Setup Your Business Emails Using Google Apps
May 25, 2009 by Tyrone
Something very common new business owners overlook when starting an e-commerce business is not having a professional e-mail address. I have had people give me a business card and the first thing I notice is an email address that says “motorcyclestore@gmail.com”. Using free services like Google, Hotmail or Yahoo is not a smart option and I highly recommend moving away from this. In this post I will show you how to set up your own business email address that will cost you nothing going from “motorcyclestore@gmail.com” to “info@motorcyclestore.com”. If you know how to setup a Google Mail (GMail) account already, this will be a breeze for you and no one will know that you use Google Mail to send your emails.
Have A Professional Email Address
Here are the reasons why it is important to have a business email address when you are running an e-commerce website:
- A business email address makes your business look professional whether you are the sole operator or a company with 100+ employees.
- You keep all your business correspondence separate to your personal emails.
- You can have multiple email addresses for different departments such as sales, support or orders.
- The business email address can always be transferred without having to notify contacts.
The next question most commonly asked is what email addresses should we setup?
