You don't find that a gmail address on a business card conveys that it's a 1-2 person operation or very loosely organized? Given the low barrier to entry for setting up hosted email (google apps being $5/mo/user) I personally get the impression the person doesn't take their business seriously, on par with business cards with perforated edges from home printing.
I know my gut reaction when I get a (semi-)professional email from a gmail account is "ok.. what's the scam angle on this one?"
- dvirsky 11y agoWhen I was a 1 person operation, and worked as a consultant doing dev work and consulting, I had no problem using my Gmail account. Of course when I started a small company we used a hosted domain. But before the Gmail days it was weird and unprofessional for even a 1 person operation to have a Webmail address.
