Don’t Forget Your Email Address

You work hard in setting up your business, invest in the equipment you need, a nice new website and work hard getting your social media up to speed. However, for many small businesses, the one thing they forget is how their email address looks.

Many businesses continue to use a free email or a personal email, that they set up, when they first started on their venture.

The only problem with this, is that it may not link to the business very well or have a professional feel. Fitness@gmail.com, or computerrepair@icloud.com, just don’t look right.

Hippo Van looks great but needs a Professional Email Address

Getting a Professional Email Address

Take Harry Hippo above. He has been using harry@freemail.net for many years now, for his construction company. Whilst in the context of his van this email is fine, what happens when he emails a customer or a potential client?

The email will look spammy and the potential client, will be unsure of  its provenance.

Far better to use harry@hippoconstruction.co.uk

Changing Emails is nothing to worry about.

One of the biggest fears of any small business is losing the emails and business contacts that have built up over time.

However, the process of switching is very straight forward. Even if you don’t have a website, you can still get a professional email address set up.

Step 1: Choose a new domain name – or if you have an existing web address, you can use that.
Step 2: Choose an email provider, such as Hipposerve.
Step 3: Set up the mailbox(s) you require.
Step 4: Set up the accounts on any devices where you collect email, or use a web mail interface.
Step 5: Forward emails coming in to your old address to your new one.
Step 6: (Optional) Copy the old emails into the new account.

After this, if anyone emails your old account, the messages will come straight to your new one. Any new emails you send will come from your new professional email account.

Harry Hippo

Meet Harry Hippo, the charismatic and slightly unconventional Admin at Hipposerve! Known for his love of the lush and muddy swamps, Harry is a proud vegetarian, favoring the simplicity and freshness of grass — it's his idea of haute cuisine. But don't let his calm, herbivorous lifestyle fool you; Harry is as passionate about swimming as he is about server uptime. With a splash and a dash, he glides through waters (and web hosting issues) with equal grace. Whether he's troubleshooting in the digital world or doing the backstroke in his favorite swamp, Harry brings a unique blend of charm, expertise, and a bit of hippo humor to everything he does. So, if you find your website in deep water, just remember: Harry Hippo is the one to pull you ashore!
