So hop on board, and give your new career the tools it deserves with your snazzy email address!
Still not convinced? Here’s three more key benefits.
-
It’s a winning strategy for great first impressions
Out there, in the big bad Internet world, there’s malware, scams, and spam at every click. We’ve all learned to keep an eye on details to make sure we’re not being duped.
When an email is sent from the Sofiri domain name, it demonstrates that you’re part of an established brand. Your sofiri.experts email address adds to your credibility and trustworthiness from that very first email communication. It’s proof that you’re not a random spammer – and it can save you from immediate inbox deletion.
Research also solidly supports the use of branded emails as an exercise in trust. A recent Verisign survey showed that 65 percent of consumers believed a company-branded email was more credible for a business professional than using a free email account (like Gmail, or Hotmail).

You’ll win points for professionalism
Have you ever received a business email from a Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo, or any other free provider – like yournameandbusiness@gmail.com or similar? If you shook your head and laughed when you saw it, you’re not the only one.
In today’s day and age, we don’t have an excuse for an unprofessional online presence.
While the Sofiri team work behind the scenes in branding and marketing, you need to do your part by strengthening the associations between your email communications and the Sofiri website. Drive it home even more by using the Sofiri email signature with your title, the Sofiri logo, links to the site and links to our social channels.

Actually achieve your work-life balance goals!
You cannot be all about business, all the time. We don’t want you to be! Life is also about family, friends, and spending time wherever else that matters to you.
So keep these segments of your life separate, by using email addresses to separate your personal and work lives into organised and distinct compartments.
Simply arrange your inbox so that your personal emails arrive in an entirely different inbox from your professional one. Then, switch on and off as you need.
This’ll allow you to focus on the business at hand while you’re working – and common sense indicates that your productivity is going to increase when you’re not being distracted by those steady flow of cat GIF emails from your little sister.
Here’s how to get it done

Thanks for the detailed explanation on how to set up the email address. However, there is nothing mentioned for the many Android users like me. It turned out, I couldn’t setup the email with Outlook for Mobile, but once I used the default email app for Android and followed the manual configuration instructions, it was quite easy.
Also, there is a typo in the default signature provided. It says e-mal instead of e-mail in the following line: If you receive this e-mail by mistake please promptly inform us
by reply e-mail and then delete the e-mal and destroy any printed copy.
A suggestion for exoerts is to use Grammarly to avoid common grammatical errors and typos while dealing with students.
Thanks for the detailed instructions for setting up the sofiri.expert email. However, automatic setup instructions aren’t provided for Android users, which was a bit surprising to me. Anyway, it wasn’t hard to do the setup on Android’s default email app following the manual configuration instructions.
On a different note, there is a typo in the email signature provided: “If you receive this e-mail by mistake please promptly inform us
by reply e-mail and then delete the e-mal and destroy any printed copy.” – this line has a missing “i” from the word e-mail. I hope whoever is copying this signature is also fixing this mistake as it would be very unprofessional to have the same mistake in everyone’s signature [though no one actually reads that part of the signature :)]. To avoid such mistakes and typos, I recommend using Grammarly which is quick in pointing out simple typos that happen to all of us.
Happy emailing!
Hi Maimuna. Thanks for noticing the typo. We’ll be correcting it shortly.
Unfortunately, the automatic setup instructions are given by the email provider, but, we will recommend to their support team to update it.
Regards,
Sofiri Team
