A business is as good as its marketing strategy and how it comes across to a prospective customer. And in this age where cyber crime is ubiquitous a business’s reputation is at risk as it can be used by cyber criminals to scam unsuspecting existing and prospective customers alike. That is why it is important to make sure your business’s email and websites can not be used to con your existing and future customers. This can be achieved easily by gettjng your own domain and professional email instead of free and less secure and thus high risk services like gmail, yahoo, webmail etc. for your email and 0000webhost, wix and yhe likes for free hosting and domains for your website. Below we discuss, briefly, some reasons why you should abandon Gmail, yahoo and webmail and opt for a professional email and website as a business.

Easy to replicate

With a professional email the domain has a security feature that makes it impossible for anyone to create an email address with your domain. This feature is called a catch all setting and it redirects all email sent using your domain name to your mailbox with this setting. For example if your main mailbox is info@dsignstudios.co.za then any email address that your company has not registered but uses your domain will come to this mail box only. This means no one can create an email using your domain without your permission. And in this era of data security sensitivity, safety is at the top of the agenda.

Professional look

With a website and an email that matches the domain of the website you look professional because big companies have websites and since this takes some money out of your pocket it is likely that your business is doing well, and this usually means you are doing a good job to your customers.

Competition

Between sales@business1.co.za and salesatbusiness2@gmail.com, most customers would take the first one. The second one looks like the guys are trying their luck in business while the first just feels like the guys know their story. Also, if you are still new in your industry, then you should look at top guys. Yes. The guys you are trying to be like or surpass are doing it, so why not join them?

Legitimacy

By having a professional email and a corresponding website, you add to your believability and you look legit. This is because the email is linked to your domain and your domain is linked to you. So one can always catch you if you rob them.

Easy to remember

If your customers remember your website and you have a professional email linked to the website then with a catch all setting, they can use your name and the domain to send you emails. They don’t have to cram or memorize your email. People are too busy with their businesses and so they have bo time to remember your email address. Remembering your website address is enough.

Cyber security

email addresses like Gmail and yahoo are used a lot by scammers so people tend to avoid them a lot. This can hurt your email marketing and waste important leads. Some people set their mailboxes to redirect emails from the big Gmail and yahoo, etc. strange to junk to minimize the risk of being hacked.
