A professional approach
Poor grammar is one of the reasons why customers avoid certain
companies.
When users visit your website and read poorly constructed
sentences, the initial impression would be that the site and the
company behind it are not trustworthy.
7. First impressions matter
First impression is last impression
Good spelling, correct grammar and the appropriate use
of punctuation will give them more confidence in the
person (or the company) communicating with them.
8. Good reputation
Similarly, clients and suppliers are more likely to trust a
company that communicates clearly and correctly.
The use of proper grammar will help maintain your
business’ credibility and reputation as a professional.
9. "Your grammar is a reflection of
your image. Good or bad, you have
made an impression. And like all
impressions, you are in total
control."
