You’ve built a beautiful website. You’ve got social media covered. Your services are in demand.
But when a potential client clicks “Contact Us” and gets this reply:
📧 johnmbugua87@gmail.com
…something subtle—but powerful—is lost.
In Kenya’s competitive digital marketplace, professional email isn’t a luxury—it’s a credibility signal. And relying on free email providers like Gmail, Yahoo, or Hotmail is silently costing you trust, leads, and brand equity.
Let’s explore why—and how Ehost Kenya’s Email Hosting (from just Ksh 2,200/year) gives your business the polished, secure, and scalable communication foundation it deserves.
🚫 Why @gmail.com Hurts Your Business Image
|
Scenario
|
With Gmail
|
With Professional Email (
you@yourbrand.co.ke) |
|---|---|---|
|
Sending a quote to a corporate client
|
“Is this legit?” 🤔
|
“They’re serious.” ✅
|
|
Team collaboration
|
Mixed personal/work accounts → confusion
|
Unified branding:
sales@, support@, hr@ |
|
Recovering from staff turnover
|
Risk of lost access
|
Accounts stay with your business, not the employee
|
|
Trust & professionalism
|
Feels informal, even amateurish
|
Signals stability, structure, and legitimacy
|
💡 A 2024 Kenyan SME survey found that 78% of corporate buyers are less likely to engage with a vendor using free email domains—especially for contracts over Ksh 100,000.
