I would agree to keep it the same as your web address, easy for people to remember. :chef:
 
pchef4u@gmail is taken... ;)
 
How about PCAmanda?
 
Gmail is great cuz even if you have to change internet providers, you will never have to change your email address again! This is important for you- no changing business cards, stamps, and customers will always have your correct email address! After changing my email 3 times in 2 years, (due to internet providers) I went to gmail and love it!
 
I definitely agree with Kelly. You'll want to set up an email account for your business that is NOT dependent on your internet provider. Gmail, Yahoo, hotmail, there are lots of them out there and most are FREE. Even if YOU don't have any plans to change your internet provider, you never know if your service will change, or get more expensive, or if something else better will become available, or even if the internet provider will change their name or get bought by another company. It has happened to me too many times in the past - and since I depend so much on email, I find it's much easier to just use Yahoo and not worry about whether Comcast changes their name. I don't ever give my comcast address to anyone.

Also, gmail has MUCH more storage than any other free providers. It's incredibly awesome. I've had my account for over 2 years and I've never deleted anything. I love it! :love:
 
mine is [email protected]

And I agree - Gmail rocks! I like that it clumps replies from the same email together in one email rather than having a ton of them in your in-box.

Me too. I tell all my new recruits that they should get a free web-based email for their PC biz when they start as well. Speaking from experience....

I agree. I use gmail for my email service (going on 4 years now) and it's awesome. I've changed ISPs 3 times and haven't had to change my email once!!

As for names, I'd stick with alfskitchen@gmail.... ;) - keep it simple and the same as your website so people will remember BOTH easier. I like that "ALF" is your initials - it's also a cute "nickname" (whenever I see your posts, I don't think of you as "Amanda", I think of you as "Alf"! LOL!) :D

Yes, you can import/export gmail through Outlook. It's in the settings, I think.

Okay I am getting ready to sign up and try it out. It's free so if I don't like it, I'll just add another comcast email. I am going w/ alfskitchen@ .Thanks so much for everyones input. I would be truly lost w/o you guys.
 
I think of you as Alf too, hehe. Definitely stay away from too long, it's difficult for labels, stamps etc. Alfskitchen is cute and memorable. :)

I LOVE my gmail account for so many reasons! However, i have had difficulty using it with outlook (It might be just me). Nevertheless, gmail has a handy feature where you can edit your font styles, sizes, and colors. You can also hyperlink text, do bullets, centering, and many other things. My favorite feature is how you can filter messages and automatically apply a certain label to an incoming message.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are some creative ideas for a Pampered Chef email address?

Consider using combinations of your name with Pampered Chef-related terms, such as "YourNameCooks" or "YourNameChef". You could also incorporate words like "kitchen", "cooking", or "recipes" to make it more relevant, such as "YourNameInTheKitchen" or "YourNameRecipes".

Should I include my location in my email address?

Including your location can be helpful if you want to attract local customers. For example, "YourNameChefInCity" can make it clear you are serving a specific area. However, if you plan to expand your reach, you might want to keep it more general.

Is it better to use a personal or professional email address for my Pampered Chef business?

Using a professional email address is advisable for your Pampered Chef business. It helps establish credibility and makes it easier for customers to recognize your brand. Consider using a domain that reflects your business, like "[email protected]" or a similar format.

How can I make my email address memorable?

To make your email address memorable, keep it short, simple, and easy to spell. Use alliteration or rhymes, like "CookingWithYourName" or "YourNameCooksQuick". Avoid numbers or special characters that can complicate it.

Can I change my email address later if I don’t like it?

Yes, you can change your email address later if you find that it’s not working for you. Just be sure to inform your contacts and update any promotional materials or social media profiles to reflect the new address.
