The Purpose of Hyperlinks in Email
Say for example that you have a potential client and you need them to view your website. While you can simply write the websites name or even write down the URL for instance ‘www.appuals.com’. But as you can see, you cannot click this link right now as it has not been linked to the website. This means that I or any reader will have to copy this URL for the website or type it entirely from scratch on a browser (which by the way could have a lot of chances of misspellings). Now the point here is to save your and my time using hyperlinks. Now if I was composing an email, and if I could have done this, www.appuals.com instead of www.appuals.com, it would have saved so much time for all of us right? All you have to do is click the link in the article instead of copying or typing it on a new browser.
