Is your contact email address damaging your image?

A contact email address is vital in just about any business today.

But have you ever stopped to think about what yours actually says about your business?

It might be great fun to use an email address like bigboy_dazza69@hotmail.co.uk when emailing your friends, but does it really present the right image for your business?

If you want your customers and suppliers to take you seriously, get a proper business email address.

I’m sure you would agree that darren@xyzbuilders.co.uk would present a much better business image.

Business email addresses cost peanuts. They are usually offered as a part of (or bolt on to) a domain name and web hosting package when you buy a website, but you can buy the domain name, hosting and email addresses without even having a website.

Even if you go to some of the more expensive web hosting companies, email addresses will only cost a few pounds a year each. And if you choose your hosting company carefully you can have unlimited email addresses for your business at no extra cost when you buy a domain name and hosting .

For example, here at Small Business Marketing we offer a .co.uk or .com domain name and web hosting with unlimited email addresses for just £40 per year. Then we charge just £3.00 each to set up the individual email addresses (a one off charge).

So in the above example our fictional builder Darren could have:

The domain name xyzbuilders.co.uk and 12 months web hosting for £40 per annum and any email addresses he liked for just £3.00 each:

• darren@xyzbuilders.co.uk
• darren.smith@xyzbuilders.co.uk
• sales@xyzbuilders.co.uk
• info@xyzbuilders.co.uk
• enquiries@xyzbuilders.co.uk
• iphone@xyzbuilders.co.uk
• freequotes@xyzbuilders.co.uk
• extensions@xyzbuilders.co.uk

and so on.

So come on, do you business image a favour and get yourself and your business a proper contact email address.
