As you may aware, customers are infuriating. They want the prices and personal service that small business can offer, but they want the (supposed) security of a big company. Let us show you in 4 simple steps you can meet them part way with little investment from just $264 per year.
1. Get a Domain This is the first step to make your business look big is to get your own domain name. Nothing screams ‘very small business’ like an email address that points to your ISP (Internet Service Provider),

, or a website on a share host like someisp.com/mycompany. You really want to be mycompany.com.au. Having your own company domain not only boost your business image, but also give you flexibility to change providers when a better deal is available because you no longer tied to your ISP.
2. Choose your Host to host your domain, email and your website Once you have your own mycompany.com domain, you will need to find a suitable hosting company to host your domain, email and your website. We know that choosing a hosting plan it is a difficult process to choose the right hosting provider, therefore we at Vertu Technology has created an article “Beginners guide to choosing a hosting plan” click here to read this article.
3. Make your contacts professional Now since you have your emails sent from the more professional mycompany.com.au. You will want to give your customers and sales leads specific departments to contact. So how do you achieve this? First starts with the obvious email addresses like

and do the same with accounts, complaints and support, but don’t go overboard. Having separate emails for the above departments also making your business appear grander than it is and it also dividing your business logically which will help you to divide your workload as your business expands and you take on staff for those functions.
4. Presence in World Wide Web You always have a choice to do the website yourself, but I would recommend you to hire a professional designer so you can put all your effort in building your business and getting customers. A professional looking page will also go along way towards improving your company images as a big company. It does not need to be a complex design. The rule of thumb for a good web site is simple, to the point, easy to navigate and of course easy to maintain even by yourself without the knowledge of programming so you can update the content easily. Maybe right now you are itching to get started on these steps and you are asking yourself where do I start and who do I talk to?
