...Business To Business Messages Karen Bennett Comm/470 July 30, 2011 Dr. Eckstone Business To Business Messages Business to business messages can be communicated through electronic mailing also known as email or memos. Emails and memos are the most widely used type of written communication (Roebuck & McKenney, 2006). The difference between an email and a memo is that memos are used for communication within an organization (Roebuck & McKenney, 2006). Emails should include salutations and closings since they are used to communicate outside of an organization. Emails and memos are used to request information, reinforce agreements, clarify previous messages, or deliver short reports about daily problems (Roebuck & McKenney, 2006). A business to business message should follow the communication process. It includes a description of the purpose, sender, receiver, message, environment, technology, noise, and feedback. Characteristics of an email or memo should have a clear subject line, conversational tone, proper organization of the message, conciseness, signposting, and care taken in expressing emotion (Roebuck & McKenney, 2006). The purpose of writing the email should be clear. The subject line tells the recipient the purpose of the message (Roebuck & McKenney, 2006). It can be the most important part of the message because it may determine if an individual will open the email or not (Roebuck & McKenney, 2006). The message should be read aloud to see...

...Persuasive Message Contained in the following is an analysis of how to use and write electronic-commerce messages and messages on paper, to communicate directly, indirectly and how to write persuasive messages. Many occupations require you to persuade others to buy-in, participate, support, or sell an idea or product. The receiver of the message must view you as creditable and respect your ideas.

Electronic commerce, electronic trailing, and electric business are the marketing of selling merchandise on the Internet. According to Schappell, D., 2000, “E-tailing began to work for some major corporations and smaller entrepreneurs as early as 1997 when Dell Computer reported multimillion dollar orders taken at its Web site. The success of Amazon.com hastened the arrival of Barnes and Noble's e-tail site. Concerns about secure order taking receded. Nineteen ninety seven was also the year in which Auto-by-Tel reported that they had sold their millionth car over the Web, and Commerce Net/Nielsen Media reported that 10 million people had made purchases on the Web. Jupiter research predicted that e-tailing would grow to $37 billion by 2002.” Electronic commerce is broken down into five categories, business-to business (B2B), business-to-consumer (B2C), consumer-to-business (C2B), consumer-to-consumer (C2C), government-to-employee (G2E). ...
