There are lots of benefits for a business to have their own email address instead of using the many free services out there like Gmail, Hotmail, Outlook, or any other. With your own email address your emails are branded with your name and not with a free service that gives a cheap, unprofessional impression.
For a small yearly cost you can have your business email hosted in Australia on Dedicated Email Servers that include Excellent Spam Filtering, Exchange, IMAP or POP and Web Retrieval.

How about adding an Email Signature to your emails that include a logo, contact details and business hours?
And finally I’d like to mention Email Etiquette. What to do and not do in Emails. Here’s a Hint, Emails are not limited to 140 characters or less so there are no excuses for silly abbreviations, not starting with a greeting or singing off. Did you know a signed off email with a Thanks gets up to 80% more action to it than none at all?
