Create an Email Template in Your Gmail account to easily answer recurring questions or sending recurring messages

I was reading an e-newsletter, similar to that one on https://marketingletter.com/, the other day that talked about setting up email templates in Gmail and it caught my eye as just an hour earlier, I had typed out an email I’ve sent at least 40 different times this year.

Sometimes I’m smart enough to copy and paste an email into Google Docs so I can use it when needed, but I didn’t realize Gmail had an option to save email templates and use them. I see this beneficial for media advisers for lots of different reasons like:

• Replying to someone who is asking when yearbooks are going to be distributed.
• Replying to someone who wants to know how to buy a yearbook or how to see if they have purchased one.
• Sending emails to advertisers so they can review the ad that is scheduled to run.
• Sending out a monthly email to school staff letting them know newspaper distribution will be taking place before school.
• Replying to a parent who wants to know why yearbooks aren’t distributed in the spring.

The list could go on and on, but I’ll stop there. After reading that piece I went ahead and easily created an email template that I’m sure I’ll use frequently. It will be the first of many I have a feeling I will create. I’m not sure all email clients have this as an option, but gmail does so give it a look if you find yourself typing out the same message frequently.

Here’s the info from Gmail on how to create your own.
