How to create a business email address for your brand

Communication through digital channels is crucial. If you own a business, you should create a business email as well. When a big part of communication with clients is done via email or newsletters, your professional image depends on having a customized business mail address.

We’ll tell you why owning such a mail address is that important and show you a way to get there. But what exactly is business email?

It’s basically a custom email address that contains the name of your company. In our case, support@branchbob.com is a business email address. it conveys the idea that yours is official and reliable - a regular email address could not create such a professional image. Or how does branchbob_support@xmail.com sound to you?

It does not make a serious impression if an entrepreneur does not use his or her own address. Professional communication is essential and an appropriate email address is simply a must.

For a professional email address, you’ll need your own domain. Domain and webspace are not only needed for your email address, but also to set up your website. Even if you don't want your own website, you can get a domain and create your own email address.

We’ll show you what is to be done in order to get an own business email address. Before you reach this goal, a few more steps are necessary - if you already have an own domain, jump directly to point 3.

1. Register your domain

The first step is to register a domain. This domain should preferably contain the name of your company. Here applies the principle "Keep it simple". Choose a name for the domain that is easy to type in and can be found quickly.

The name of your domain also affects the credibility of your company. Therefore you should choose the name with care. So ask yourself if the domain name is consistent with your business.

Once you have made your decision, you should check if the domain name is available. You can usually check this at the different domain providers.

2. Build a website

This step can also be done first, but it is common to register a domain first and then create a website. Nowadays, a company without a website is no longer imaginable. As soon as you hear about a company, you intuitively search for the website to get more information.
