 I use Outlook and many...Submitted by David Scrimshaw (not verified) on August 27, 2006 - 9:35am.
I use Outlook and many of my friends use it also because it is what their workplace makes them use. When I’m inviting friends to a social event, instead of sending a normal email with the details, I create an appointment in the Calendar and use “Invite Attendees”. The main benefit of inviting people this way is the dramatic increase in the response rate. Outlook’s default settings generally forces recipients to click “accept”, “refuse” or “tentative” when they get a new appointment. They can’t just read it and forget about RSVPing. A secondary benefit is that the event gets put in their Outlook Calendar and they get a reminder about the event. » POSTED IN:
