sell other hygiene product labels it is still a much needed message to today's women. Hearing the message from teachers, friends, and mothers is never as comforting as seeing it in a magazine or on television. Seeing is believe for most of today's public; and for a young shapely girl to see someone as pear shaped as her on television and a beacon of beauty then she too can be a new standard of beauty. Of course in order to best present and preserve her beauty she must use Dove products, but at least she isn't pigeon holed into a unfavorable category of appearance. In reality women buy such products to be able to love themselves more, so why not buy something that fluffs your ego.

Printed packaging tapes can be stock tapes that carry standard messages like FRAGILE, or can be custom printed with your own message. A custom printed packaging tape can act as your brand ambassador during the transit of the package.

Just take adequate care to ensure that both the tape material and printing are good quality. Sub-standard tapes and printing can destroy your image, making people feel that you do not care for quality.

Ordering Custom Printed Packaging Tape

Select a packaging tape that is tailored to your packaging needs. Different kinds of tapes are needed for different types of packages. For example lightweight or heavyweight, single-wall or multi-wall, plain or corrugated, etc packages need packaging tapes of different strengths and adhesive quality.

Packaging tapes can be made from paper, vinyl, PVC, polypropylene or blends. Each has its own characteristics and strengths. The glue used can also differ in the speed and strength of adhesion, and suitability for different surfaces. You have to understand these differences to choose the right kind of packaging tape to meet your needs.

Get the tape custom printed with your company logo, name and contact details at the minimum. Custom printed packaging tapes can also carry additional short promotional messages if they are wide enough. Do the whole thing in a tasteful manner so that your brand image is enhanced, not damaged.

If you do not have the design expertise in-house, you can take the design services offered by suppliers of custom printed packaging tapes. With their experience, they can suggest a design that is tailored to the specifications of the tape.

The printing can be done not only on the outer surface of the tape, but also on the inside surface of the tubing that holds the tape. While this message will not go with the package, it might serve other purposes, as when you give plain packaging tape rolls as corporate gifts. More typically, it is the tape supplier who uses this space to remind the customer that it was they who supplied the high quality tape.

The Packaging Tape Real Estate

Marketing oriented companies will not let the packaging tape real estate go waste. With widths of 2 or 3 inches, and printable surfaces, packaging tapes offer a good medium for conveying your brand-building and business-promotional messages.

Several people will see the message on the custom printed packaging tape during its transit. Make them notice your message, through appropriate design, including the message itself, the background, the print quality and other elements.

Conclusion

The packaging tape used to secure your packages during their transit is a good medium for your advertising messages. Custom printed packaging tapes can act as brand ambassadors of your company with their tasteful design and quality materials and printing.

Packaging tapes must suit the packages. Thus heavyweight packages need stronger tape materials and adhesives. And the advertising message has to suit the selected tape. Clear, narrow tapes require a design that is quite different from one required by a 3 inch wide paper packaging tape.
