Although there are several ways to share files, attaching documents directly to messages offers multiple benefits that can improve communication with your customers and optimize your internal processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Email marketing with attachments vs. traditional mail<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cost<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sending a letter by postal mail can triple the cost of a message with attachments (weight 1MB) via email, not to mention that this value varies greatly depending on the distance. In addition, email marketing eliminates associated costs such as printing, paper and logistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traceability<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the tracking of a postal shipment depends on periodic updates made by a postal official, the traceability of an email shipment is done in real time. You can know exactly when it was delivered and whether the recipient opened it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speed<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A traditional shipment can take days to arrive, especially if it is out of town or out of the country. Email delivery, on the other hand, occurs in a matter of minutes, allowing for almost instant communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deliverability<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deliverability of a letter is relative, because even if it arrives at the destination address, it may not reach the right person. An email message goes directly to the specific recipient's inbox, ensuring more accurate delivery metrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Communication channel<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Email has established itself as a preferred communication channel for users, enabling efficient two-way interaction between companies and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carbon footprint<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditional paper-based mailings have a significant environmental impact, increasing your company's carbon footprint. Email marketing significantly reduces this footprint, aligning with sustainable business practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the best alternative for sending documentation via email?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When opting for email to send critical documentation, there are two main modalities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Insert links<\/strong> in the body of the message for the recipient to access the document.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Direct attachment of files<\/strong> to email.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Links vs. attachments<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Security<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Inserting links can be risky, as hackers can use them to redirect to malicious sites, impersonating your company's identity (phishing<\/em>) or by inserting malware (spoofing<\/em>). Attaching files directly is recognized as a more secure way of delivering documents, which avoids these risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Infrastructure<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Links require a complex support infrastructure, with duplicate or triplicate repositories to ensure document availability, which can be costly. Attachments, on the other hand, require no additional infrastructure and simplify the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Backup<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Maintaining backups of documents sent via links involves high storage and maintenance costs. Attaching files directly to email facilitates the management and storage of these documents, especially for companies that handle large volumes of information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
