should I bin my gmail address?

I know, you have used the same email address for years, and you were so pleased when it was available.

However there are a number of compelling reasons why it might not be doing your business any favours.

These hold true whether your business email is businessname@gmail.co.uk, myname@gmail.com, businessname@hotmail.co.uk or any similar ones.

  • it may prevent potential clients from taking you seriously
  • it is more likely to end up in their junk email
  • if you have a website why not follow the same url?
  • what if you take on more staff?
  • it is difficult to be organised with your emails
  • it will limit your ability to complete certain tasks as cannot be used for certain purposes

If you have a website using your business name, you will have a domain name. If you don’t we can help with this too! So much more relevant than a gmail address!

Using your unique domain name we can easily set up one or more email addresses, email forwarding and out of office messages. If we look after your bookkeeping or credit control for instance, any emails to accounts@ can automatically be forwarded to us to deal with for you.

If we set you up with Microsoft 365, this will give you all of the emails tools in Outlook, as well as Word, Excel, 1TB of data storage and much more. The starting point for this is less than the cost of a cappuccino a month!
