Email • Apr 7, 2020 10:00:59 AM • Written by: Courtney

Have you ever considered having your own email address? What if you could also access your documents from anywhere? There are several benefits of upgrading to a custom email address with Google Suite or something similar, four key ones are outlined below. As a small business, G Suite has been perfect for me. I have a professional-looking email, have access to Google's suite of software for word processing and presentations, and have a Google Drive where I can access all my files from any device and it doesn't cost the world!

Note: I am part of the G Suite Referral Program.

What are the benefits of having a business email address?

Having a business email address improves your brand consistency, helps to asset your credibility as a business that is here to stay, increases your email security and opens the doors to flexible working.

Brand building

Show you are in business for the long haul with a branded email address. Use your domain from your website as your email for a consistent brand presence across your customer touchpoints. Having a personalised email address adds a level of professionalism to your brand and is a great foundation to have from the start.

Further to building your brand externally, G Suite gives you the tools to start with your staff. Personalise your company profile by adding your logo so that it appears when your users log in to their emails and access their calendars.

Credibility

An email with your business name as the domain handle adds so much credibility to your business. On top of that, you have access to tools such as calendar and hangouts where you can have meetings online via video call. The calendar in G Suite allows you to have different calendars for various needs so that you can have an overall view of your day, week and month.

Further to this, you can then use this email address in your email marketing to add credibility to your customers' inboxes.

Security and Access

The Google Suite gives you the ability to manage users and devices in your organisation. Users can also choose to activate 2-step verification.

You can share files in your Drive with other people in your organisation and collaborate on documents easily.

Access to files and software

The G Suite gives you access to a range of editing tools for documents, spreadsheets, presentations and forms. These are all accessible via your Google Drive where you can also store other files on the cloud. Users have unlimited storage of Google Docs and 30GB of online storage for other documents or files. Google Drive gives you access to these files on any device.
