Business now runs online. Nobody would wait for a business mail to arrive on post. 

While it can always seem easy and tempting to save some money and open any free email account for your businesses, it is extremely important to have a professional email address to help you build your brand and credibility. 

A good email hosting service provider in Dubai will help you set up as well as manage your business email account for a small cost. 

Here are a few reasons on why you should use a professional business email.  

Credibility

Customers today receive hundreds of e-mails and are extremely cautious when it comes to opening them. A custom email address makes your business look genuine and established as a brand. Using a free email account @gmail.com, @yahoo.com etc. instead of a custom email address, may even tarnish your brand image.  

Brand Image 

Even if you run a small mom and pop shop, customers will look you up online to learn more about your products, prices, offers, timings, reviews etc. This highlights the importance having a website and that too a good one. A good website with a custom domain and a custom email address echoes your brand identity and brings in a professional appeal to your website. 

Under-Utilized Marketing Opportunity

Apart from representing your professionalism through a business email address, you are using your contact information to market for you. Registering a domain name in Dubai and adding your email to this name is easy and affordable. But the returns are remarkably high.    

By simply including your email address to your content, business card etc. you are offering yourself a marketing opportunity and improving your SEO. With this savvy move, your business will be easily found by those looking for company or your services.

You are Never Spammed

A generic email address has a high probability of getting blocked by spam filters. Having a business email address will help you bypass the Spam filters. This might not be the case with a generic email address. 

Spam is all about safeguarding people from unwanted and doubtful and potentially harmful emails. The above are just a few pointers on the importance of having a professional email address. 

If you want to set up an email address on your own domain name you need an email hosting plan. Most web hosting service providers in Dubai include email hosting as a sub-service.
