Why Every Canadian Should Have a Free Nili Email Address

For businesses and personal use, a Nili free email address is the best choice for Canada. Why? Because it’s made and maintained by Canadians.
Email is still the primary source of online communication, despite the rise in popularity of social media. Companies rely upon email rather than other kinds of communication because they value privacy and professionalism. It is also useful and valid in legal matters. Emails can be tracked, monitored, and automated, which makes email a more valuable marketing tool than ever. It is the best way to conduct a one-on-one conversation with potential leads. These are just a few of the reasons why Nili is the perfect choice as a free email account provider in Canada. It is designed for business, and in particular, for the unique Canadian market.

The National Email Address

Although there are many free, high-quality email providers like Hotmail (by Microsoft), Yahoo Canada (by Yahoo) and Gmail (by Google), many countries prefer to have their own national email account providers. For example, China has sina.com, South Korea has naver.com and India has rediff.com. Why is it then that Canada doesn’t have a national platform for email accounts?

Canadians rely predominantly on American email services provided by Yahoo, Hotmail, and Gmail. These providers serve most of the Canadian market.

Some Canadians use their internet provider’s email address

Some Canadians simply use the internet address that comes from their internet provider, such as Rogers, Bell, Telus, Shaw, and Primus, amongst many more. For example, if you get your internet service from Bell, the company will offer you a free email account with a suffix of sympatico.ca or bell.ca.

What is the issue?

First of all, Yahoo provides Rogers’ email. Hotmail provided Bell’s emails. And if you look closer, you will see that the major players are providing email accounts for the rest of Canada’s internet providers if they did not create a very basic by themselves.

Further, you will encounter problems when you want to change your internet provider. For example, if you want to move from Bell to Rogers, you will lose your email account. Your email address is tied to your current internet provider.

We need a national platform, one that doesn’t force us to change our email accounts.

What is the solution?

Nili offers free email addresses to Canadians that are hosted, managed, supported, and maintained by Canadians. Our service is fast and reliable. By using Nili, you won’t lose your email address if you change your internet service provider.

We do our best to serve our communities. Save time, save your address, and rely upon Canadian email communications with Nili.

Tips for Choosing Your Free Canadian Email Address Wisely

Free email is easy to sign up for, but before you register just any email address, see how you can get one wisely.

Changing your email frequently is a lot of work — especially these days. Just about everything you do is tied to the Internet in some way — social media, banking, and even employment. When you sign up for a new free Canadian email account, you’ll want to take the time to choose your email wisely. That way you don’t find yourself having to change an email you regret down the road.

Your Email is Your Personality

Some professionals even say that the email extension you register could put you into a stereotypical category. So, before you choose what comes after the @ symbol, you might want to consider this:

  • @gmail: Means you’ve picked Gmail because they’re simplistic and just make sense. You’re Internet savvy and appreciate good features, which is why you opted for Gmail.
  • @hotmail: You’re stuck in the old days of the Internet. You aren’t up-to-date on the latest technologies, probably receive a lot of spam email and might even have spyware attacking your computer. Unless you moved to live.com
  • @iCloud: You’re an Apple enthusiast. Some say those with iCloud emails are most likely graphic designers.
  • @aol: You’re stuck in the post dial-up modem era and out of touch with today’s technology.
  • @yahoo: You’re a little savvier than the AOL user, but you still participate in chain mail and are stuck with any advertisements around your inbox.
  • @Nili: You’re a Canadian!

Now that you know which email extension defines you, it’s time to create an email you will love to use today and 10 years from now.

Tips for Choosing Your Free Canadian Email

You don’t want to have to change accounts down the road. So, future-proof your email before you sign up to prevent that from happening. These tips will help you select the right name the first time around so that you don’t have to worry about changing it:

1) Never Use Your School Name or Company Name

You might be attending one school or have a certain employer right now, but using those in your email name limits you for future use of that same free email account. For example, you work for Canadian Bank and Trust as a part-time teller. Using “CanadianBTTeller” as your username limits you, especially if you quit that job or go to use the same email address to apply for another.

Stick to something that can stick with you today and into the future.

2) Use Email in Canada You Can Access From Anywhere

Some service providers limit you on when and where you can access your free email. Pick a service provider that offers a web-based service — that way you can access email on your computer or a mobile device regardless of where you are in the country.

3) Go For Extra Features With Your Free Canadian Email

Nili, as a free email provider, offers extra features as part of the free service. Others have an option to upgrade to a paid account. These features allow your email account to grow with you, such as a higher transfer speed, larger storage volume or mobile sync capabilities. It is important to pick a provider that has scalable options — that way you don’t have to switch providers down the road.

4) Register an Email That is Easy to Remember and You Won’t Regret

You want an email that is easy to remember and one you’re proud to hand out. “Gr8Grl” might have been a cool email address in high school, but it isn’t something you would want to put on a business card or give out to employers when you’re looking for work.

The Internet is a big thing these days. Most people can access everything they need right on the web. Free email is just as reliable as paid email. Let the team at Nili show you how versatile free email in Canada can be with our robust features and unique packaging. Whether you’re looking for personal or business, Nili has your virtual life covered.
