Business Email Address

My one piece of advice is to make sure your business email isn't tied to your internet provider in case you want to change it one day down the line!  Not sure what we were thinking but the whole time we have been tied to Shaw for our email address and although we can forward it to another account, there is a monthly fee.  All of our client base, business cards etc have our shaw email and home phone.  Knowing what we know now, we would've chosen a different email address (hotmail, gmail, anything!).  Just something to think about.

  1. The flip side of that is that when I see an email attached to hotmail, gmail, etc, I don't see them as being as professional as when it's attached to shaw or telus.
    I think if you can do an email address that has your domain, that's best. For example, info@gcphotography.net or something like that. It can go through your gmail or hotmail, but that way you have YOUR domain name and you're not tied to a certain provider.

    1. Kelly, awesome point! I hadn't looked into the options because we are so tied to shaw...and it often drives me crazy :)
