Many businesses and sole traders want to get things up and running quickly with a mobile phone, free E-Mail address, and a bit of social media. That’s all you need, right?
Some may say that this is enough and that they are happy with what they’ve got, but something as simple as a memorable telephone number and a professional @MyBusiness.co.uk E-Mail address can make a world of difference. It makes your business look well established, trustworthy and improves its perceived size.
We recently surveyed 100 members of the public, and found that more than 4 in 5 would trust a business more if it published a geographic phone number and it’s own .co.uk email instead of a mobile phone and a free email address. Investing in a geographic phone number and a custom domain shows that you’re investing in your company’s brand, reputation and overall image.
For example, it looks far more reputable to email [email protected] -vs- [email protected], and much easier to remember 0161 821 5555 -vs- 07700 900387. Imagine how much better it’ll look in big shiny letters on the side of a van!
It also allows you to separate your personal from your business interactions, allowing you to maintain a healthier work-life balance.
