Welcome to Day 7 of the Startup Journal. I’m Craig Stephens, founder of City Edition Printing & Design, and today I took a quick but essential step: I created a generic business email for City Edition Design.
📩 Why You Need a Business Email:
Even if you’re just getting started, using something like cityeditiondesign@gmail.com gives your business a sense of structure and professionalism.
It separates your personal messages from client communication and sets the tone for every interaction that follows.
🔧 What to Use It For:
- Bank communications
- Form submissions and contact pages
- Sending and receiving invoices
- Emailing clients
- Connecting apps like Stripe, Google Workspace, or your CRM
This is the digital front door to your business — so make it clean, simple, and business-focused.
💡 Pro Tip:
Eventually, you can upgrade to a domain-based email like info@CityEditionPrinting.com (or cityeditiondesign.com), but starting with a Gmail address works just fine and costs nothing.
Tomorrow, I’ll talk about building your first website or landing page — even a basic one — and why that’s the next move for credibility and conversions.
