Why is using a Hotmail or Gmail email address is bad for business?

/in /by

Hotmail or Gmail email address for your business can result in fewer customer enquiries

If you are using a using mybusiness@hotmail.com or mybusiness@gmail.com (or BTInternet, Virgin, BT Internet and so-on) you won’t be making a good first impression and could deter some people from contacting you.

Having your emails hosted under your own domain name shows that:

  • You’re serious about your public image and want to make a good first impression.
  • You have invested time and money into your businesses.
  • You understand good business practice.
  • You run an established business and are not a ‘fly-by-night business’.
