Many of our clients are just getting started, and need assistance getting a professional email set up.
Launching a new business is an exciting journey filled with possibilities, and one of the foundational elements that often gets overlooked is setting up a professional email. In an era where digital communication is the lifeblood of business interactions, establishing a credible and polished email presence is essential. In this article, we’ll explore why a professional email is crucial for your new venture and guide you through the steps to set it up effectively.
What is a professional email?
A professional email address is personalized to your domain (e.g., [email protected]).
Is having a professional email important? Absolutely.
First impressions matter, and a professional email builds trust and credibility.
A professional email immediately conveys a sense of legitimacy and professionalism to clients, partners, and customers. It establishes trust and confidence in your brand right from the initial point of contact.
A professional email allows you to maintain consistent branding by incorporating your business name into your email address.
Plan for growth.
If your personal email (or even an email like [email protected]) works for now, it may not work forever.
Professional email services are scalable, making them suitable for businesses of all sizes. As your new business expands, your email provider can easily scale its services to accommodate the growing demands of your communication needs.
Stay in control.
Having a professionally managed email allows you to keep control of all business and employee accounts. All of your emails will be managed, retained, and accessible at all times.
How to I set up a professional email?
Depending on your hosting provider, email may be included! After you set up a domain name, you can use the user interface/cPanel to set up your individual email addresses. This would allow you to check your professional via webmail, Outlook, or a personal Gmail account.
The best “future-proof” option is selecting a email service provider.
We recommend Google Workspace.
Not only does Google Workspace allow you a scalable option for hosting your professional email, but many other features are included in the suite. Features such as document sharing, video conferences, chat, document and spreadsheet applications, and more add a lot of valuable collaboration tools to any aspiring business/organization.
