Overall rating: (N/A)
The article "Small Business Email Addresses: Get Creative With It" is about email marketing, it was released by Keita Del Valle.
One of the great things about owning the domain name for your small business website is that you have the freedom to create any e-mail address you want (provided it's @yourdomainname, of course).Tired of boring, old "info" or "sales" or "customerservice" or "joesmith" @yourcompany.Com?
Come up with something creative and memorable that also delivers a marketing message:
fastsales@joesrealestate.Com
getanswers@janeslegal.Com
lookgreat@janesbeauty.Com
luxuryrides@joeslimo.Com
Didn't get the domain name you were coveting? Make up for it with your business e-mail address.
Let's say you own a restaurant and want the domain name "greatfood.Com". Well, you can try to battle 1-800-Flowers for it, but you'd do better to find a domain name that's available—hopefully one with more brand appeal than "greatfood.Com"—and then create the e-mail address greatfood@yourrestaurant.Com.Your business e-mail address may not get as much exposure as your business website address, but it does get a LOT of exposure.
And it should be displayed almost everywhere your website address and business phone number are displayed.Of course, all that exposure will eventually lead to lots of spam. So, remember to create sevearl e-mail addresses that are targeted toward different aspects of your business communication to help cut down on and sift through the clutter. The creative e-mail address you promote to the public in your advertisements does not have to be the same one you use to communicate with vendors and other business partners.
And perhaps when you're wearing your CEO hat, you may want to use something a little more conservative and official-sounding.Keita Del Valle is the owner of Crafty Pixel, a Corona website design company which operates from Southern California's Inland Empire.
