Use a professional email address instead of Hotmail or Gmail
Jul 17 28
Using your own business email address looks much more professional than a free service such as Hotmail or Gmail.
Your email address represents you and your business so you want an address which looks established and presentable. When I receive an email from a business but the address is ‘davetheplumber@hotmail.co.uk’ it just looks unprofessional and less serious than ‘david@dhplumbing.co.uk’
Also the second address will look much more professional on the dhplumbing.co.uk website.
Like most people I have a Hotmail address and a Gmail address but they are used for personal interests such as online shopping and signing up for online services.
If you are still using a personal email address for your business, we strongly recommend that you take advantage of the free email accounts we offer. We can help you get this set up very quickly.
