How To Add A BCC To An Outlook E-Mail
Have you ever noticed that you can see all the recipients of any e-mail that you receive? What happens if you would rather that was not the case when you send an e-mail? If you have an e-mail to send out and would prefer for everyone receiving it not to know all the recipients, the Bcc (blind carbon copy) function is here to help.
Below we have an easy to follow guide which will show you how to Bcc people into the e-mail you wish to send.
If you add a recipient’s name to the Bcc box in an email message, a copy of the message is sent to the recipient that you specify. Any recipients added to the Bcc box will not be shown to any other recipients who receive the message.
Outlook for Windows
After you turn on the Bcc box, it appears every time you create a message until it’s turned off. The option to turn on the Bcc field can be found in two locations, depending on whether you are composing a new message or replying to or forwarding a message.
- Create a new email message or reply to or forward an existing message.
- If the message you’re composing opens in a new window, select Options > Bcc.
If the message you’re composing opens in the Reading Pane, select Bcc from the ribbon.
- In the Bcc box, add recipients, compose the message, and choose Send when done.
Turn off Bcc
You can turn off the Bcc box for future messages at any time.
- Create a new email message or reply to or forward an existing message.
- If the message you’re composing opens in a new window, select Options > Bcc.
If the message you’re composing opens in the Reading Pane, select Bcc from the ribbon.
Note: The background colour distinguishes between the Bcc button being turned on or turned off. A dark background means the button is turned on, and a light background means it’s turned off.
View Bcc recipients
If you’re the recipient of a message, you can’t see whether the sender added Bcc recipients. Only the sender of a message can see the names of Bcc recipients by opening a message in the Sent Items folder where all sent messages are stored by default.
- In the Sent Items folder, open the message that you sent.
- In the Reading Pane, view the header section of the message.
Outlook for Mac

Are You Posting Through GMB?
There can be little doubt that Google My Business (GMB) offers one of the most powerful tools in the local SEO arsenal and is a great way to improve online visibility.
If you are a business which places great importance on its local area, ensuring you have a verified GMB profile should be the very first step that you take to maximise your online presence. So long as you comply with Google’s guidelines, your GMB profile will provide free (for the moment!) exposure on Google’s search engine so why wouldn’t you do it???
Not only will potential customers receive an easy access to key snippets of information like your name, address and phone number, they will also be able to see any images you post, any reviews that are left and a whole host of other snippets of relevant information, all without even needing to visit your website.
Does GMB help with local rankings?
Not only is your GMB Profile easily visible to potential customers when they search on Google, but Google My Business is also a key Google local ranking factor. In fact, according to local ranking factor industry research, Google My Business “signals” is the most important ranking factor for local pack rankings. Google My Business signals had a significant increase in ranking importance between 2017 and 2018 — rising from 19% to 25%.

Please Note – It’s crucial to ensure that someone regularly logs into your GMB dashboard. Google will often very helpfully (not always!!) try to make subtle updates to your listing in an effort to increase its accuracy. However, these auto-generated updates are not always as accurate as you would like and it’s important that you are aware of these to allow you to opt-out of adding information which is incorrect to your profile.
Is claiming my listing enough?
Claiming your Google My Business profile is, without doubt, the first and most important step. Don’t stop there though! The option to publish posts through the dashboard can play a crucial role in helping to communicate with your potential customers and keep your profile fresh and up to date.

Apps are the new face of eCommerce in the UK. The good news is that apps can be more cost-effective and cloud-friendly compared to many other current alternatives.

The Future of E-Commerce
Research carried out by IMRG and Capgemini in 2015*, found that mobile commerce accounts for 51% of all eCommerce sales in the UK. Moreover, data from a report published by Yodel shows that 76% of consumers in the UK purchase their Christmas presents online. Most of these sales occur via dedicated apps, meaning the development of your own app can offer a cost-effective way of boosting revenues while growing brand reaches at the same time. Businesses that fail to take advantage of this opportunity risk losing their market share to competitors who have invested in mobile commerce.
