When emailing a small group, think carefully about whether to use CC or BCC. CC (Carbon Copy) shares everyone’s addresses with the whole group—fine when all recipients know each other. BCC (Blind Carbon Copy) keeps addresses private, which looks more professional and avoids reply-all headaches. As a business owner, using BCC shows you value your clients’ privacy and prevents accidental oversharing.
Why BCC and not CC when emailing to a small group?
