The question “Why do I need a business email address?” will most likely have crossed your mind a few times. You may not even see the need for professional email addresses because you can freely use email services like Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail and so on for your business.
What is a Business Email
As a business, email correspondence is a huge part of your dealings with your employees, clients, vendors, business partners and more. So, how can you ensure your brand name resonates in the minds of the people, customers, and businesses you communicate with daily? Would you prefer they remember johndoe@gmail.com or johndoe@yourbusinessname.com? Ask yourself if you would you rather advertise the free email services you use or your business’s domain name?
Using a free email service for your business gives most people the impression that you are either an amateur in your niche or a fraud. This means you have to work extra hard to convince people to do business with you. In business, first impressions still matter. Make your first impression counts or run the risk of losing potential customers and partners to your competitors.
