DIFFERENT METHODS OF COMMUNICATION

              We are constantly using some or the other way of communication to deliver a message effectively. Choosing a right
              method will help us in building a strong-relationship with the people around us in our professional and personal lives.
              Some of the important methods of communication are verbal, non-verbal and visual communication. Let us learn
              about them in detail.

              Some of the important methods of communication are:
                                            •  Face-to-face  Informal Communication: It is  the most popular  form of verbal
                                              communication where the transmission of messages occurs when the sender and
                                              receiver are directly facing each other. Both of them can also observe and adjust
                                              the communication by using proper gestures and body language. It is the most
                                              effective form of communication as the inflation sent by the sender is perceived
                                              directly with minimum distortion of the information. The sender also  gets the
                                              acknowledgement immediately.




              •  E-mail: It is  an  easy and  cost effective way of  written communication  where digital
                information can be sent instantly to one or more people in various locations.






                                    •  Notices/Posters: It is a form of visual  communication  generally  used when the same
                                       message is required to be conveyed to a large group of people. For example posters help in
                                       publicising  a  given  event  like  an  annual  day  celebration  in  school,  Diwali  Fair  etc,  a
                                       propaganda like “Say No To Plastic” , or even an artwork.




              •  Business Meetings: It involves interactive and formal communication between two or
                more people where participants can engage in real-time discussions, share ideas, and
                exchange information.



                                     •   Other Methods: Some other methods of communication can be using social networking,
                                        messaging or making a phone call, through newsletter, blogs etc.

                                     Choosing the right method of communication Choosing the right method of communication
                                     depends on
                                     •  target audience
                                     •  costs
                                     •  kind/type of information
                                     •  urgency/priority

              The way you communicate directly affects how you are perceived and understood by others. Clear and effective
              communication fosters positive relationships, while poor communication can lead to misunderstandings and strained
              connections. It is therefore crucial to invest ample time and carefully weigh various factors when deciding on the most
              appropriate methods to enhance your effectiveness in tasks.
