Are you still using Hotmail, Yahoo, AOL, or Gmail for your professional email address?
The saying remains true, first impressions are Everything. In the online world, your first impression is usually through email. The first thing your contact sees is your email address. Receiving an email from mybusiness@yahoo.com carries the notation that you are dealing with either a fly by night business or fraudulent business. Earn the trust of your clients by creating an email through your domain. Create a professional email like name@yourdomain.com. Having a professional email offers the following benefits
- Advertising – Every time you send an email, you are advertising your business name and sharing your website address. Why advertise for Hotmail, Yahoo, or other companies when you could be advertising for yourself?
- Trust – Do you want your clients to take you serious? People like to do business with trustworthy companies. Start building trust by using an email address that looks official.
- Branding – Your email is a part of your brand. It’s how people online know you. Make it easy to remember you by using the same email as your website.
