A few months ago, I received an email asking me to forward payment for my new insurance policy to a certain mailing address. That email was from an @gmail.com address. In the message, it said something along the lines of:
“If you have any questions, please contact [name] at [name]@aol.com”
Seriously? Was this a scam?
Unfortunately, no. I proceeded to call my insurance agent, and questioned them on it. Turns out they don’t have any company addresses, even though they have a website.
So, what even is a branded email address? In fact, it’s very simple. Let’s say your website is awesomeevents.com. A client goes to your website, likes your content, and submits a contact form. When you respond, do you think your client is more likely to trust an email from john@awesomeevents.com or john1234@aol.com?
