Your email address is often one of the first pieces of information a potential client finds out about you and your business when that first message pops up in their inbox. Many people continue to use an existing email address when they first launch their small business or freelance career, but evidence suggests that the use of a proper business email address inspires confidence in new business contacts.Google provides a free service to businesses, offering use of the leading Gmail service for their company email, but incorporating their own unique company domain name. So instead of being janedoe@gmail.com, your clients and customers will see an email from janedoe@yourcompanyname.co.uk, which looks much more professional, but retains all the advantages of web-based email.
Over four million businesses are already using Google Apps, attracted by the fantastic, absolutely free email solution, which has none of the glitches and costs associated with accessing email via Outlook / MS Exchange. Plus there are a whole range of other features that businesses may find useful, such as web-based document storage and editing, calendars and other web-based apps, which all integrate smoothly and help you communicate with colleagues and clients also using the Google system.
It’s also worth noting that all your emails are stored online, so there’s no need to worry about losing your valuable contacts and important messages when your computer crashes or gives up completely!
Tempo is already a huge fan of Google Apps, and you can find more info here. However, don’t get tricked into signing up for a free trial of the paid for version – we recommend using the completely free version to start with!
If you don't have a domain name yet for your business or need help setting this up – just get in touch. We are very familiar with the whole process and are happy to help you get started.
