Email Hosting:
Your business can’t afford to lose clients or customers because you are using a clumsy and unprofessional generic email like your.business@gmail.com over your own domain such as info@your.business.com.
We still see it every day. A company using a generic email address instead of using the trust and authority your brand has earned. When a potential customer contacts your business at abcexample.com the email should be coming from the same domain. Not doing so is a great way to have your messages ignored and unopened. Branding is about keeping the same message and being consistent and that includes your business email address.
In addition to the professionalism that having your own domain in your email provides, it’s advised to consider upgrading to email hosting instead of putting your data in the hands of a free email service like Google or Yahoo.
Here are some of the top benefits you can get from a professional business e-mail.
