Benefits of Using a Business Email Solution
Used By Freelances And Small, Medium And Large Businesses
Stay Professional
Having a customised email address with your domain name – for example, [email protected] – looks professional and gives your company the credibility it deserves.
Make It Your Own
You can customise your email account to reflect your business’ brand. Choose a professional theme, colours and add your logo to your team’s accounts.
Email On The Go
You can stay connected with your team and customers wherever you go. Microsoft and Zoho both offer user-friendly mobile apps for iOS and Android devices.
Easy To Manage
Timing is important, and Zoho and Microsoft make it easy to schedule your business emails. You can set up emails in advance and make sure they are sent perfectly on time.
Keep It Secure
Data security is vital to protect your company and customers’ privacy. Email hosting is secure, something that is not guaranteed with a free email account.
Be In Control
Microsoft and Zoho’s business email solutions offer powerful control panels. You can add users, create aliases, moderate email content and more.
