Compose Emails Faster With Gmail's New Feature


Gmail compose email
Google is always constantly trying to expand its influence by introducing new features, while trying at the same time to improve upon those of its products that are popular. Hence we've seen a plethora of new tools and features being introduced across the Google-sphere in the recent past. And yesterday, we  were talking about this same thing that why Google cuts down on some of its products to give more space to its existing products. Today, we'll talk about a new feature recently introduced in Gmail, which allows you to compose emails much faster and easier.


We all love Gmail. It is one of the pioneers of the email industry, and a service that revolutionized the industry. Millions of people love, and use Gmail, mainly because its fast, secure, easy to use, and is app integrable, which means you can use third-party apps to make it more power and feature-rich (not that it isn't feature-rich by default). But still, Gmail is one of the best email services, and here is another reason why.

Compose and reply to emails quickly and easily

The new compose feature is a lot faster than before. Now, you can quickly compose and send you emails, and also reply to your emails just as quickly and easily.

Did you ever have to close the email you were typing out just to access some information in a previous email? Well this new compose function is here for you. It features a pop-up box, much like Facebook's chat. You can easily minimize or maximize it, and type your email into it.

You also have the option of composing multiple emails at once. And you can do a search for an email, or monitor your new emails without even closing the current email(s) you're typing.


“The new compose is designed to let you focus on what’s important: your message.” Google said. “The controls are still there when you need them but get out of the way when you don’t. We’ve even added some new features like the ability to easily insert inline images and have more to come.”

Google is also working on a feature that will let you see profile pictures of your contacts for easier selection, and to drag and drop them into the recipients' email.

“You can also drag and drop the new address chips between to:, cc: and bcc:,” Google added. “When you’re done adding recipients, the address area collapses automatically to get out of your way.”

How To Add Barcode and Redemption Code For Facebook Offers?




Yesterday, we talked about a latest marketing and advertising feature introduced by Facebook called Facebook Offers. Facebook Offers let you promote your brand or products by giving out rewards to people who visit your website or your brand's physical location (office, store etc). These rewards can be anything, from an ebook to a small gift hamper to an entry into a lucky draw for a larger prize. It is the next step in Facebook marketing, and you can be one of the first ones to make use of this feature. We have already talked about what Facebook Offers. Today, we'll talk about the different types of offers, and how to add Redeem codes or Barcodes for people to be able to redeem your offers.

Types of offers

There are three basic types of offers.
  • In Store Only - Can only be redeemed by visiting your brand's physical location (store, shop, office etc)
  • Online Only - Can only be redeemed by visiting your website
  • In Store and online - Can be redeemed both ways

For Online redemption, you will need a redeem code, which can't be used In Store Only. Similarly, barcode can only be used for In Store, and not online.

Adding a barcode to your offer

Barcodes can be added when you create an In Store offer. They can be scanned easily, and then used to redeem your promotion or discount offers. To add a barcode, click on the barcode icon ( ) once you've entered a headline for your offer.

Barcodes

Add a barcode here. You can enter a 12-digit Universal Product Code (UPC-A) barcode, or a 13-digit EAB barcode ( click here for the Wikipedia article on barcodes). Make sure you format the number properly. Preview the barcode to see how it looks, and make sure it is readable. Most smartphones nowadays can scan barcodes through the use of an app if they have a camera with focus. People will be able to scan this barcodes right from their smartphones.

Adding an online redemption code

Adding an online redemption code is easy, If you want people to enter a code on your website to receive a discount, then choose an Online option. Create your offer as discussed in the previous post.

Redemption Code

Enter the web address where people can get your offer, and add a redemption code (max 50 characters). Click Next, and you're done.

How does it work?

When someone claims your offer, they get an email with detailed instructions on how to redeem the offer, along with barcodes and/or redemption codes. They will also get your terms and conditions with the expiration date included.

(Please note that these barcodes and redeem codes aren't designed to prevent people from redeeming your offer multiple times)

Have any questions in mind? feel free to ask. We'll be obliged to help :)
