Email Best Practices

General Guidelines

✅ Do:

• Keep emails concise (aim for <300 words)

• Use clear, friendly language (avoid corporate jargon)

• Include specific dates and deadlines

• Provide context (why this survey matters)

• Show accountability (share results and actions)

• Thank participants genuinely

❌ Don't:

• Overwhelm with too much detail

• Use threatening language ("mandatory survey")

• Make promises you can't keep

• Share individual feedback (privacy violation)

• Launch campaigns without communication

Subject Line Tips

Good subject lines:

• "Help Us Improve: Your Feedback Matters" (clear, action-oriented)

• "5-Minute Survey: Procurement Experience" (time commitment upfront)

• "Thank You — Your Feedback Was Heard" (acknowledgment)

Bad subject lines:

• "Survey" (too vague, low open rates)

• "URGENT: Complete This Survey" (threatening, counterproductive)

• "RE: Procurement Feedback" (looks like a reply, confusing)

Personalisation Tips

Effective personalisation:

• Use first names in greetings ("Hi Sarah,")

• Reference specific context ("As a frequent procurement partner...")

• Segment messaging by audience (stakeholders vs. suppliers)

• Include relevant leader's signature (not generic "Procurement Team")

Over-personalisation pitfalls:

• Don't reference confidential information

• Avoid making people feel "watched"

• Don't assume too much familiarity

Customisation Instructions

For Pre-Campaign Announcements

1. Replace [Organisation Name] with your company name

2. Customise [Campaign Name] to match your ProcureValue campaign title

3. Adjust timing references (e.g., "in the next 2-3 days")

4. Add specific context relevant to your organisation

5. Include your signature block

For Results Sharing

1. Pull actual data from ProcureValue dashboard:

   • PVX score

   • Number of responses

   • Top strengths and weaknesses

2. Craft 2-3 specific, measurable actions

3. Assign owners and realistic timelines

4. Consider adding a visual summary (screenshot or PDF)

For Progress Updates

1. Track completion of committed actions

2. Include measurable outcomes (percentages, time savings, etc.)

3. Acknowledge what's taking longer than expected (honesty builds trust)

4. Add new initiatives sparked by the feedback

FAQ: Email Communication

"Should I send these emails from my own account?"

Yes, for pre/post-campaign emails.
Survey invitations are auto-sent by ProcureValue, but announcements and results should come from a real person (procurement leader, campaign sponsor).

"Can I customise the auto-sent survey invitation?"

Not in the current version. The system-generated invitation is standardised to ensure compliance and consistency.

Workaround: Send a personalised pre-announcement email to add your own context.

"How do I know who hasn't responded for reminders?"

You don't—and that's intentional. Reminders should go to everyone to protect anonymity. Use language like "If you've already responded, thank you!"

"Should I share the exact PVX score publicly?"

It depends on your culture.

Share the score if:

• Your organisation values transparency

• Leadership supports continuous improvement

• The score is defensible (not catastrophically low)

Keep it private if:

• Your organisation is highly political

• You're concerned about misinterpretation

• You want to socialise results with leadership first

Compromise: Share the score with context (trend, interpretation, action plan) rather than as a standalone number.
