This week as with any new company we begin branding our company across many platforms. This is a step missed by many companies in. Branding of the company to its website in email is a second thought and gets many companies in trouble. On your business card do you have a me@yahoo.com or me@msn.com or me@gmail.com address? When you look for new vendors and customers and are reading their business cards what is your first impression to seeing an address like that?
- Do I want to do business with this company that is so small they don’t have their own email accounts?
- Do I really want to do business with them?
- Are they big enough to support me?
- So why do you have one?
So now that you realize you need to do something what is the cost of getting a good email address? First you need to come up with a good domain name. The cost of domain names, web and email hosting has become more affordable over the years. For around $15 dollars a month you can have a website and email. One customer not tossing you’re your card due to the email address could pay for that. That is some pretty good ROI for a simple piece of branding. So get started today on your Internet branding.
