TORONTO, CANADA, February 23, 2012 (Press-News.org) Purchasing a domain name is one of the first steps that new home stagers and other business owners take when starting a new company. But according to home staging expert Debra Gould, founder of the Staging Diva Home Staging Business Training Program, there is a related step that is often overlooked.
"Home stagers should also visit popular social networking sites like Twitter, Facebook and ActiveRain to set up accounts in their company names," explains Gould. "Even if you are not planning to use those accounts right now, you should still claim your company name before someone else does. That way you'll have it when you're ready to start networking online."
On her blog, Home Staging Business Report, Gould tells the story of Staging Diva Graduate, Susan Holland. Even though Holland wasn't ready to become an active Twitter user, she took the step of securing her Twitter identity to prevent others from using it.
Gould explains what happened next: "Someone wrote to me from Australia after trying to secure the Twitter name 'Fresh Insight' for his own business of the same name. He saw that the owner of the Fresh Insight Twitter account wasn't using it actively and was only following me. Since that was his only clue to the identity of the Twitter user, he contacted me asking if I knew the owner and could encourage them to give up the name."
Gould had no intentions of doing this, but instead complimented Holland on being proactive: "Had Susan waited until she was ready to start using Twitter to grab her company name, this other gentleman would have already been using her company name and she would've had to come up with something different. That's the thing about the Internet—you're not just competing for names with everyone else in your location but also worldwide!"
