Title: Pros/Cons of offering free email account to your users?
Post by: StarWars Fan on October 26, 2006, 05:23:07 PM
I'm debating offering a free email account to my users. What are some of the potential pros and cons of doing this? ::) Anybody else do this?

I actually did this a while back, but I think users have wisened up to the whole get a free email and advertise our name thing. No one wanted one. Course, it does depend on your domain. Mine's gamerunlimited.com, so maybe @gamerunlimited.com just doesn't sound good. I suppose if you had a better email-sounding name like @postalservice.com or something, then people may want it.
