Send an effective reminder email to set your meetings up for success. Read on to find out how.
Meetings are a core part of how we do business. But between no-shows and last-minute cancellations, appointment scheduling can be a hassle. Make your meetings happen by writing the best reminder emails possible. 📧
Need inspiration? We’ve gathered a few reminder email examples, tips, and templates to help you out.
What Is a Reminder Email?
A reminder email is a message you send to get someone to take action. Send reminder emails for due dates, late payments, and missed deadlines. Or, use reminder emails to confirm attendance at appointments and upcoming events. 📅
A well-written reminder email is the perfect way to make sure your meetings happen. Use them to reduce no-shows and cancellations. When it comes to upholding meetings, a friendly reminder email goes a long way.
How to Write a Meeting Reminder Email
To write a meeting reminder email, check that your message has the following:
- An attention-grabbing subject line. 🚨 Reminder email subject lines should catch your recipient’s attention. Try to prompt them to take action. When in doubt, start your subject line with words like “reminder” or “follow-up.”
- Clear email copy. 📧 When it comes to meeting reminder messages, clear copy is a must. Be as specific as possible about your dates and deadlines. Write any request as a call to action. This will help avoid confusion and set your meetings up for success.
- A polite email greeting and sign-off. 👋 Always start and end your reminder email with a friendly tone. Your salutation and sign-off might be more casual depending on the context. But always follow basic email etiquette to keep your message professional.
