Common Sense Web Design Says to choose an email address wisely...
The following email addresses have been altered (but not by much) to protect identities.
"Skoal bandit at yahoo" doesn’t say "computer repair tech."
"Tequila diva at hotmail" doesn’t say "virtual assistant."
"Party till you puke at yahoo" sold insurance and "stripperbabe at aol" was an office secretary selling health products.
One's email address communicates a lot about an individual - especially if it is potentially embarrassing for the person.
Their new emails tell people that they are in business: “Their name at their company dot com.”
On a side note, I need to meet Dr. Trent Brumbaugh at Marietta Square Chiropractic and pick his brain. I’m kinda feeling what he’s doing. Great promotion and I love his website. The best way to introduce me is via 3-way email with a warm contact.
