What I really don’t understand are those companies that have their own domain, yet still use Hotmail, and Yahoo (or Gmail, Comcast, Verizon, Juno, AOL, etc.) as their e-mail address.

3. Isn’t it time you stop using free email to run your
business?
Here are a few reasons why:
- looks cheap
- less professional
- less likely to trust
- fly by night operation

4. Don’t be fooled, using these free email services can jeopardize the success of
your business from the start or limit the growth moving forward. But let’s take
a closer look, did you know…
1. You may be perceived as a spammer? These services are often abused
by spammers making legitimate emails harder to distinguish from spam.
Email you send may be blocked due to its free email service of origin.

5. 2. Many free email services are supported by advertising? They will
include various types of ads embedded in the emails you send to prospects
and customers. Your recipient may see ads for adult toys and other intimate
services right next to your email.

6. 3. There is virtually no technical support? If you have any kind of problem
with your account, unfortunately, most free email services only offer a generic
automatic email response. Imagine the impact on your business if you are
unable to reset password or login into your account.

7. 4. The information contained in your email is not secure? Most free
services are not using secure messaging options like email encryption and
digital signatures. Without the proper security you run the risk of exposing
your information as well as your customers.

8. When starting a business or expanding to new markets it is essential to
keep your domain name in mind, whether your business is web-based or
not. A good domain name can go a long way toward establishing your
brand, building your reputation and adding credibility. Ultimately resulting
in more customers and better sales for your business.
