Sensitive data leaks are too common in the headlines these days, and there is no need to waste space explaining why it is essential to secure your sensitive information.

Sending an encrypted email message is the need of the hour for business or professional practice and Outlook encryption is the best possible solution available in the market.

This blog will discuss how to send a secure email or encrypted email in Outlook. Before discussing that, let's first talk about Microsoft Outlook.

Optimise Your Email Delivery Systems To Improve Your Marketing Return
Email marketing is the most cost-effective form of marketing for most businesses, offering unparalleled return on investment (ROI). Especially for consumer-focused businesses, newsletters have never been more important than they are now
You've put the time in to test email subject lines and links, you've engaged a writer for creative copy, and you have a well-designed template. But you're not seeing the returns you hoped for.

If your emails are blocked before they even reach your audience, the investment you've already made is going to waste. The scariest thing might be that you are unaware that your messages are going to junk.

By optimising your delivery systems, your chances of click-throughs are much higher - and that results in higher engagement and, ultimately, higher sales.

Your Buyers Are Evolving, And You Should Follow
Putting the buyer at the heart of businesses' go-to-market strategies entails understanding the buyer's needs, behaviours, and aspirations
Collecting and acting on buyer insights cannot stop at the go-to-market strategy; it has to be baked across the whole revenue engine, from marketing to sales and customer success. Forrester's 2021 B2B Buying Study revealed enormous shifts in buyer behaviour. Marketers need to understand how their buyers are changing and enable their buyer-facing roles with key insights to gain competitive advantage and drive growth. Here are some key elements that you will need to understand in order to plan a winning strategy.
