1. CONTENT AND/OR THEORETICAL BACKGROUND:

REASONS WHY KEEPING A PROFESSIONAL EMAIL ACCOUNT MATTERS

Maintaining a professional image

In business, maintaining a professional image is important for keeping your customers’ trust and
appearing credible online. When potential or existing customers contact you with questions, or if
you reach out to them or to other businesses, using an address like
john@smithsplumbing.com.au definitely looks more professional than
johnsmith280475@hotmail.com. Routing your email through your business’s domain name
shows that your business is well-established and genuine, and is likely to make customers feel
more comfortable dealing with you.

Reduce the risk of being marked as spam

Exactly because anyone can sign up for a free email address quickly and easily, they are
frequently used by spammers, and as a result are often viewed with suspicion – this is why
having a professional email address connected to your own domain is such a trust marker. Some
spam and malware filters will automatically disable, or reroute to Junk Mail folders, emails from
providers like Hotmail, for example. A professional email address reduces the risk of your
business emails bouncing or being sent straight to the trash can.

Imagine you’re looking for a wedding photographer online. You want to find a reputable professional
who you can rely on and, after scrolling through numerous websites you finally decide on the one you
want to contact. It all looks perfect until you read “Email me at sarah.babe.xoxo@hotmail.com“*.

Next, consider meeting somebody at a business networking meeting. You want to hire a PR
professional, for example, and the person you are talking to ticks all the right boxes.

Then, he hands you his business card and tells you to get in touch
at footballFREAK1987@yahoo.com.

Unprofessional email addresses ruin the credibility of a business. You wouldn’t wear Bermuda shorts
for a meeting with your bank manager or tell the Board of Directors the suggestive nickname you
earned in Ibiza.

So, with professionalism in mind, don’t let your brand make a terrible impression with an inappropriate
email address.

A custom email address helps your SME to be taken seriously. Assuming your business already has
a website, use the same URL to create your company’s professional email addresses. This will have
key benefits among many others:

Branding
The email address steve.kelly@car-valeting.org incorporates the business’s brand name; people who
see your contact details can even make an educated guess about the URL of your website.

Giving out your email address becomes an indirect way of promoting a company’s web address,
whereas using car-valeting@gmail.com gives potential customers no indication of where they can find
you online.

Authenticity
A professional email address creates an air of authenticity. Using SEOspecialist147@yahoo.com, on
the other hand, simply does not convey trustworthiness.

Consumers look for indications that an online business is legitimate before handing over their cash or
sharing a web link with their friends so, if you have a well-presented website with authoritative
information and an appropriate domain name, don’t let yourself down with a questionable free email
address on your contact page.

2
Simplicity
So many people use free email services that finding a username can be difficult. This means that
people often have to add a string of numbers or an extra word to their name or nickname to find an
available option.

So, while clothesshop@gmail.com looks unprofessional, clothesshop1989@gmail.com is even

worse!

The lack of new username options means that getting an email address with one of the popular, free
email platforms now requires creative thinking and compromises.

In contrast, emails set up with your own domain can be simple and streamlined. Some options
include:

 [firstname]@domain.com
 [firstname.surname]@domain.com
 sales@domain.com, support@domain.com, admin@domain.com etc.

Conclusion
 Email addresses are not something any brand should compromise on. Create a great
impression and make your contact details memorable and appropriate, not embarrassing and
unprofessional.
