Email Tips


Would you like to hear some email tips? You have probably seen BCC before many times, and were wondering what this abbreviation stands for. By using BCC, you can send your email to many people without them knowing who the other recipients are. Whereas CC stands for Carbon Copy, BCC is a abbreviation for Blind Carbon Copy. As using CC enables other people to see who else received a message, there are many advantages of using BCC over CC:

  • You might not want the others to know what the email addresses of your recipients are. Since we live in a world where many people consider it a full time job to obtain email addresses of others for commercial purposes, it might be a lot safer thing to do.
  • For some reason you might not want to reveal to how many people you are sending an email.
  • Your recipients might not be happy that you shared their email address with others. They have the right to, and I am sure that they would appreciate that you respect their wishes.
  • If you are a company, sending emails using BCC looks more professional, as you should not reveal information about your customers.

    • Overall, Blind Carbon Copy ensures privacy of your recipients, so in many situations this will be the biggest advantage of using it. Remember to have a reliable email service so that you will always be able to respond to emails.
