Technology and Legal Marketing Part 3 - Get e-mail under your own domain

I've noticed that many attorneys have their own websites, but still use e-mail addresses through yahoo, gmail, hotmail and other free e-mail services.  It's understandable, since paying for e-mail under your own website's domain can be costly.  

But there is a FREE solution for solos and small firms to look more professional. Google Apps can be set up under your own domainname to give you up to 10 professional e-mail addresses that are gmail-based.  All you need to get started is a gmail account (set one up for free even if you don't use it).

I actually use this app myself, because it's easy to set up and maintain.  Even if you're a one-person operation, you can use the extra accounts for other things.  

For example, you can have: 
  • Separate e-mail addresses for each area of law you practice;
  • Separate e-mail addresses for members of your staff;
  • Generic e-mail addresses for independent contractors (e.g., Independent Contractor1@johnsmithlaw.com), where you change the password if you need to find someone else; or,
  • Separate e-mail addresses to keep yourself organized (e.g. info@johnsmithlaw.com, bills@johnsmithlaw.com; etc.)

    About Tina

    I am not a lawyer.. Having said that, I’ve worked with A LOT of lawyers and other legal professionals since the 1990s, and have interacted with my share of clients. Like any job, there are good experiences and bad experiences, but I love what I’m doing.

    I am not a marketing professional, but I’ve always been fascinated by it. When I discovered the world of legal marketing, it opened up a whole new world for me.

    I designed this blog as a way to combine my passions in a way to help lawyers like you innovate and expand the potential of your practice. Feel free to explore the site and let me know what you think!
