The power of plain English

If you improved the clarity of your emails, web pages, letters, reports, leaflets and forms you could save thousands of pounds this year. If those documents aren't as clear as they could be, you could be losing money and customers - year after year. It is as simple as that. Have you ever thought about how much time your people spend communicating: with each other, with customers, with prospective customers? How many messages do they produce in a day, a week, a year?

Do your communications carry the plain English approved logo?

Many of these messages are vital to your organisation. The most important ones are those that go to customers, prospective customers and the world at large. You are judged by these - and bad writing will lose you business. (Of course, if your customers have to deal with you, perhaps because you are a local council or government organisation, you will lose their goodwill and respect. Even worse, you may deter them from using a service or claiming a benefit that they are entitled to.)
